Office for Mac Home and Student Edition 2011 from Microsoft is a powerful suite of productivity applications, written for Mac OS X. The suite includes Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

New features of Office 2011 include Office Web Apps, Coauthoring, a ribbon and toolbar for quick function access, a Template Gallery, photo editing options, a full screen view, slide show broadcasting, and more.

Note! This version of Office for Mac Home and Student Edition 2011 gives the end-user license to install and use the software on up to 3 computers in the same household.

Word

Publishing Layout View
Create visually rich newsletters, brochures, and documents easily. A powerful user interface gives users the ability to easily manipulate the layering of text, shapes, pictures, SmartArt, and charts in a document. Word also features new ligatures for more professional-looking documents, and new typography features for more creative document options
Visual Styles
Instantly see the Styles applied in your document, enabling great-looking documents with consistent, recurring formatting. And with the introduction of Styles Visual Aids in Word 2011, there are now color-coded visual aids that reinforce the relationship between Styles and in‐document content, while also providing one‐click checking for potential formatting errors. Styles are easier to use and more reliable than ever
Full Screen View
Maximize the space for reading and writing documents. The Full Screen View feature enables a Word user to block out all other windows, menus, palettes, and other superfluous content on the screen, to be able to completely focus on the task at hand: either reading or editing a Word document
Reorder Objects
Reorder Objects enables you to easily rearrange layers of text, photos, and graphics throughout your documents. This new functionality allows users to intuitively and directly manipulate the layers to achieve more predictable results, without cumbersome clicking and dragging
Word Web App
Post, access, edit, and share your files from virtually anywhere. Word is now integrated with Windows Live SkyDrive, so that your documents can be stored, viewed, edited, and shared in the cloud from any computer with Internet access. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer on Windows, Safari on Mac or Windows, and Firefox on Mac or Windows
Coauthoring
Word for Mac 2011 enables several collaborators to simultaneously edit the same document from different computers in different locations. During a coauthoring session, users can see when updates occur, be informed of presence of the other collaborators, block other authors from making changes to sections they are working on, and work around conflicting changes

PowerPoint

Photo Editing
Create visually rich presentations by touching up your photos right in PowerPoint. Remove backgrounds or add color filters, all with just one click
Broadcast Slide Show
Move beyond the conference room and use the cloud to broadcast your presentations online, with minimal setup time and no special software required. Now, anyone can be "present" for your presentation
Reorder Objects
Reorder Objects enables you to easily reorder layers of text, photos, and graphics throughout your presentation. This new functionality allows users to intuitively and directly manipulate the layers to achieve more predictable results, without cumbersome clicking and dragging
Presenter View
Rehearse, check your timing, or take notes while you present in Presenter View. Use visual cues to keep presenters on time, and integrate enhanced recorded narration and rehearse features
PowerPoint Web App
Post, access, edit, and share your presentation decks from virtually anywhere. PowerPoint is now integrated with Windows Live SkyDrive, so that your documents can be stored, viewed, edited, and shared in the cloud from any computer with Internet access. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer on Windows, Safari on Mac or Windows, and Firefox on Mac or Windows
Coauthoring
PowerPoint for Mac 2011 enables several collaborators to simultaneously write and edit the same document from different computers in different locations. During a coauthoring session, users can see when updates occur, be informed of presence of the other collaborators, block other authors from making changes to sections they are working on, and work around conflicting changes

Excel

Conditional Formatting
Create rich, visually compelling datasheets and tables with icons, data bars, and color scales. See enhancements like borders, solid colors, and negative values, as well as pre-packaged choices for formatting and filtering, including "Top 10," "Bottom 10%," "Text That Contains," and more
Sparklines
Sparklines are thumbnail‐sized charts that permit users to view large volumes of data at a glance, enabling the easy spotting of trends in time‐series data, or trendlines. Data can be expressed in bar, line, or column form. Sparklines are based on the OfficeArt engine, so they are rendered with very high quality and fidelity. They may also be "themed" to adopt specific color sets
Tables
Organize, filter, and format related data with Excel tables. Make managing and analyzing a group of related data easier: you can turn a range of cells into an easily viewed and manipulated Excel table. You can even insert more than one table into a single worksheet
PivotTables
Spend less time sifting through data, and more time analyzing with automatic PivotTables. The popular PivotTable feature distills large sets of data into crisp summaries, and easily shows the cross‐tabular relationships between variables in the data. And in Excel 2011, PivotTables are more compatible with Windows Excel and have been redesigned for ease of use
Visual Basic
In enterprise situations where there is a mix of PCs and Macs, the Visual Basic feature works easily across all platforms. Visual Basic offers new features including IntelliSense and watch windows, as well as the Visual Basic debugging toolbar and new debugging tools
Excel Web App
Post, access, edit, and share your files from virtually anywhere. Excel is now integrated with Windows Live SkyDrive so that your documents can be stored, viewed, edited, and shared in the cloud from any computer with Internet access. Supported browsers include Internet Explorer on Windows, Safari on Windows or Mac, Firefox on Windows or Mac

