Microsoft has posted a new video clip highlighting some of the features of its Office for Mac 2011 suite due for release in late October.
In the video Microsoft’s Senior Evangelist for the Macintosh Business Unit Kurt Schmucker hightlights the following:
- Compatibility: Microsoft has focused on making Office for Mac 2011 more compatible with the Windows version than ever before, ensuring that users and documents can move seamlessly between platforms.
- Graphing: Office for Mac 2011 brings a number of new tools to help users display data in graphical formats, including the Sparklines feature that debuted in Office for Windows 2010. Sparklines allows users to display simple data in small graphs that fit right into the cells of Excel spreadsheets to provide a significant amount of information at just a quick glance.
- Photo Editing: Available throughout the suite, photo editing tools will allow users to perform a number of tasks such as filter application, background removal, and color correction without having to leave the document on which they are working.
This video is the first in a continuing series of behind-the-scenes previews of Office for Mac 2011.
