It’s been just about a year since Microsoft released Office for Mac 2011<\/a>, and many of you have made the switch from previous versions.\u00a0 As is usually the case with a major software update, the latest release of Microsoft’s flagship productivity suite for OS X brings both good and bad news for end-users.<\/p>\n

On the plus side, Office 2011 incorporates many new features that have long been standard on the PC editions, but heretofore unavailable for Macs (Entourage is dead, long live Outlook for Mac, huzzah!<\/em>).<\/p>\n

However, the retooled user interface and expanded feature set of Office 2011 for Mac can easily frustrate end-users forced to adapt to new workflows outside of their comfort zones.\u00a0 So we really have to applaud Microsoft for putting together a top-notch how-to site<\/a> for Office for Mac 2011, where you can find quick start guides, tutorials and training videos — and there’s a sub-site for each of the core applications in Office, where you can find learning roadmaps and even command references!<\/p>\n

Word for Mac 2011<\/a>
\nPowerPoint for Mac 2011<\/a>
\nExcel for Mac 2011<\/a>
\nOutlook for Mac 2011<\/a><\/p>\n

If you’re struggling with Office for Mac 2011, or have been hesitant to upgrade (change is scary, we know), we highly recommend you check Microsoft’s support site out.\u00a0 And don’t forget, Island Technologies’ friendly IT Support staff<\/a> is always available to help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
