Very expensive, LibreOffice sufficient for me
feedback_loopMay 29, 2016
- Pros
- * clean UI* functionality is pretty reliable
- Cons
- * expensive* more than I need for my office needs* ridiculous OpenDocumentFormat support (you have to upload each document to their spy-cloud in order to convert)
- Summary
- MS Office is not for me. It's expensive and has extremely poor support for non proprietary file formats like OpenDocumentFormat. LibreOffice does all I need. It's more buggy, but it's slowly evolving and becoming more reliable.
Outlook doesn't work after auto update
dcbriscoeMay 18, 2015
- Pros
- Well Word & Excel are ok (so far)
- Cons
- But Outlook is absolutely refusing to open the main window, whatever I do. I have rebuilt database, made a new identity & transferred the Data Records & rebuilt, and tried various other hacks (with reboots between each one). I've repaired permissions & done all the housekeeping and NOTHING is giving me access. Outlook knows that the data is there -- it can see my rules & mail manager settings and my accounts -- but no main window. Without that, I can't even export everything to Mail! Has anyone any ideas?
- Summary
- C**P in spades!
Would like more resume templates in Word
amandascMarch 6, 2015
- Pros
- I love this Microsoft product, it's the best ever with all its tools.Don't know I would live without.
- Cons
- I really, but really would love to have better resume templates, that are creative like those on http://www.trendyresumes.com and http://www.cvfolio.com and more templates in general.
- Summary
- Great A++ but would love to have more templates.
Good for a Microsoft Product
February 19, 2015
- Pros
- Stable, Versatile, and looks good on my dock
- Cons
- Expands PDF files to make them approx. 110 times larger, making them impossible to emailTakes long time syncing on DropboxTOOOOOOOOOOOO expensive
- Summary
- It is a good little piece of software, but it cost me a $165 to buy Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. I also had compatibility issues, because the first one I bought was supporting PowerPC applications, (which my Mac does not) so I had to get a refund and get another one. Other than that, and PDF issues, Office is a well rounded software.
WORD: Not perfect, but what is?
CWDDJanuary 14, 2015
- Pros
- This is the standard word processing program. You must use it or be unable to function with the rest of the English speaking world. There is no use complaining about something that cannot be changed.
- Cons
- There are several, but the grammar / spell checker is my pet peeve. Whoever wrote this part of the program does not know grammar. My latest complaint is that the use of possessives before gerunds is marked as an error. This is not an error. This is the way it should be. The user must know grammar, not rely on the checker. I do feel sorry for writers who do not know grammar... their products must be full of errors that may reflect badly on them. On line help is also bad. There are many problems for which there is no help.
- Summary
- I don't think Microsoft cares whether or not the product is perfect. There will be a new version next year, with another purchase required, more glitzy, and no one will fix the old ones.
Great except Outlook
August 28, 2014
- Pros
- Word, Excel and Powerpoint are good. Not as good as on PC, but good enough to get the job done.
- Cons
- Outlook is USELESS because emails sent on Mac and read on PC will randomly change your fonts and font sizes. A bug Microsoft has not been willing to solve for many years. So your emails will look like having been written by a 5 years old if viewed on PC. Avoid Outlook 2011 on Mac.
- Summary
- Good pack except for Outlook. Problem is, there is no good email client software for Mac as far as I know unless you use Gmail or very simple emails.
Not as good as the Windows version
JemicaKJune 2, 2014
- Pros
- Stable, offering more features and built-in OS X ones
- Cons
- Cut off some useful features from the Windows versionToo expensive!
- Summary
- I'd rather use Windows for document working
Useless product
BradMooreMay 1, 2014
- Pros
- Not a lot worth mentioning.
- Cons
- The product is useless for anyone working with locked documents, such as the many thousands of report writing templates in the workplace. When re-locking a document all data is lost.When saving a document to PDF a 250 KB file becomes anywhere up to 110 times larger making it impossible to email.
- Summary
- Don't buy a mac thinking thinking Office Mac 2011 will make the transition easier.
Developer's Description
By Microsoft
Improved compatibility
Share files with confidence knowing that the documents you create using Office 2011 on your Mac will look the same and work seamlessly when opened in Office for Windows.
Co-authoring allows you to save time and simplify your work by allowing you to edit the same Word document or PowerPoint presentation at the same time as others in different locations who are using Office 2011 on a Mac or Office 2010 on Windows. (Co-authoring requires Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 for enterprise use, or a free Windows Live ID for personal use, to save and access files via Windows Live SkyDrive.)
Office Web Apps allow you to get things done when and where you want, from virtually any computer with an Internet connection.
Sparklines visually summarizes your data using tiny charts that fit within a cell near its corresponding values. Microsoft Excel for Mac 2011 Sparklines is compatible with Microsoft Excel 2010.

Publishing Layout view combines a desktop publishing environment with familiar Word features, giving you a customized workspace designed to simplify complex layouts.
Visual styles provide you with consistent formatting that is easy to apply.
Picture Editing gives you tools throughout the suite to crop, recolor, remove background and compress photos within your document.
Charts and SmartArt gives you dozens of SmartArt layouts from more than 130 diagram layouts, ranging from organization charts to lists, processes and relationship diagrams.
Dynamic Reorder helps you simplify complex layouts. Get an instant, 3-D view of all layers on your Publishing Layout view page and PowerPoint presentation.
Familiar, intuitive tools
The new ribbon creates an intuitive experience for the Mac user. Familiar Office for Mac tools are still available so you can take advantage of the new ribbon without reinventing the wheel.
Template Galleries give you easy, organized access to a wide range of online and custom templates and recently opened documents.
Media Browser allows you to access your iPhoto libraries and iTunes playlists directly from the Photos and Audio tabs on the Media Browser in Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook. You can also access movies and iMovie projects right from the Movies tab.
