It's probably worth checking out the "What's New" page at the Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 website to see more.Īs someone who's only been in the OS X environment for four months, it's tough for me to tell you what kind of improvements this version of Office has over previous ones. These are just some of the new features that make up Office for Mac 2011. PowerPoint has the ability to broadcast a slide show which is something that can be extremely handy in an office environment. Co-authoring gives you and others the ability to create, edit and add audio or video in real time. Other features to Office for Mac 2011 include Office Web Apps which offers Windows Live SkyDrive which gives you the ability to work from virtually anywhere. With that said, H&S does also offer Tech Support, but only 90 days.Įverything was so different to when I last used PowerPoint, while at the same time being the same because the menu system is like that of the other programs which are like that of Office 2010 for Windows, which I've been using since launch.

The second is that it carries 12 months of Tech Support. The first is that the H&B version carries with it a copy of Microsoft's e-mail program, Outlook.

Both are near identical with only two changes that really separate them. There are two versions off Office for Mac 2011 the first is Home & Student while the second is Home & Business. Quite a big deal was being made for Office for Mac 2011 and as a happy Office 2010 for Windows user, I was looking forward to checking out the Mac version. Getting my head around OS X wasn't easy and then diving into the programs needed to do my everyday stuff was another task that had to be learnt. Three years ago I would've been the first person to do the same to anything but the iPhone 12 months ago the same for anything but an iPad or iPhone, and four months ago Apple has really taken over my life with the introduction of my 11-inch MacBook Air. Five years ago I would've been the first person to sling mud at an Apple related product.
