Hate Microsoft if you will, but until someone/anyone beats MS Office, it will continue to rule. Much like its Windows 2003 counterpart, this is a very stable version. The new Notebook view in Word, the word processor, is a delightful rip-off of OneNote for Windows, a note-taking and organizing program. In situations where fast note-taking is essential — lectures and interviews come to mind — this view presents a tabbed on-screen notebook and keystrokes that make it easy to type an outline. Best of all, if you click a Record button, your microphone records the proceedings. Later you can play back a certain audio segment just by clicking the corresponding spot in your notes.
The other killer new feature is in PowerPoint, the slide-show software that's loved or loathed by corporate presenters the world over. It's a new view called Presenter Tools, designed especially for laptops hooked up to projectors. In this mode, the audience sees only your projected slides. But on your laptop, you see a very different, private display. Beneath a half-size version of each slide, you see your own notes; for the first time in PowerPoint, you can cheat from a script without letting the audience catch wise. Second, you see a timer, which keeps you from sabotaging your own pitch by running overtime. Third, you see miniatures of the previous slide, your current slide and what's coming up next. No longer do you risk being just as surprised by the next slide as the audience. From the first time you use them, these tools translate into better pacing, better delivery and greater confidence. If you've used a Mac for any time, then once a program does everything anybody could ever ask of it, adding more features like these is just icing on the icing. WELL WORTH THE UPGRADE FOLKS.

“The cloud” is a friendly way of describing web-based computing services that are hosted outside of your home or organization. With Office 365, for example, information storage, computation, and software are located and managed remotely on servers owned by Microsoft. Mac. When you use cloud-based services, your IT infrastructure resides off your property (off-premises), and is maintained by a third party (hosted), instead of residing on a server at your home or business (on-premises) that you maintain.

Office 2004 for Mac is a version of Microsoft Office developed for Mac OS X. It is equivalent to Office 2003 for Windows. The software was originally written for PowerPC Macs, so Macs with Intel CPUs must run the program under Mac OS X's Rosetta emulation layer. For this reason, it is not compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 and newer.

Office 2004 was replaced by its successor, Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac, which was developed as a universal binary to run natively on Intel Macs. However, Office 2008 did not include support for Visual Basic for Applications, which made Microsoft extend the support period of Office 2004 from October 13, 2009 to January 10, 2012.[3] Microsoft ultimately shipped support for Visual Basic in Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, which also dropped PowerPC support altogether. Support for Office 2004 ended January 10, 2012.[2]

Editions[edit]

Microsoft Office for Mac 2004 is available in three editions: Standard, Professional, and Student and Teacher. All three editions include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. The Professional Edition adds Virtual PC. The Student and Teacher Edition cannot be upgraded, which means when a later version of Office is released, people who purchased the Student and Teacher edition must buy a new package.

Features[edit]

Word 2004[edit]

Microsoft Word is a word processor which possesses a dominant market share in the word processor market. Its proprietary DOC format is considered a de facto standard, although its successive Windows version (Word 2007) uses a new XML-based format called .DOCX, but has the capability of saving and opening the old .DOC format.

The new Office Open XML format was built into the next version of Office for Mac (Office 2008). However, it is also supported on Office 2004 with the help of a free conversion tool available from Microsoft.[4]

Excel 2004[edit]

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. Like Microsoft Word, it possesses a dominant market share. It was originally a competitor to the dominant Lotus 1-2-3, but it eventually outsold it and became the de facto standard for spreadsheet programs.

Entourage 2004[edit]

Microsoft Entourage is an email application. Its personal information management features include a calendar, address book, task list, note list, and project manager. With Entourage 2004, Microsoft began offering a Project Center, which allows the user to create and organize projects. Information may come from within Entourage or outside the program.

PowerPoint 2004[edit]

Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular presentation program used to create slideshows composed of text, graphics, movies and other objects, which can be displayed on-screen and navigated through by the presenter or printed out on transparencies or slides. It too possesses a dominant market share. Movies, videos, sounds and music, as well as wordart and autoshapes can be added to slideshows.

Virtual PC[edit]

Included with Office 2004 for Mac Professional Edition, Microsoft Virtual PC is a hypervisor which emulates Microsoft Windowsoperating systems on Mac OS X which are PowerPC-based. Virtual PC does not work on Intel-based Macs and in August 2006, Microsoft announced it would not be ported to Intel-based Macintoshes, effectively discontinuing the product as PowerPC-based Macintoshes are no longer manufactured.

Criticism[edit]

Images inserted into any Office 2004 application by using either cut and paste or drag and drop result in a file that does not display the inserted graphic when viewed on a Windows machine. Instead, the Windows user is told 'QuickTime and a TIFF (LZW) decompressor are needed to see this picture'. Peter Clark of Geek Boy's Blog presented one solution in December 2004.[5] However, this issue persists in Office 2008.

There is no support for editing right to left and bidirectional languages (such as Arabic, Hebrew, Persian, etc.) in Office 2004. This issue has not been fixed in Office 2008 or 2011 either.[6][7]
