Our overall impression of Office 2008 for Mac is that it’s a good product.
Although the toolbars are easier to handle in Office 2008, when active, they still take up a lot of space and make Word seem top-heavy.
My Day is a new addition to Entourage. It’s a floating, widget-like device that gives you a snapshot To Do list.
Finally, you can see a quarter of a year at a glance! Just click on a date to jump to Entourage’s Calendar function.
You can easily use multiple themes in your presentations, and you can filter the list to show only those themes that you have already used in one file.
Elements Gallery runs through all the separate parts of Office, but the tabs differ in each app. In PowerPoint, you won’t see the same tab options as in Word or Excel.
