More About Office
Office 2007 for Windows and Office 2008 for Mac both present significant upgrages to the Microsoft Office family. Both versions feature sleek new interfaces and powerful new features that make getting more done easier than ever before. While the new software presents a definite learning curve for users making the transition, OIT feels it is well worth the effort.
Key Advantages
Office 2007 for Windows:
- The Ribbon replaces conventional menu based commands, grouping common tasks and presenting them with fewer mouse clicks and less navigation
- Contextual Tabs present options related to only the task being performed and appear when necessary
- Live Preview delivers a demonstration of what particular formatting choices will look like without tedious trial and error
Office 2008 for Mac:
- The fastest Office for modern Macs as it was written to run natively on Intel processors instead of in emulation, which slowed Office 2004 considerably
- More refined interface that embraces the current Mac OS X styles like simple, unified menu bars
- Support for Open XML formats (including .docx, .xlsx and .pptx)
