With version 15.25, Office for Mac transitioned from 32-bit to 64-bit by default. 20 Users that require a 32-bit version for compatibility reasons will be able to download the 15.25 version as a manual, one-time update from the Microsoft Office website. 21 All versions following 15.25 will be 64-bit only. 21 Office for Mac received Touch Bar support in an update on February 16, 2017, following the launch of the 2016 MacBook Pro models. Microsoft Office 2016 is a version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite, succeeding both Office 2013 and Office for Mac 2011, and preceding Office 2019 for both platforms. It was released on macOS on July 9, 2015 and on Microsoft Windows on September 22, 2015 for Office 365 subscribers. Mainstream support ends on October 13, 2020, and most editions have extended support up to October 14, 2025. The perpetually licensed version on macOS and Windows was released on September 22, 2015. Skype for Business (formerly Microsoft Lync and Office Communicator) is enterprise instant messaging software developed by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft Office suite. It is designed for use with the on-premises Skype for Business Server software, and a software as a service version offered as part of Office 365.It supports text, audio, and video chat, and integrates with Microsoft Office. Microsoft Lync (precedentemente Microsoft Office Communicator) e Microsoft Lync for Mac sono dei client di messaggistica istantanea utilizzati con Microsoft Lync Server o con Lync Online disponibile nella suite cloud Microsoft 365.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 is a version of the Microsoft Officeproductivity suite for Mac OS X. It is the successor to Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac and is comparable to Office 2010 for Windows. Office 2011 was followed by Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac released on September 22, 2015, requiring a Mac with an x64 Intel processor and OS X Yosemite or later. Office for Mac 2011 is no longer supported as of October 10, 2017.^[4]

New features[edit]

Microsoft Office 2011 includes more robust enterprise support and greater feature parity with the Windows edition. Its interface is now more similar to Office 2007 and 2010 for Windows, with the addition of the ribbon. Support for Visual Basic for Applications macros has returned after having been dropped in Office 2008.^[5][6] Purchasing the Home Premium version of Office for Mac will not allow telephone support automatically to query any problems with the VBA interface. There are however, apparently, according to Microsoft Helpdesk, some third party applications that can address problems with the VBA interface with Office for Mac.^{[citation needed]} In addition, Office 2011 supports online collaboration tools such as OneDrive and Office Web Apps, allowing Mac and Windows users to simultaneously edit documents over the web. It also includes limited support for Apple's high-density Retina Displays, allowing the display of sharp text and images, although most icons within applications themselves are not optimized for this.

A new version of Microsoft Outlook, written using Mac OS X's Cocoa API, returns to the Mac for the first time since 2001 and has full support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.^[7] It replaces Entourage, which was included in Office 2001, X, 2004 and 2008 for Mac.^[8]

Limitations[edit]

Office for Mac 2011 has a number of limitations compared to Office 2010 for Windows. It does not support ActiveX controls,^[9] or OpenDocument Format.^[10][11] It also cannot handle attachments in Rich Text Format e-mail messages sent from Outlook for Windows, which are delivered as winmail.dat attachments.^{[citation needed]} It also has several human language limitations, such as lack of support for right-to-left languages such as Arabic, Persian, and Hebrew ^[12] and automatic language detection. ^[13]

Microsoft does not support CalDAV and CardDAV in Outlook, so there is no way to sync directly Outlook through iCloud. Outlook also does not allow the user to disable Cached Exchange Mode, unlike the Windows version, and it is therefore not possible to connect to an Exchange Server without downloading a local cache of mail and calendar data. ^[14]

Additionally, Office for Mac 2011 also has a shorter lifecycle than Office 2010. Support for Office for Mac 2011 was originally slated to end on January 12, 2016, but because Office for Mac 2016 did not come out until July 2015, Microsoft extended support until October 10, 2017. ^[15] As 32-bit software, it will not run on macOS High Sierra or later versions of macOS.^[16][17]

Editions[edit]

Two editions are available to the general public. Home & Student provides Word, Excel and PowerPoint, while Home & Business adds Outlook and increased support.^[18]Microsoft Messenger 8 is included with both editions, and Microsoft Communicator for Mac 2011, which communicates with Microsoft Lync Server, is available only to volume licensing customers.^[19] Office 2011 requires an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.^[20]

The Home & Student edition is available in a single license for one computer and a family pack for three computers. The Home & Business edition is available in a single license for one computer and a multi-pack for two computers. The Standard edition is only available through Volume Licensing.^[21] The Academic edition was created for higher education students, staff and faculty, and includes one installation.^[22] Office for Mac is also available as part of Microsoft's Office 365 subscription programme.

