A review about the new Mac edition of Microsoft Office 2011 suite and its appliactions. Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 offers a solid update to the Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the other members of the productivity suite. Though the latest package is still not on par with the Windows.

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.^[3][4] 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.^[5] It replaces Entourage, which was included in Office 2001, X, 2004 and 2008 for Mac.^[6]

Limitations[edit]

Office for Mac 2011 has a number of limitations compared to Office 2010 for Windows. It does not support ActiveX controls,^[7] or OpenDocument Format.^[8][9] 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 ^[10] and automatic language detection. ^[11]

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. ^[12]

Office for Mac 2011 also has a shorter lifecycle than Office 2010. Support for Office for Mac 2011 was originally scheduled 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. ^[13] As 32-bit software, it will not run on macOS Catalina or later versions of macOS. It is also not officially supported on macOS High Sierra or macOS Mojave.^[14][15]

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.^[16]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.^[17] Office 2011 requires an Intel Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later.^[18]

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.^[19] The Academic edition was created for higher education students, staff and faculty, and includes one installation.^[20] Office for Mac is also available as part of Microsoft's Office 365 subscription programme.

Development[edit]

Microsoft announced Office 2011 in 2009.^[21] 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^[22]
• Beta 4 (Build 100526)
• Beta 5 (Build 100709)
• Beta 6 (Build 100802)

Access to beta versions was by invitation only,^[23] although leaked copies were circulated among Mac file sharing websites.^[24]

The final version was released to manufacturing on September 10, 2010,^[25] was available to volume license customers a day later,^[26] and made available to the general public on October 26, 2010.^[27] Service Pack 1 was released on April 12, 2011.^[28]

Improvements that are included in the update

Improvements for all Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 applications

• Document Connection support for OneDrive documents is improved.
  Lets users view and access documents that are located at the root level of a OneDrive folder.
  

• The drag-and-drop feature in Document Connection is added in Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion).
  Adds a drag-and-drop feature for files in Document Connection in Mac OS X 10.7.
  

• Upload functionality for SharePoint sites is improved.

  Fixes an issue in which the Italian grammar checker does not check a whole document.
  

• The German grammar checker is improved.
  Fixes an issue in which the German grammar checker does not check a whole document when the document contains certain German sentences.
  

Improvements for Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011

• The database and the rebuild utility are improved.
  Includes fixes that make the database more robust and that make the rebuild utility more effective. Outlook for Mac uses the Office database to store personal information, such as messages and contacts. This update fixes issues that cause database corruption, instability, and crashes. This update also improves database transactions and makes it easier to recover from certain errors. If there is a problem within the database, Outlook for Mac starts the Database Utility. The Database Utility tries to rebuild the database. After you install this update, the Database Utility recovers additional account information, such as shared resources and categories, and it takes steps to recover from corruption scenarios. This update also lets you cancel a database rebuild in Outlook for Mac.
  

• IMAP account sync is improved. This includes support for synchronizing with Gmail.
  After you install this update, Outlook for Mac regularly updates new messages in IMAP folders. Additionally, Outlook for Mac users who use Gmail accounts can automatically map folders, such as Drafts, Deleted Items, Sent Items, and Junk E-Mail.
  

• Outlook for Mac performance in key scenarios is improved.
  Introduces several performance improvements in the following areas:
  

  • General responsiveness during syncing

  • Deleting multiple records

  • Displaying email message content

  • Sending email messages

• Exchange email message sync is improved.
  Introduces a new sync model for Exchange. This new model lets Outlook for Mac download an email message in parts. For example, Outlook for Mac first downloads and displays the message text and then downloads large images and attachments. Downloading messages in parts reduces the load on the Exchange server and improves performance for the user.
  

• Support for calendar scheduling resources is improved.
  Improves support for calendar scheduling resources and for free/busy comparison functionality in the Scheduling Assistant.
  

• Week numbers are added to the calendar display.
  Adds a preference to let the calendar display week numbers.
