Ratings and Reviews
Mac
I’m using Word for Mac. I finally bit the bullet and subscribed, because that’s the only way to get it now. It’s like an old friend. I’m fluent after YEARS of use. HOWEVER, Microsoft tries to WEDGE its cloud service into my work-flow and it’s confusing and annoying. When I want to choose «Autosave» to protect myself from losing in-process documents, it puts pop-ups telling me I need «Microsoft 360» or whatever, and there are other related foils that confuse me and make me think I can’t have a fully functioning Word version, like before, unless I have a Microsoft (MS) account and/or do what Microsoft wants with respect to its cloud service. I would appreciate if MS would lay-off and just provide the software, like before. BEFORE, I could buy it once and get all subsequent updates. Now, in the interest of recurring revenue, I have to «subscribe.» «Subscribing» to MS Word was a hurdle I had to get over. I tried everything, but the others aren’t nearly as familiar and comfortable to me…
Since the new office preimered
Many months ago you gave users a chance to try a new version of Outlook 365. I noted a few issues and oen did not get fixed. There is a clitch when I use this on Mac. When I being a sentence, the capital letter at the start of the sentence gets jumped ahead of the curser, with auot correct changing the secon letter of the sentence from lower case to capitol and them fixing the spelling of the first word.
This means, every time I begin a paragrpah or senetnce, I have to delete the first letter, which is not at the end of a sentence and go back to the begining of teh sentence and fix the first word.
Please fix this crummy coding.
Also, I am using Zoom, as are many people these days. It asked me if I want to merge with Outlook 365. I clicked yes. It generated an outlook app on my tool bar. Ithis is not a Zoom app, it is your outlook app. Now I get a bell ring and pop-up on my screen every time I have something on my calendar. I have something on my sclendar every 15 to 30 minutes. This is driving me nuts. There is a not setting to get ride of it, control the bell ring or stop the pop-up.
Please go through your systems and fix things before taing them live. You guys =used to be the best at this stuff, now you have wacky flaws without solutions.
Wonderful, especially for dictation, but problems with auto-punction
I’m a writer and am very much impressed with how far Word for Mac has come. I usually use other software to write my books (Scrivener, Drafts) but am now making the switch to writing in Word, specifically because I can access my WIP on any of my devices—iphone, ipad, macbook, imac—without paying for multiple licenses or going through mulitple headaches. The experience from one device to the next has the continuity I’ve been missing from every other solution I’ve tried. Syncing isn’t an issue at all—thank God it’s not dependent on iCloud or Dropbox. And the bonus of all bonuses is the dictation feature, which is superb across all devices. My only complaint is that I cannot turn of auto-punctuation in the dictation settings. Tick the box to turn it off and it magically turns back on. Makes for lots of extra editing. Still, it’s great and luckily the issue is only on the desktop app and not on the mobile versions. (A silver lining is that this auto-punctuation bug has gotten me dictating/writing my novels on my phone now, which has made me even more productive.)
5 stars if the auto-punctuation bug is fixed.

Microsoft Office’s text editor
Word is definitely one of the most well-known and popular tools of Microsoft Office. This text editor and processor, despite being integrated into the office suite, can be purchased and downloaded as a standalone application.
Version after version (2003, 2007, 2010, 2013…) ever since it appeared in 1983, Microsoft Word has incorporated new functions to make the creation and processing of texts and documents much more flexible, becoming the favorite editor for millions of users and one of the best tools to write on a PC (or Mac in this case), despite the decent and serious alternatives available, such as OpenOffice and LibreOffice.
The leading text editor in all aspects.
Main features and functions
You already know what it is and what it’s for but, do you know everything this office software is capable of doing?
- Create customized documents thanks to the flexible format tools it incorporates. Design documents according to specific needs.
- Generate PDF files based on documents or edit the ones you’ve already created straight from the application, being able to modify paragraphs, lists, and tables, as if you had created them on Word.
- Find whatever function or command you need from the smart search box.
- Support for collaborative work that will allow you invite other people to work in real-time in your group with just one click, allowing them to make changes to the documents that will be immediately updated in everyone else’s view. In turn, it offers a change control so that everybody can keep an eye on the modifications made.
- Advanced correction tools that help to check the spelling and grammar and also offer suggestions to improve our writing.
- Support for the inclusion of graphical elements such as tables, charts, and images.
Word’s formats
Although it’s true that the International Standardization Organization (ISO) has chosen the OpenDocument format as the standard for the exchange of formatted text, Microsoft’s format can be considered an unofficial standard. The popularity of DOC files, and subsequently DOCX with greater compression rates, have led to this situation.
In turn, the RTF or Rich Text Format is also present although it’s not so popular. Its appearance has to do with when Apple dominated the PC market and it was necessary to make files compatible between Macintosh and DOS.
Requirements and additional information:
- The trial version can be used freely for 30 days.