Development[edit]

Microsoft announced Office 2011 in 2009.^[23] There were 6 beta versions released:

• Beta 1
• Beta 2 (Version 14.0.0, Build 100326)
• Beta 3 (Build 100519)—announced on May 25, 2010^[24]
• Beta 4 (Build 100526)
• Beta 5 (Build 100709)
• Beta 6 (Build 100802)

Access to beta versions was by invitation only,^[25] although leaked copies were circulated among Mac file sharing websites.^[26] Save as pdf mac.

The final version was released to manufacturing on September 10, 2010,^[27] was available to volume license customers a day later,^[28] and made available to the general public on October 26, 2010.^[29] Service Pack 1 was released on April 12, 2011.^[30]

Microsoft Office 2001 is a suite of productivity software for Mac OS 8, Mac OS 9, or the Classic environment in Mac OS X. It is the Mac equivalent of Office 2000. It was developed by Microsoft and announced on September 13, 2000^[1] before its release on October 11, 2000.^[4]

Applications[edit]

As with previous versions of Microsoft Office, Office 2001 includes Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. It also includes, for the first time, Entourage,^[5] a personal information manager that features an e-mail client, a calendar, an address book, task lists and personal notes.

New features[edit]

Word[edit]

Dictionary

The dictionary gives definitions for words in a document. This is different from previous versions of the dictionary which only gave the spelling of words.^[6]

Word count

A live word count is included which automatically displays the number of words written as they are typed. This is in contrast with previous version of Word in which Word Count had to be manually selected from a menu.^[6]

Click and type

Microsoft Office 2001 made it possible to double-click anywhere on the page and begin typing there. In previous versions of Word, the only way to begin typing in the middle of a blank line would be to press tab or space button until the cursor arrived at the desired location.^[6]

PowerPoint[edit]

Bullet points and numbering

Bullet points in PowerPoint presentations can now be more than just dots. There are several small graphics to choose from to replace the standard bullet point. Also, numbered lists can now enumerate themselves even if they are rearranged into a different order or extra items are added.^[6]

QuickTime

With Office 2001 it is possible to save PowerPoint presentations in QuickTime File Format. A QuickTime slideshow works just like an ordinary slideshow and can be opened and edited in PowerPoint.^[6]

Excel[edit]

List manager

The list manager and list wizard automate tasks that involve sorting and summarizing list data.^[6]

Formula calculator

This virtual calculator provides a simple way to create formulas for cells throughout the Excel spreadsheet.^[6]

Autocomplete

Excel can predict a word or phrase that the user wants to type in without the user actually typing it in completely.^[6]

Other improvements

• Euro can now be used as a currency^[6]
• Font menu shows each font in their respective font^[6]
• Highlighting colored cells no longer inverts the color^[6]

Entourage[edit]

Office 2001 was the first time Entourage was released. It features a calendar, to-do list, email and address book all into one. Entourage also lets users transfer all of their information from these features onto corresponding applications on a Palm device.^[6]

Value Pack[edit]

The Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac Value Pack contains several features that give Microsoft Office 2001 more functionality. All of these optional are available for install straight from the Office 2001 CD.^[7]

Assistants

By default there is already an Office Assistant installed with Microsoft Office 2001. With the Value Pack there are many more selectable office assistants available. Users are then able select an Office Assistant that matches their personality and the way in which they work.^[7]

Clip art

Additional clip art files, GIFs, background textures, and movies can be installed with the Value Pack. These new visuals can be added to Microsoft Office documents as well as presentations and are accessible through the Microsoft Office 2001: Clip Art Folder.^[7]

