No.  Windows only. On some Macs, especially Intel based, you can purchase software, e.g., Parallels, VMWare, Leopard Boot Camp, etc. to allow a Mac to run Windows. You then must have a copy of Microsoft Windows installed AND a copy of Microsoft Word 2000, 2002, 2003, or 2007 installed. You can then install Wizard products. Versions of Word for Mac are NOT compatible. It must be one of the aforementioned versions of Word that are compatible with Windows.

PayPal processes millions of transactions daily. They are the largest Internet payment processor in the world; however, they have some quirky aspects. If you  purchase with an e-check, PayPal will put a 4 business day hold on your payment before releasing the order to us. If you have an account with PayPal, and there are funds in the account, PayPal will not let you use a credit card to purchase. You must first use or deplete the cash in your account.
Nonetheless, they have a toll-free phone number and will help you resolve any problems: 1.888.221.1161. Call them if you're having problems.
