Microsoft Office v. X for Mac Standard Edition Upgrade

Microsoft Office v. X for Mac Standard Edition Upgrade Options

Office v. X for Mac combines the power of word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, e-mail and personal information manager (PIM) programs with the stability and reliability of Mac OS X. The suite has been designed with core Mac OS X technologies, including Aqua, Sheets and Quartz, built directly into the product. New feature enhancements also have been made to Entourage X, the e-mail application, and PIM, as well as to Word X, Excel X and PowerPoint X. Each of the applications in Office v. X includes a bold and classy new Aqua appearance that is in keeping with the Mac OS X user interface. All the components of the Office v. X user interface - from dialog boxes to toolbar icons - have been Aquified, offering a smoother and cleaner appearance as well as enhanced discoverability. Sheets have replaced select dialog boxes and alerts in Office v. X, enabling users to multitask within or between applications. When a user clicks to save a Word document, for instance, a Sheet appears in place of a dialog box. The user can choose to open a different Word document or continue working in another application, without having to complete the save first. Quartz 2-D Drawing technology in Office v. X makes it easy to create graphically rich and compelling documents that look truly professional. It allows users to add anti-aliased lines and shapes to give documents a smooth and finished appearance. Quartz also enables true transparency, so shapes, objects and pictures can be layered to reveal items behind them. In addition to Mac OS X technologies built into Office v. X, the suite delivers features that enable users to complete projects faster and more easily than ever before. As the cornerstone of Office v. X, Entourage X boasts a refined, easier-to-use interface, improved support for Internet standards, and several new features to help users manage e-mail and personal information. Other new features in Office v. X include Multi-Selection and Clear Formatting in Word X, AutoRecover and Customizable Keyboard Shortcuts in Excel X, PowerPoint Packages in PowerPoint X, as well as many more improvements.
