A Range of Microsoft Office Available Online For Macs

Microsoft Office is not just for PCs running on Windows. It is also available for Mac users who want a more familiar and easy-to-use office suite. There is a good selection of Microsoft Office for Mac suites that you can buy online, and each of them is aimed at different users with different needs. Here are some Office for Mac products that you might consider buying:

Microsoft Office for Mac Home and Business 2011

Office for Mac 2011 has the basic programs like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, along with Outlook for email and the new and improved customisable Ribbon, which allows you to access commonly used and favourite commands with ease. It supports Office Web Apps, which allow you to edit, post, or share files from anywhere. This version supports Presentation Broadcast, Sparklines, Visual Basic, and direct photo editing right within PowerPoint.

Microsoft Office 2011 University for Mac

Aimed at students, this office suite simplifies the completion of common academic tasks such as writing papers, creating presentations, and sharing them with others through email. However, it is restricted for use of university faculty and students, so you need proof that you are one if you want to buy this software.

Microsoft Office 2011 Home and Student for Mac

Like the University version, this office suite is aimed at students but it is suitable for home users, too. Documents, spreadsheets, and presentations made using its apps can be shared, viewed, and edited by PC users. The software lets you store files in a password-protected online folder from SkyDrive so you can also access, share, or edit them anywhere, as long as you have Office Web Apps.

Microsoft Office 2011 Standard for Mac

This is the standard version that is fully compatible with Office 2010 and previous versions of Office for Mac and PC. The interface is similar to Office 2010 and 2007, except with the addition of The Ribbon. This suite integrates a new Outlook version written with Mac OS X Cocoa API. Microsoft Office 2011 Standard for Mac supports Office Web Apps and Windows Live SkyDrive, so Mac and Windows users can edit documents simultaneously, online.
