Office 2011 for Mac is out in beta 6 version. Believe me Microsoft has polished it too much. Its no more the old irritating office 2008. It resembles the Windows 2010 version with some differences. However, the new features resemble iWork more than office 2010. It looks clean and tidy now with its new logos. The startup time has been significantly reduced. It now opens in a wink of eyelashes.
Some of the new features include 'choose from template option' at startup which is a true copy of iWork. Other features include :
- Full screen editing : copied from Mac
- Hanging toolbox with reduces features : only paragraph styles, scrapbook etc.
- Smooth object movement across the page due to higher movement resolution
They have also tried to integrate calendar etc. with the word which is again very similar in look and feel to iCal although not even a millionth time as good as iCal.
Beg, borrow or steal, this update from Microsoft will surely improve people's opinion about Mac and make their PC to Mac transition quite smooth.
