The Formatting Palette, which was prevalent in previous versions and gave users access to varied quick formatting controls is all but gone as everything users might need can be found on the ribbon. For some users, however, the logic and grouping of these subsets is a challenge to figure out. The ribbon is a mixed bag it does put more options forward rather than hiding them away buried in menus, drop-downs and right-clicks. The ribbon interface, which has become the cornerstone of the Office look and feel on the PC since 2007, is now fully integrated and on the Mac version. The result is an intuitive layout that’s easier to learn and use. ![]() Large icons have been somewhat de-emphasized in favour of more integrated controls and more consistent labels that tell you what all those icons long menus and drop-downs can do from the outset. The overall look and feel of Office 2011 is more serious and grown up than the bubbly, almost cartoonish look and feel of the older Office suites. Overview: What’s changed, main features of Office 2011 We can’t think of any other software that does this.

Office for the Mac 2011 (SRP of $129.99 for the Home and Student Edition and $247.99 for Home and Business) also interfaces with Microsoft’s growing cloud computing initiative and works directly with Windows Live SkyDrive and Live Office apps allowing for greater collaboration and document sharing options. You experience increased speeds when saving files, running searches as well as scrolling though spreadsheets. PowerPoint 2008 takes around 15 seconds compared to the newer version’s 5-second start up, the same goes for Word where the newer version simply leaves the previous one in the dust. The older Excel 2008 spreadsheet application, for example, takes around 18 seconds to start up while the 2011 version gets up and running within 4 seconds. The first thing we noticed was how much faster each of the applications in the Office suite have become. We review each application on the new Office 2011 for the Mac.
