Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac is the Mac OS X version of its Office 2007 products. It contains the Macintosh editions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Entourage, and Messenger. The Home and Student Edition is the same as the full version of Office 2008, except minus the Exchange and Automator support that comes with the regular version of Entourage and is for non-commercial use only.
Special Media Edition will come with all of the above, plus Microsoft Expression Media - a digital asset management suite that will help users import, annotate, organize, archive, search, and distribute their media files.
Some of the features of Office 2008 are:
- Office 2008 runs natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs.
- It natively supports the Open XML file formats for compatibility with Windows-based 2007 Microsoft Office products.
- Backward-compatible with earlier file formats and users can continue to use the older .doc, .xls, and .ppt binary formats.
- Includes OfficeArt, the powerful graphics engine also used in the Windows-based Office 2007 products, which allows cross-platform file fidelity and easy access to visual and graphic effects.
- Include SmartArt graphics, which makes transforming text and bulleted lists into professional diagrams and graphics one-click easy.
- My Day keeps you connected to all of the day's action. Command your calendar, tackle your tasks, and simplify your day.
- A new Themes capability simplifies the process of applying a consistent look and feel across documents. Easily apply a complete set of colors, fonts, and effects to your Office 2008 documents, and change them as easily as changing your mind.
