MICROSOFT OFFICE MAC 2011 STANDARD

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 Standard - more user-friendly than before

Microsoft Office is also an indispensable component for daily work on many Mac computers. With the release of this edition for Mac users, in addition to the improved compatibility of macOS with Windows for practical collaboration, the focus is therefore on general user-friendliness as well as the addition of such functions that make it easier to use the Office programs online as well.

Mac users can now take advantage of all the benefits offered by the classic Office programs Word, Excel and PowerPoint: to create professional documents in formats frequently used both professionally and privately, to quickly format and analyze extensive data, as well as to display and share informative presentations, even on the web.

A brand new addition to Office for Mac is Outlook, which, with its many practical tools for organizing e-mail traffic as well as contacts and coordinating appointments, offers significant advantages over the previously included Entourage.

Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac in the edition Standard is available in the Wiresoft Software Shop as a low-priced single license for purchase with immediate download. Below is an overview of the full range of benefits that Office 2011 for Mac offers its users.

General innovations of Office for Mac 2011 Standard

Visually, this version of Office for Mac has a new look compared to the previous version, adopting the typical Windows ribbon look, more on that below. In addition, there are a number of optimizations and advantages that make working with Office for Mac 2011 even more efficient and practical:

Ribbon display now also in Office for Mac

The typical ribbon, also known as the ribbon bar, familiar to Windows users, is now also available on the Mac with this Office version. Typical functions are sorted thematically in individual bars or ribbons and are accessible via different tabs. Depending on the current activity in a program document, the user is shown a thematically appropriate selection of tools and functions for editing, for example for formatting Word texts or editing images in a PowerPoint presentation.

The advantage of the ribbon look is that suitable functions are now directly accessible and the user no longer has to search for them in various submenus.

In addition, the ribbons can also be customized.

However, those who still want to use the familiar user interface from the previous version can also hide the ribbon view and access the desired functions via the classic menu, which is still available.

Integrated photo editing functions in Word, Excel and PowerPoint

The editing of images and graphics has been significantly simplified in Word, Excel and PowerPoint with new functions as well as otherwise improved. To insert an image into a document, it is now sufficient to simply drag it with the mouse from the desktop or from a folder to the relevant location. The size can then be precisely adjusted or the format cropped. Additional functions are available for adjusting color tones and saturation or adding various effects and filters. It is also possible to adjust the degree of transparency. This makes it possible, for example, to use a photo as a full-page background illustration.

In the course of this, the creation of graphics has also been improved. For this purpose, the so-called SmartArts contain a number of graphic elements with which, for example, hierarchy diagrams or process flows in Excel can be visualized according to one's own needs.

Extended template catalog

Microsoft has also significantly expanded the portfolio of templates for the Word, Excel and PowerPoint programs in the 2011 Mac version. Choosing a suitable template is made easier by the fact that the first page of each is displayed in the format overview. As soon as you move the mouse over a particular template, all the other pages are also displayed one after the other.

Visual Basic available again with Office 2011 for Mac

In Office 2011, support for Visual Basic, the powerful scripting language, returns for the Mac. This allows XML-based document formats to be created while preserving the VBA macro code. VBA on the Mac especially offers the ability for Office applications such as Excel, Word, Access, etc. to use recurring tasks in an automated manner by programming them appropriately via macros.

Using MS Web Apps on the Mac

In the Office package for Mac, Microsoft has linked the various programs with the Web Apps. Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents can thus be edited online in the browser, regardless of the locally installed Office version or the respective operating system. A prerequisite is free registration with Windows Live Services.

Improved collaboration on documents

When multiple users collaborate on the same document in Word and PowerPoint, the program locks the paragraphs that a particular user is currently working on for other collaborators. This prevents the creation of multiple versions of the same document. At the same time, users can always see who is currently making which changes.

Microsoft Messenger

Microsoft Messenger is also integrated into Office for Mac 2011. This allows users to communicate directly with colleagues without having to use the external chat functions. Messenger also offers revised audio and video transmission.

Optimizations to the individual Office applications for Mac 2011

In addition to these general additions and improvements to the Office suite for Mac 2011, the standard applications also have quite a bit to offer:

New tools in Word 2011

In addition to new templates, a number of newly integrated view options in particular make working with Word even more practical:

• "Publishing Layout" is used exclusively for the layout of a Word document, where the format and position of text and graphics can be changed without being able to edit the text itself. This prevents accidental changes to the text.
• The "Notepad" view is used for instant note-taking of keywords, while voice notes can also be integrated.
• The "Full Screen" mode allows improved concentration on the document content by hiding all editing functions.
• As soon as the mouse pointer is moved to the top of the screen, the program briefly displays a toolbar with the most important formatting functions.

Optimizations in Excel 2011 for Mac

Excel for Mac 2011 now includes features that were previously only available in the Windows version. This also enables a better exchange of data between both operating systems. These new features deserve special mention:

• Pivot tables can now be created more easily in Excel for Mac than before.
• Sparklines - small word graphics - make tables clearer; they can be placed as small diagrams directly in a single field, for example, to quickly visualize the result of a calculation there.
• Nested functions can be created with the formula generator using the if-function. A maximum of seven nested if-conditions are possible with it.

PowerPoint 2011 for Mac

PowerPoint presentations can be designed even more practical as well as realized with the Mac version 2011. The following functions are newly integrated:

• With the "Broadcast" function, presentations can be held live over the Internet. Participants receive a web link and can follow the presentation on any device after logging in. As usual, the presenter has control over the course of the presentation.
• In the "Presenter" view, the presenter sees on his screen not only the current slide but also a preview of the next one, including his notes and the time.
• 3D slide transitions help keep track of what's happening by displaying each layer individually. Hidden or overlapping elements can be easily rearranged with the mouse.

Outlook available in Office Mac 2011

The new Office for Mac version now includes Outlook, which finally replaces the previous Entourage program. Outlook is used for the comprehensive management and organization of

Outlook is used for the comprehensive management and organization of e-mails and appointments and offers the same comprehensive functions as the Windows version. When switching from Windows to the Mac, all data can be imported without any problems. Outlook 2011 offers these functionalities, among others:

• Better clarity for longer e-mail correspondences: Multiple e-mails from different participants on a specific topic can also be displayed across different folders in the form of threads as coherent conversations. This means that you always have an overview of all important contributions and participants.
• Personal Store (PST) files for e-mails, tasks, notes and calendar entries can be imported from the PC to the Mac if a user wants to switch to macOS.
• Calendar previews can be conveniently displayed directly in Outlook for organizing appointments.