Equation Editor

Equation Editor allows for mathematical equations to be included in Excel, Word and PowerPoint. Mathematical symbols appear in a toolbar at the top of the screen and the user can combine these along with numbers and/or variables to create complex equations and mathematical statements.^[7]

Microsoft Office For Mac Wiki

Set Language add-in

Set Language add-In was a feature that only affected Excel. This new feature allowed users to check for correct grammar and spelling with more than one language at a time.^[7]

Genigraphics Wizard

Makes it possible to have PowerPoint presentations made into real slides, or transparencies, among other printed media. This wizard facilitates the process of sending PowerPoint presentations to Genigraphics who will create the product that you want.^[7]

Microsoft Query

Collects data from outside sources and brings it together in an Excel document. This is meant to save time that would otherwise be spent manually copying data over from one place to another by having it automatically be analyzed in Excel. It is also possible to set up Query so that if the original source of data is updated, the Excel document will also be updated accordingly. However, to take full advantage of this new feature, the download of separate ODBC drivers is required because Query can not access the outside source's data without them.^[7]

Microsoft Works 4.0 converter

This converter allows Microsoft Works 4.0 word-processing documents to be opened using Microsoft Word.^[7]

Proofing tools

Value Pack also includes proofing tools for different languages that are not included in the original install if 'Easy Install' was chosen during the original installation process. These optional proofing tools include hyphenation, dictionary and thesaurus files for the following languages: Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Spanish and Swedish.^[7]

Templates

Several new templates are included in the Value Pack for Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This added variety of templates makes it easier to create a good-looking document or presentation without as much effort as creating a template from scratch.^[7]

Unbinder

Binders are groups of files that could be created using Microsoft Office on a Windows PC. However, these Binders could not be edited using a Macintosh computer which is why the Unbinder is needed. With the Unbinder, the Binders could be taken apart and the files could be worked on separately.^[7]

Word 97-2001 converter

The Microsoft 97-2001 Converter made it possible for users of Microsoft Word 6.0 to open documents that were made in newer versions of Microsoft Word. Before this, Word could only open documents that were in an equal or older format. This converter makes it possible to open and edit files created using Microsoft Word 98 or later on a Mac with only Word 6.0 installed.^[7]

Word Perfect 5 converter

The Word Perfect 5 Converter allows for users to use Microsoft Word 2001 to open and save WordPerfect 5.0 and 5.1 files which is something that was not previously possible.^[7]

Updates[edit]

On October 12, 2004 Microsoft published the Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac Security Update (9.0.5). This update addresses security and stability issues with Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Entourage. The download is offered both as a .bin file and as a .hqx file.^[8]

Microsoft Office 2001 for Mac Security Update (9.0.6) was released on July 20, 2005. Microsoft's description of this downloadable update says that it 'addresses several buffer overrun vulnerabilities in all Microsoft Office 2001 programs.' This update also fixes a problem that was occurring which affected the use of Japanese characters in Microsoft Excel. Once again this update was offered in the form of two different file types, .bin and .hqx.^[9]

On January 1, 2001 Microsoft released a document highlighting keyboard shortcuts specifically for Microsoft Excel 2001.^[10]

Support for Office 2001 ended on December 31, 2005.

Support for Office 2001 ended on December 31, 2005.

Bugs[edit]

Occasionally Office 2001 will report a 'disk is full' error while saving a Word document, even if the hard drive is not actually full. This is caused by saving a document too frequently and the computer running out of the temporary space needed to save the file. The problem can be solved by restarting Word or restarting the Mac altogether.^[6]

Reception[edit]

When Steve Jobs announced Office 2001 at the Apple Paris Expo on September 13, 2000, the crowd booed in a manner similar to how Internet Explorer for Mac was booed. Jobs reassured the crowd by saying: 'Isn't it great that the Mac is going to have the best version of Office?' The software was then demonstrated by Kevin Browne, the general manager of the Mac BU at the time, in a French user interface. Entourage 2001 was the first program shown, to which the crowd applauded upon hearing that it along with its unique features were only available for the Mac. Word 2001 and PowerPoint 2001 were also demonstrated to positive crowd reactions. Excel 2001 was not demonstrated.^[1]
