Abstract:
This demonstration is designed to give you a basic understanding of the changes implemented by Microsoft on their new Office suite of software for Apple computers. Microsoft has changed several notable things in their Office layout, including: Toolbars, the Office Toolbox and the Elements Gallery. There are also some changes in functionality, such as the ability to save files as PDF’s and the elimination of Visual Basic macros. Some time will be spent on the new Open XML format and compatibility issues. Finally, we will discuss a few changes to the Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications, specifically focusing on the new Word Publishing Layout view and using Excel Ledger sheets. This session is packed with informative material for anyone using or supporting Office 2008 for Apple computers.