    Every update on the old, reliable Microsoft office is a plus. What makes it even better is that its compatible with mac. The only problem I have is the automatic installation of MSN messenger along with the program. Other than that, all is good, even if the price is ridiculous.

    Basically what Microsoft did is port Office 2010 to Mac and make it look somewhat more mac-like. It looks totally different than Office for Mac 2008 and so far it's been pretty buggy. The search feature does not work very well, for example. Hopefully they'll address and make some updates soon.

              I was upgrading from Office 2004, so this was a big upgrade. The refinements and additional features are definitely worth the money. Especially in excel. The ribbon interface, and the ease of turning on and off the differnt parts of the ribbon interface without needing to navigate menues is a huge time-saver.

                In the Windows version there are no pull-down menus, only the unlabeled icons that take months to get used to.
                With the Mac version you have both!!!
                Cake and eat it too.
                The Windows version I have at work slowed me down for months as I struggled to find out which icon or menu I needed....

                  This is the best value for your bucks. I purchase this at B&H due to a special promotion [$] and you can install up to 3 systems. The bundle includes MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. It just perfect for my budget and it good enough for my school work. Microsoft Office Mac 2011 is a great product.

                      Required upgrade of earlier Office for Mac versions in order to be compatible with OSX Lion (10.7.x). Be sure to download and install various patches that solve some issues when this version of Office for Mac was first released, especially if you're using OSX 10.7 (and later in 2012, 10.8)

                      The software does what it's supposed to do. My only criticism is the interface is becoming increasingly more cluttered and complex. With each new version, a long-time user like me has to re-learn how the various functions and options are organized and presented.

                          I generally use Microsoft Office for basic stuff like writing documents, but I'm glad Office for Mac was as easy to use as the one intended for use with PC's.

                          Also I found B&H had the best prices in the market. Notice that if you buy this family edition, you are able to install it 3 times, in different or the same computer :D

                                  Again, B&H had a great deal for this product--better than I found elsewhere.

                                  Having versions of Office for the Max eliminates the need for having a laptop cluttering your desk so you can read word docs while working on the mac. This was a much needed software bundle to save yourself some time and computer switching.

                                    I have hundreds of Word, Excel & Power Point files that were generated when I was a PC user, and Mac's iWorks "equivalent" applications does not work well with these legacy files. With iWorks, the more complicated files had to be reworked and I found that Numbers & Keynote just did not have a lot of the Excel & Power Point commands and I was doing work arounds.

                                    Since I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac, all these issues have disappeared due to the transparency between Office on the PC and Office on the Mac.

                                      The word processor you need. The standard. the Family Pack is a good deal for a busy household like ours, with kids and parents all writing at once.

                                            Bought this at B&H due to price. B&H is always cheaper than retail and other internet sites.
                                            MS Office is MS Office. You can pay more elsewhere, or get it cheaper in a couple days from here.

                                              all the three products in this set seem essentially about the same as before

                                              I had to buy this new version since my previous office for mac would NOT work under LION
                                              [MAC OS 10.7.x.]

                                              word actually seems slower, by a lot, maybe it is doing things in the background, have no idea and no idea to turn whatever on or off
                                              it is nice that it turns fractions into real typographic fractions

                                              installation was easy BUT Excel would not work. Called tech support at Microsoft and got the installation dept in India which was useless and finally got transferred to their "tech support" people (in Nova Scotia) and they went through methodically
                                              de=installing the preferences for excel in the HIDDEN Library (an idiotic feature of Lion) and turning off an obscure command in the system preferences and then re-starting and everything worked.
                                              WHY, why, why, there cannot be a flag or separate read me file for issues with LION I do not know, it would save everybody a lot of time

                                                    Installed on a new MacBook Pro with 8GB. Nothing much else on the machine, no "enhancements" installed. So far, it's crashed twice in 2-3 hours of use. Nothing else on the computer has ever crashed. It works, when it wants to. I wish Pages was more compatible.
