Enhancing Productivity: A Comprehensive Review of Office 2011 for Mac

Office 2011 for Mac marks a significant upgrade from its predecessor, Office 2008, bringing back desired features and introducing new functionalities. Key changes include the return of Outlook as the default email client, replacing Entourage, and the reintroduction of VBA support for macros. The user interface has been revamped with a Ribbon system, improving accessibility and organization. Enhanced compatibility with Time Machine and Spotlight, faster operations, and better SharePoint integration make this version appealing. However, some features from Entourage are missed, and not all functionalities match Windows Outlook's capabilities.

  1. Experiences Using Office 2010 and Office 2011 (Mac)…continued… Lisa Tomalty, ISTBob Hicks, IST Donald Duff-McCracken

  2. Office 2011 A significant upgrade: • Something Old • Something New • Features that have Improved* • Features they Withdrew* *apologies for exploiting Poetic License ;-)

  3. Something Old Ironically, some of the changes are the return of desired features that had gone M.I.A. • Outlook is back as the email client, replacing Entourage. Outlook was last seen in Office 98 • Office now once again supports VBA (which disappeared in Office 2008) • Note that Macros may still be need to be tweaked to be cross platform (e.g., folder paths)

  4. Something New • The Pallets of Office 2008 are replaced with a Ribbon system, similar (but not identical) to Office 2010* • New ways of arranging items & viewing documents(Full Screen View) • Comes with: RDC, Communicator and Microsoft Document Connection *Ribbon can be deactivated, replicating 2008 look.

  5. Features that have Improved • Works much better with Time Machine & Spotlight • Faster startups and operation of tasks • Cleaned up interface • Sharepoint works much better. • Microsoft Document Connection

  6. Features they Withdrew • Entourage contained a project management tool called “Project Center”, and had Resend and Redirect commands • Must be Intel Processor and OS X 10.5+ • The installer does not automatically remove old versions of Office • Not Microsoft’s fault, but Endnote is not currently working with Word 2011

  7. Outlook 2011 “Outlook for Mac is on par with Windows Outlook with this release.” – not quite, but a good pkg. • Better than Entourage, but still has some features missing from Windows Outlook. • Uses Exchange Web Services (not Exchange-native MAPI), which has some limitations. • Cannot create server-based Rules & Blacklists • No notice when recipient is out of office.

  8. Outlook = Mailtourage • Looks like cross between Mail.app & Entourage Mail.app Entourage Oulook

  9. Office 2011… • A great upgrade, two thumbs up. • Office 2008 users will find it an easy migrate (not like the move to 2007) • The return of Outlook, a great Exchange Client • VBA returns for Macro-heads • Needs Intel and OS X 10.5+
