‘Tis the season to be jolly…and to enjoy an additional Sneak Peek site
feature update! Office 2008 for Mac offers simplified ways to share and
manage your projects in PowerPoint 2008 and Word 2008. Visit the Sneak Peek
site at (http://www.macoffice2008.com) and find the following Office for
Mac enhancements:
PowerPoint 2008
* Send to iPhoto: With Office 2008, users can share presentations from
their Macs to their iPods. By enabling users to save slide shows to iPhoto,
PowerPoint makes it easy to deliver mobile presentations from your iPod.
Just save the show as either a PNG or JPEG file and transfer to an iPod to
enable portable pitches, proposals and presentations.
* Apple Remote Control-enabled: PowerPoint 2008 takes advantage of Apple
Remote control, allowing presenters to roam the room while using the simple
six-button functionality to remotely control their slideshow.
Word 2008
* Notebook Layout View Improvements: The Notebook Layout View in Word has
been improved to provide greater flexibility to manage your thoughts. Users
now have the ability to customize their workspace with different
backgrounds, as well as add color-coded tabs to ensure a more efficient
note-taking taking experience. All this in addition to the powerful
features users are familiar with including synchronized audio notes, and
task integration with Entourage.
December will deliver even more feature updates and a significant Mac BU
RTM milestone…as we quickly approach a New Year and a new Office 2008 for
Mac.
