Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Microsoft Office v. X is a fully native program designed specifically for Mac OS X that harnesses the power of Office, the simplicity of Macintosh, and the stability of Unix. Office v. X has been completely redesigned with a fresh new Aqua interface. It supports all Mac OS X features and technologies, and has Mac-only features like the Formatting Palette, Microsoft Word Data Merge Manager, Microsoft Excel List Manager, and Microsoft PowerPoint Movies. Office v. X includes Microsoft Word X, Excel X, PowerPoint X, and Entourage X, for the Mac.

The modern user interface within Office v. X has been completely redesigned to include a bold new Aqua visual appearance--a perfect representation of what an application running on the new Mac OS X should look and feel like. Communication is a snap. E-mail is made even easier in Entourage X by allowing connections to Microsoft Exchange servers, Hotmail, and Mac.com, so users can more efficiently manage e-mail online and off. With the integrated and improved Entourage calendar, you can easily organize your schedule and set reminders for important events and projects.

Office v. X is compatible with Office 2001 for Mac, Office 98 Macintosh Edition, Office for Microsoft Windows, AppleWorks 6, and FileMaker Pro 5.5., so you can share files with anyone, whether they use a Mac or a PC. Keep track of contacts with the comprehensive address book, which stores all of your contact information and lets you locate an address on a map or find driving directions from Expedia.com. Improved task reporting, calendar functions, and international time zone adjustments make time management even easier. Easily access customizable templates for résumés, catalogs, newsletters, calendars, and more from the Project Gallery. The Clip Art Gallery, including hundreds of images, provides tools to make working with graphics quick and easy.

Note to users attempting to install Office v. x for Mac on new Apple hardware systems: Customers that have the Office v. X Test Drive Installed when attempting to install Office v. X may experience installation failure. The Test Drive is currently pre-installed on the PowerBook 12- and 17-inch models, as well as the 15- and 17-inch LCD iMacs. To facilitate successful installation, it will be necessary to remove the Test Drive by quitting any Microsoft Office applications and running the Remove Test Drive application located in /Applications/Microsoft Office X/Remove Test Drive. For more information on the Test Drive and its effect on your new Mac PC, please visit the Mactopia website at www.microsoft.com/mac.

Great if you have a Mac OSx computer, since nothing seems to work with them. however, this one does and it worked perfectly fine with me.

I previously used iWorks which was ok. I have more experience with MS Office so when I purchased my new MacBook Pro, I decided to buy this as well. I am very happy with this product and it was easy to install. Easy to use programs, too. Highly recommend this to anyone with a Mac OS X.
