In addition, the old Project Gallery had a less than ideal combination of tabs, popup, and a source list, so items werenвЂ™t as discoverable.

Mac Word 2008 had a glimmer of this, called the Project Gallery, but it had neither the clarity of purpose nor clarity of presentation this new one has. That вЂњWhatвЂ™s NewвЂќ page can be brought up at any time from WordвЂ™s Help menu.Д®vidence of AppleвЂ™s influence appears right away in an improved Document Gallery that allows the user to select from several different kinds of templates, focused just on Word, and resizable with a slider.

IвЂ™ll go so far as to guess that Microsoft has paid close attention to how Apple approaches the customer with iLife and iWork. The first thing youвЂ™ll see when you launch Word is a nicely laid out вЂњWhatвЂ™s NewвЂќ page that looks like something Apple would do. (Silverlight is MicrosoftвЂ™s answer to Adobe Flash and is required, for example, to watch streamed Netflix movies on a Mac.) UPDATE: Microsoft later passed on to me that Silverlight is not installed, but IвЂ™m still waiting to hear from them why this particular warning occurs. At first, I suspected, the installer is adding Sliverlight to /Library/Internet Plug-ins.

The installer has a low key, professional look.Дuring the install, youвЂ™ll be asked to quit Safari if itвЂ™s running. The first thing I noticed is that Microsoft, like Apple, is getting away from glitzy, retro-cartoonish looks and more down to business. In this case, however, I wrote the entire review in Word 14 itself. Again, once we understand that, weвЂ™re ready to dig in.ДЄs an aside, I normally compose my articles in BBEdit and then copy and paste into our publishing engine. However, for those who donвЂ™t want to risk conversion issues with a publisher, those who are making a living in the workplace with MS Word, and those who need the ultimate in scope and power, MS Word is the standard. In my own case, when I have a major writing task to tackle, itвЂ™s likely going to be with Nisus Writer Pro. This specific design goal supersedes the traditional notion, in our community, that a Word processor should be ultimately simple, elegant and hyper-intuitive, like Nisus Writer. Therefore, Word on the Mac must cater to the needs of enterprise users. Some customers wonвЂ™t like the new UI, but whatвЂ™s important is that Microsoft has recognized that the Mac is moving into the enterprise. And because AppleвЂ™s frameworks require us to complete the move to Cocoa before we can build a 64-bit version, Office 2011 will be 32-bit only.вЂќ However, the new Outlook program in the MS Office 2011 suite is written in Cocoa.ДЄll this, of course, is a grand scheme. Our work to increase compatibility means we havenвЂ™t completed the transition of moving the entire user interface over to Cocoa yet.

MicrosoftвЂ™s Jake Hoelter with the Mac BU explained: вЂњIn Office 2011, weвЂ™ve made investments in better compatibility between Office for Mac and Windows Office, which is the largest request we receive from customers. Microsoft Word 14, Office 2011 (Microsoft) First, even though itвЂ™s fundamentally a 32-bit Carbon app, it has both the look and feel of its Windows counterpart while simultaneously making dramatic steps to be more Mac enabled.

Worse, the Macintosh version always seemed a little less capable, a little less business oriented than its corresponding app on the Windows side.

For a long time, the MacBU went its own way, and while modern Mac OS X apps leaped into the future, embracing all that Apple advocated, Word 2008 seemed, at times, antediluvian.

For example, we in the Macintosh community have come to recognize certain UI elements, certain Core Graphics technologies, certain ways of doing things as either hip or backwards. The key to understanding and using Microsoft Word version 14 as part of the Microsoft Office 2011 suite is to leave the attitude behind and try to understand what the users want and what Microsoft tries to deliver.ДЄnother way to approach MS Word is to appreciate what Microsoft has done even as we recognize that such a monster program will have flaws. A program of this scope, almost like a public figure, has responsibilities, flaws, advocates and detractors. There has never been a Macintosh program that has been so loved, so reviled, so controversial, so often purchased, so written about, and so often taken as a signpost for the health and well being of the Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit as MS Word.
