We all know that in the past, Office for Mac hasn't necessarily played that well with Office for PC. On this episode of The Office Show, we'll show you how that's all changed with Office for Mac 2011.

You might not believe this, but around here we don't consider "Mac" to be a dirty word. We like Macs. We like people who use Macs. We want them to have great experiences with Office. But let's be honest, it's been a rough road. Especially when the Mac people spend a lot of time working on their docs and then send them to the PC people, and they end up looking like...well...insert your own metaphor.

In this Office Show, Dr. Office, aka Doug "Office Casual" Thomas, shows you how Office for Mac 2011 makes compatibility so much better. Docs made on Macs look great on PCs. And vice versa. Not that we really want to wade into that whole operating-system-as-personal-identification conflict thing, but we think this makes the argument a lot harder. Plus, Mac for Office experts Stephanie Brown and Kurt Schmucker show you some more cool features, like background removal, drag and drop page layout in Word, and reordering in PowerPoint, which lets you open up the layers in a presentation "like a sliced salami."

Do you sometimes collaborate with others on the creation of these really long documents? Check out the latest episode of the Office Show for a quick tour of some of the new features in Microsoft Word 2010 that could make your life just a little bit easier.

We’ll show you the new Navigation Pane in Word. It makes it easy to find your way around long, complicated documents.

If you’re upgrading from Word 2003, the new fluent user interface will be new to you. Menus and toolbars have been replaced by the ribbon. The ribbon was introduced with Word 2007, and it’s made doing things like applying styles really easy.

You are using styles in Word aren’t you? No? Well, we’ll not only show you how to apply styles, we’ll show you how to create your own custom styles.

Collaborating on documents in Word has been made easy with the new coauthoring feature. We’ll show you how you can work with others in the same document without the worry of multiple versions sprouting up in email.

Yes, all this and a gratuitous reference to pirates and parrots!

For more action packed tips, techniques, and ideas for making life a little better using Word 2010, click on the links below for great content from Office.com and Channel 9. 

If you have ideas and tips you want to share about how Word works in your world, write a comment and let everyone know. And we’d love to hear what you think of the show.
