Amazon.com Review:
Microsoft Office 2001 for Macintosh builds on the excellence that Macintosh users enjoyed in Office 98. In the latest version, Microsoft revamps the form and function of the Office suite to make it feel more at home on the Mac than ever. This is the upgrade version, so to use this product you must be the registered owner of a previous version of Office for Mac, or of individual Office applications.

A curvy new interface, which echoes the elegance of the upcoming Mac OS X, reveals improvements in each component. Word's versatile editing tools now include instant access to Encarta dictionary definitions; and Excel now imports FileMaker databases, sorts and manages lists, and sports a new calculator that simplifies formula creation. PowerPoint's new Tri-Pane interface and text AutoFit feature make it easier to build presentations. Plus, the ability to save PowerPoint documents as QuickTime movies makes it easier to share them.

The most significant addition to Office 2001 is the new personal-information manager. Dubbed Entourage, it will handle your e-mail (AutoFormat and AutoCorrect features that are borrowed from Word nicely refine composition), address book, to-do list, and calendar. Entourage can filter your e-mail and tasks quickly with color-coded categories and custom views, and sync seamlessly with your Palm OS device, which helps to keep you organized.

Entourage's presence is felt throughout Office 2001--every application will let you flag documents for follow-up and pass the reminder on to the calendar, and the address book is accessible at any time, which is invaluable if you use Word for mail-merge tasks.

This integrated approach is key to Office 2001's appeal. A new Formatting Palette automatically shows tools that are relevant to the task at hand; the Office Clipboard palette keeps track of multiple items that have been copied from different Office applications; and the ubiquitous Office Assistant is always on hand with tips and how-to advice.

Our advice? With features as wide-ranging as these, Office 2001 makes it easy for you to create, manage, and present your documents like a real pro. --Jack Gardiner

- Too much Windows; not enough Mac.
Like a good boy, I had been regularly purchasing my MicroSoft Excel upgrades for a very long time. How long has it been? It's been so long that my first copy of Excel (1.0, in 1985) was free, because at the time I possessed registered copies of MS Multiplan and MS Chart. That's a long time by anyone's measure.

My most recent Excel upgrade prior to MS Office for the Mac 2001 was Excel 95; I took a bye on Office 98 principally because I've never been particularly fond of MS Word (even ... Read More

- Check your keyboard before upgrading
I've been a loyal Office user for as long as I can remember, and I was psyched for this upgrade from Office 98. While there are some nice new items, I've got a big-time beef with the Excel package. Have you grown used to all those keyboard shortcuts like command-D (fill down), command-I (insert) and several others? They stopped working when I "upgraded." I went to www.microsoft.com/mac and checked the Office 2001 part of the downloads section. There, I found a file titled: Microsoft Excel 2001 ... Read More

- MS Office for Mac 2001 Upgrade Needed with Mac OS 9.1
As a dedicated Mac user, I approach new Microsoft products with healthy skepticism. However, I must have cross-platform reliability since I use Windows NT, too. In the past, I took what I needed from MS Office 98, and I disabled the rest. Then I upgraded my Mac OS from 8.6 to 9.0 to 9.1. While Word 6.01a and PowerPoint 8.0 still worked, Excel 5.0 would not work with Mac OS 9x. Thus, I had to purchase the MS Office for Mac 2001 upgrade in order to get an Excel program that would work with Mac OS 9.1, ... Read More

- incremental improvements
Essentially an incremental update of Office, with some mostly cosmetic improvements and a useful new floating palette function. It's good that Microsoft has stopped simply porting the Windows version of Office to the Mac; however, if you are happy with Mac Office 98, you should look at the "new" features carefully to ensure upgrading is worth the hassle and the cost. Beware of the included Value Pack as well, it will slap several hundred Mb of flashy clip art and bloated document templates on your hard ... Read More
