*Microsoft Office 2011 Academic* is a special version of the popular
productivity suite especially developed for university and college students
and for a reduced price. Though it's a special version for students,
Microsoft Office 2011 Academic functions exactly the same as the normal
version. It includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, OneNote, Outlook, Access,
InfoPath, SharePoint, Communicator and Publisher. One of the most notable
inclusions in this version is the *Ribbon feature* that can be found in
Office 2011 for Windows. From tabs running across the top, you can now access
all the functions of each application, giving you more screen real estate to
concentrate on your actual documents. The other notable inclusion is the
*arrival of Outlook* to Mac meaning Microsoft Office 2011 users can now use
the mail and calendar client to communicate just as they can on Windows. The
2011 version includes Office Web Apps to make collaborating on projects much
easier. As regards appearance, all the programs in Microsoft Office 2011
maintain the *ribbon interface* – in a clear, almost minimalist style. The
Office button now gives you access to a different panel including direct
access to all document-related tasks. It also shows detailed information
about the document you're currently working on. Microsoft Office 2011
Academic has pretty much the same features we have seen in other versions of
the suite. The context menu in *Word* has been improved, and lets you see
changes in real time as you browse through the different options. You can add
videos to your *PowerPoint* presentations, remove redundant messages from
conversations in *Outlook* and insert small color charts inside *Excel*
spreadsheets. There are also tools to translate text, take and use
screenshots, and apply special effects to the images you use in your
documents. Regarding performance, Microsoft Office Academic is fast and light
on system resources. The components launch quickly and the suite is
responsive when working on documents. Microsoft Office 2011 is generally an
excellent productivity which is suitable for not just college student, but
also professional academics. *Microsoft Office 2011 Academic provides all the
power you need for your studies.*Download *Microsoft Office Academic 2011* in
