Work with Tools That Work Like You
The new features in Microsoft
Office 2004 for Mac aren't constrained by boundaries--in fact, many of them are
designed to give you access to your ideas and information from every program in
the suite. Thanks to input from thousands of Mac users, Office 2004 contains
tools that are more integrated and intuitive than ever. The new Project Center
allows you to consolidate all of your project-related details and easily access
them from Word, Excel, Entourage, and PowerPoint 2004. Quickly view all of your
project-related e-mail messages, files, notes, contacts and schedules in one
convenient place. Plus, the new Project Gallery lets you quickly find the
documents you've worked on recently while offering the new Learn tab to find
instructive sample documents. Meanwhile, the new Compatibility Report tool helps
you resolve platform- and version-related compatibility issues before they
arise. The tool identifies potential compatibility issues and offers ways to
avoid them. Lastly, the Office Toolbox lets you quickly access compatibility
Reports, your Scrapbook and the Project Palette from Word, Excel or PowerPoint
2004.
Word 2004
Express your ideas with more brilliance and clarity using
the innovative new tools in Microsoft Word 2004 for Mac. The gold standard in
word processing works harder than ever for you with improved reference tools,
dynamic reviewing capabilities and enhanced views for organizing your thoughts.
The new notebook layout view allows you to type right onto ruled notebook
"paper." Manage different sections with tabs and quickly search for key ideas
using this new view. Plus, with the improved track changes system in Word 2004,
you can view changes in comment balloons next to your text, quickly identify the
reviewer with color-coded comments and initiate instant message conversations
about comments with MSN Messenger for Mac. Access a dictionary, a thesaurus and
a link to the Microsoft Encarta online encyclopedia right from the Office
Toolbox, or quickly scan and navigate through your document with the improved
document map and thumbnail view.
Excel 2004
Organize, analyze and present your data with precision
and panache. The new tools in Microsoft Excel 2004 for Mac give you more control
over your spreadsheets, and the enhanced charting tools give you more dynamic
ways to display your information. The new page layout view lets you review and
manipulate on screen what will appear on paper. Now you can easily scale your
data to fit the right number of pages, and insert headers and footers by simply
double-clicking in the document. Meanwhile, punch up your numbers with vibrant
new color schemes. Use the Formatting Palette to quickly update your chart type,
options, data, colors, weights, fills and special effects. Smart buttons let you
instantly track down and fix spreadsheet formula errors, control how the
AutoFill feature applies formatting to your data, and more. And editing and
functioning improvements mean that you can view the correct syntax for more than
140 functions to ensure that calculations work every time. You can also now
simply click and drag to change ranges with the updated Range Finder. Lastly XML
file support is integrated in Excel 2004, so you can share complex data with
ease.
Powerpoint 2004
Incorporate rich movies, animations and transitions
into your presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint 2004 for Mac. Keep the show
running like a pro with features such as the on-screen timer, notes, navigation
and more. New presenter tools help you keep your presentation well timed, and
make adjustments on the fly as you respond to your audience with the tools in
the presenter's view window. You can also experiment with new 3D transitions and
vivid custom animations to make your presentations richer and more dynamic.
Choose from more that 100 new design templates and quickly set font spacing,
size and transparency with the new Format Font dialog box. Plus, the expanded
clip gallery helps you get creative with updated illustrations and new clip art.
Entourage 2004
If your day revolves around connections and ideas,
use Microsoft Entourage 2004 for Mac to pull it all together. Consolidate your
e-mail, contacts, calendar, notes and project details in one easy-to-access
place. The new three column view option lets you blaze through your inbox with
new features such as the preview pane, message threading and improved junk
e-mail protection. With new Message Grouping you can easily group, view and
search for messages based on project, sender, date or other criteria. Calendar
printing has been improved, too and now you can experience more flexibility and
control over calendar formatting and printing options. Meanwhile, managing
accounts and contacts has never been easier: Access messages and contacts from
multiple e-mail accounts and take advantage of integration with MSN Messenger
for Mac version 4.0. And now, for the first time ever, Entourage features
Exchange server support, so you can easily integrate Macs with an Exchange email
system. Another great feature, archiving, allows you to export personal
information manager (PIM) data--such as e-mail messages, contacts or
schedules--into an Entourage archive package to keep your PIM database clean and
secure.
