Wow, that's crazy.

I have never used Office for Macs. I was stunned that this functionality doesn't exist in it.

Every single item you listed is present in the Windows versions of Office, at least in 2007, most of them in earlier versions as well (yes, including "Paste and Match Style"..it's just worded differently).

The one that made me really start wondering is the "Save As". Are you telling me that you really can't Ctrl+F+A and save as? That's insane.

The only feature you complained about that I don't understand is the inability to use cmmd+g for find next. Unless I'm just reading it wrong, isn't hitting the return button easier than hitting multiple keys...and than remembering the shortcut? Maybe that's just me. But it seems that hitting enter is more intuitive than a keyboard shortcut. But perhaps I'm the odd one here....

Is that the only issue you have with the find function, because I've never managed to stump the the feature, personally, and I'm also a "power user" (based on your definition of 8+ daily hours of use). I use it all the time in documents that you aren't supposed to use pronouns in, or when searching for specific transaction amounts in excel I don't really think that a counter-intuitive (from your perspective) is call to call something "horrible" but I wonder if it doesn't work as well in your version.

It is amazing to me that the program has lost so much in translation.
