If you’re a district that uses Office for the MAC you will be happy to hear Microsoft is finally releasing the latest version at the end of October. Not much news about the features at this point though.
One article from Znet – Microsoft confirms Office for Mac 2011 coming October 26
Microsoft officials also shared information about two previously undisclosed features that will be part of the new Mac Office suite. One, known as Dynamic Reorder, allows users to interactively re-order all the layers in a document or presentation. The other, Full Screen View, is part of Word 2011, and will allow users to block out background distractions by filling the screen with one view optimized for writing and the other for reading.