Microsoft Office для macOS
В 1983-м году компания Microsoft показала широкой аудитории текстовый редактор Word, который предназначался для работы в операционной системе DOS. Через год вышел редактор таблиц Excel. Программа для создания презентаций Power Point была куплена у американского студента Боба Гаскинса в 1987-м году. Все эти программы в скором времени были адаптированы для Macintosh. В 1988-м году в Microsoft решили объединить их в один пакет. Удивительно то, что первый пакет Office вышел именно для Macintosh, а вот версия для компьютеров с операционной системой от Microsoft появилась в 1990-м.
С тех пор знаменитый пакет программ развивается параллельно для Windows и MacOS. Самая последняя на сегодняшний день версия – Office 2019. Все программы из этого пакета будут оставаться актуальными на протяжении нескольких лет.
Чтобы запустить Office 2019 на Apple-компьютере, потребуется операционная система macOS версии 10,12 или новее.
Основные особенности
Несмотря на то, что компания Apple долгое время занимается развитием своего офисного пакета, который называется iWork, программное решение от Microsoft пользуется большим спросом. Существенных отличий между версиями для Windows и macOS нет, у всех программ одинаковый интерфейс, они получают обновления и поддерживают одни типы файлов.
Другие ключевые особенности
- Другие комбинации клавиш;
- Размер файлов получается больше;
- Не поддерживается часть шрифтов Windows;
- Открывает все созданные в версии для Windows файлы;
- Не поддерживаются системные автозамены.
Обзор программ
Все программы в версии для macOS аналогичны Windows. Пользователи, которые перешли с ПК на Apple-компьютер, смогут быстро приступить к работе в новой оболочке, нужно только привыкнуть к основным нюансам операционной системы mscOS, где отличаются комбинации горячих клавиш, работа с мышью и жестами для сенсорного ввода.
Главная особенность версии — скорость работы: многие пользователи отмечают, что офисные программы на Apple-компьютерах работают намного быстрее, а зависания и аварийные закрытия вообще никогда не случаются.
Word для macOS
Текстовый редактор позволяет совершать форматирование текста любой сложности. Для большего удобства можно использовать готовые стили и темы. Между тем, стоит знать, что созданные в версии для Windows документы, где использовались системные шрифты Windows (например, Arial Narrow) могут неправильно открываться. Также иногда слетает форматирование при открытии старых файлов DOC.
Программа полностью поддерживает работу с векторными и растровыми изображениями. В последней версии появилась функция рисования. Непосредственно в Word можно отредактировать изображение, что избавляет от необходимости обращаться к другим программам.
Пользователю доступна функция озвучивания текста, голосовой ввод, удобный онлайн-переводчик, инструмент проверки правописания. Софт поддерживает работу с таблицами, графиками, диаграммами и формулами. Word для macOS можно использовать не только как программу для работы с текстом, но и как «читалку».
Excel для macOS
Новая версия программы обзавелась встроенным помощником, благодаря чему можно быстро найти ту или иную функцию, используя ключевое слово или фразу. Также появилась функция рисования. Никаких существенных отличий в версии для macOS нет, пользователи, которые недавно работали в Windows, должны лишь привыкнуть к новым сочетаниям клавиш, например, чтобы создать новую ячейку, нужно нажать Control-U, а не F2.
Одно из главных достоинство последней версии Excel — обилие новых графиков и диаграмм, в которых, например, можно прописывать значения для той или иной территории (населенного пункта, региона, страны и так далее), появились воронкообразные диаграммы, что позволяет отображать те или иные значения в процессе. Также пользователь может использовать финансовые, точечные и многие другие графики и диаграммы.
PowerPoint для macOS
Многие владельцы Apple-компьютеров для работы с презентациями используют программу Keynote, однако решение от Microsoft тоже остается популярным. Стоит отметить, что созданная в Keynote презентация без проблем открывается в PowerPoint, для этого нужно воспользоваться функцией экспорта.
Новая версия PowerPoint поддерживает работу с видео в высоком разрешении 4К. Также пользователю доступны десятки стильных переходов, которые можно использовать для плавного перехода между слайдами. Работать с программой стало удобнее, так как новая версия поддерживает векторную графику, также пополнилась коллекция стикеров, клипартов, простых фигур.
Другие офисные программы
Программа для создания типографической продукции Publisher обзавелась большим количеством инструментов для редактирования растровых изображений. Access 2019 для macOS поддерживает новые диаграммы и может работать с большими числами. Много изменений появилось в Outlook, который теперь является почтовым клиентом и органайзером в одной программе. В то же время, несмотря на обилие новшеств в Outlook, он так и не стал популярным у владельцев Apple-компьютеров, где по умолчанию остановлен фирменный многофункциональный почтовый клиент.
Преимущества и недостатки
Несмотря на большое количество офисных программ от других разработчиков, решение от Microsoft остается лучшим, в том числе для macOS. Другие преимущества Microsoft Office для macOS:
Преимущества
- Стабильная работа без зависаний;
- Работа с растровой и векторной графикой;
- Понятный и удобный интерфейс;
- Командная работа над документами;
- Настраиваемая панель инструментов;
- Поддержка от Microsoft.
Иногда созданные в Office для Windows документы могут отрываться неправильно, в первую очередь, это касается формата DOC. К другим недостаткам Office для macOS следует отнести:
Недостатки
- Неудобный поиск и замена;
- Недоработанная автозамена.
