Questions about Microsoft Office for Mac (including Excel, Word, Outlook etc) are on-topic both here (tag ms-office
) and at http://superuser.com - but where's the best place to ask them?
In my experience, there aren't so many people interested in MS software here (ms-office
tag appears to have 10 followers at the moment), but, superuser has very few Mac users. I'd say I've generally had more luck here in the past, but it's close.
Generally, on both sites, these questions get very few views at first, but then a steady flow of search engine traffic - I think on both sites, I've asked an Office for Mac question, got tumbleweed
for it, then later on got popular question
and notable question
badges for the same question.
In the past, where I've had questions that slip between the cracks, I've asked at one site, then, if it goes full-on tumbleweed, I've asked for it to be migrated to the other.
Is this the best approach? Where would you recommend asking first? Should anything be considered e.g. any time window beyond which questions can't be migrated?
