Less overtly obvious if you have a recent, and thus powerful, Mac is the speed boost the latest Office offers over its predecessor. These are pretty much limited to rotating, resizing and adjusting the colour cast of your pictures, but it should mean you won’t have to jump into a dedicated program to tweak your photos quite as often, which is a useful time saver.
Word, Powerpoint, and Excel also offer limited editing options when importing images. As well as browsing using folders, as previously, it’s now also possible to import media using Places, Faces and other ‘tags’ provided by Apple’s applications. On the subject of galleries, Office for Mac 2011 features a much improved media browser, which integrates much more fully with other OS X, most notably with iLife. If you’ve used iWork this will seem oddly familiar, but we’re not going to complain when Microsoft choses to take inspiration from good features of rival products. Some of these are very impressive even this early into the suites lifetime (thanks to the prolonged Beta period no doubt). Shown on start-up by default (but not if you tell it not to) this gives you not only a huge range of build-in template options, from calendars, to invoices, to curriculums vitae, but also provides an online portal where user-submitted templates can be found. New to PowerPoint, Excel and Word is the Templates Gallery.

It’s worth mentioning, too, that the Ribbon’s appearance of Office for Mac makes life easier if you transition between Windows and OS X frequently (as some of us blasphemously do). Whether you’re in Word, Excel or PowerPoint you’ll find the options relating to inserting and formatting charts logically placed under the Charts tab, for example. The Ribbon also makes for an improved feeling of consistency across all the Office applications. Left enabled as intended, however, the Ribbon does every bit as good a job of giving quick easy and context-sensitive access to the tools you’re likely to need at any given moment. In a concession to the knowledge that some users can’t or won’t adjust to what is, to put it bluntly, a much easier and faster way of working with your documents, this can be turned off. The most obvious change you’ll notice in all Office for Mac 2011 programs is the introduction of the Ribbon interface. So just what’s so fantastic about this latest version of Office? The following pages are the place to find out. Home and Student, and Home and Business also come in two-user and three-user versions, priced at 109.99 and 239.99 respectively.Īs we know, more important than the price is what Office for Mac 2011 has to offer for it. Those able to get along without an extra email client on their Macs can grab Home and Student for £89.99 with Home and Business adding Outlook for a heftier £189.99. The least appealing aspect of Office is the pricing, which is significantly more than the £50ish for which iWork can be picked up. Not only are there numerous improvements imported from Office 2010, but there are even some Mac-exclusive enhancements, not to mention some excellent integration with not only OS X itself but also a number of Apple’s own applications that give Office for Mac 2011 an appeal that’s hard to resist. Others are as significant as the finally realised dream of many an Office for Mac user: the death of Entourage and its replacement with a Mac version of Outlook.īig and small alike, these changes all combine to create what is without a doubt the slickest version of Office we’ve ever had the pleasure of using. Some of the changes are as minor as a new set of icons and snazzier splash screens as applications load. Then again, when we’ve already seen Office 2010 for Windows prove just how good an office application suite Microsoft can produce when it puts its mind to it, we’d have been surprised if Office for Mac 2011 wasn’t a resounding success. It’s almost hard to believe just how much improvement Microsoft has made with the latest version of Office, bearing in mind that the previous version was a massive step forwards in and of itself.

If iWork ’09 was a shot across the bows of Office for Mac 2008, Office for Mac 2011 is a full salvo aimed right at the waterline of the USS iWork ’09. Microsoft certainly isn’t letting Apple have it easy.
