This review will cover all except the last, which is available separately for free and is not a crucial component of the Office suite. As I mentioned above, one of the main questions for anyone working on the Macintosh platform is how easily they can interoperate with colleagues or clients using the dominant Windows platform. For several years, compatibility problems between the two platforms have been shrinking — in part because of direct efforts by both Apple and Microsoft to incorporate cross-platform capabilities into their respective operating systems, and in part because of the growing influence of open standards and of the world wide web.
For example, it now makes very little difference whether one uses a Mac or a PC to browse the web, interact with XML data, write email, etc. But what happens when a colleague sends you a PowerPoint presentation, or a client wants to send you emails as Word attachments?
And if you develop your own practice website, what happens when you develop pages on the Mac — will they displya properly on PCs? With this latest iteration of its Office suite, Microsoft has made it easier than ever before to accommodate documents created under Windows, as well as to check whether documents created on the Mac will be fully supported by the older version of Office currently running on Windows. A new automated compatibility checking tool will do the job for you, going through a document and flagging anything that could create a problem for Windows users — along with recommended solutions.
I occasionally receive Word or RTF attachments from my online counselling clients, and all these have opened without a hitch. If I am really taking notes, for example, I am usually working extremely quickly, struggling to keep up with something that is being spoken in real time, and I certainly do not have time to wander off and flag a task for myself to complete by some specified date. This revision introduces major advances in change tracking and even offers some degree of integration with MSN Messenger.
Finally, Word also incorporates a reference tool panel which offers a nice improvement over the old dictionary and thesaurus functions — plus a one-click direct link to the online Encarta encyclopedia.
Microsoft has also integrated MSN internet search into the panel, although I believe most web users would agree that Microsoft is some distance behind search leaders Google and Yahoo in terms of search quality. Overall, my personal experience of Microsoft Word has been extremely positive. I wrote my first book primarily in Word 6, and it was the bane of my existence.
For this reason, it is not compatible with Mac OS X Office was replaced by its successor, Microsoft Office for Mac, which was developed as a universal binary to run natively on Intel Macs. However, Office did not include support for Visual Basic for Applications, which made Microsoft extend the support period by an additional 27 months for their older Office As of January 10, , support for Office for Mac has ended: no further updates or support will be provided from Microsoft.
The Student and Teacher Edition cannot be upgraded, which means when a later version of Office is released, people who purchased the Student and Teacher edition must buy a new package. Microsoft Word is a word processor which possesses a dominant market share in the word processor market.
DOCX, but has the capability of saving and opening the old. DOC format. IOW, you cannot apply an Office update if Office isn't installed. Having upgraded your OS you need to upgrade your software accordingly.
