What Microsoft’s latest Office moves mean for Mac and iOS users

“Microsoft is throwing a small bone to Apple users,” Bryan M. Wolfe reports for AppAdvice.

“No, Redmond hasn’t announced Office for iOS. However, they have showered Mac users with some love,” Wolfe reports. “The latest update for Office for Mac 2011 puts it more in line with the company’s more feature-rich Windows counterpart, Office 2013. In addition, the Mac software is now more immersed into the Office 365 ecosystem.”

Wolfe reports, “In many respects, Office for Mac 2011 14.3.4 looks to be a launching pad for more things to come. Firstly, it includes the Calibri Light font for the first time. Prior to this addition, Windows users often saw font substitutions when they received documents from Mac users. The update also adds built-in support for SkyDrive, and SharePoint in Microsoft Word.”
