Ditto for MS Excel V1.0. That was released in 1985 and was a Mac only software App as well.  It wasn't until XL 2.0 in 1987 that the windows version was released.

cheers
Darryl

That's true - Around 1988 I had a copy of PowerPoint before it was a MS
product.  It had a hardbound manual about 1/2" thick, and was only for the
first small Mac's!

I think a big part of the issue is Office was never originally an integrated
product, rather a collection of software bundled up. It sort of grew into a
suite of applications over time, but early on they were all totally separate
apps each built with their own idiosyncrasies.  That DNA is still lurking
under the hood today.  Even in VBA, Excel VBA is rather different than
Access VBA to achieve the same thing.  

cheers
Darryl.

Interesting.  Shows how much I know about Excel.

Office is a rather barbaric collection of trash if I do say so myself.
