I just checked the price for this..........
Adobe InDesign can't do what you're looking for?
... fell off of a track ... - that is so funny.
I like MS Office on mac a lot, missing that feature of removing spaces between pages though
Cannot see any updates to the full screen view in Word. It was already there, perhaps the 'Focus view' icon at the bottom-left is new but the same functionality was there before SP2. And it is by no means the Lion version of Full Screen. Or is there something I have completely missed..
Still no CalDAV support - so lame.
Outlook is still horrible. I'm one of the (likely) many who are using Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2011, which were leaps ahead of the 2008 suite out of the box, but continue to use Entourage 2008 for email.
My critique of Outlook:
"Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011 still not ready for prime time: My verdict on Outlook? Still a Massive Fail."

Microsoft has yet to address many glaring omissions in a year and a half. I know, par for the course, but still inexcuseable. I'm wondering if their Mac "team" consists of a part time intern attending university, and who never even touched a Mac previously.
Duplicate does the same thing as Save As plus it gives you more options. Open the form, click Duplicate, and then make your changes. When you click Duplicate it does what "Save As" used to do.
Or if you don't want to do that up front, just edit the original and then at any point you can choose "Duplicate" and it will let you make those edits a new file. You also get to choose if you want to revert the original back to what it was before you started editing it.
"Word" of warning. My update is now asking me to enter the product key. I have a legit copy but it thinks its already registered, now I have to call Microsoft.
If you have a copy that fell off the back of a truck, be careful.
Outlook is still absolutely awful to use, tried using it for a little while and just couldn't take it anymore, started using the regular apple mail, might try sparrow, eventually, other than that, the rest of the office clients work like a charm and I absolutely love using them
Sure looks like the Lion version of full screen to me. Focus on the top right instead of the focus view in the bottom left.
Weird I don't have this even though i auto-update to SP2. Is my update not properly installed or what?
It has not installed properly.
It should read: Version 14.2.0 (120402)
I wish they had a version that just sold Word for the few times a year I need it :/
Compared to Windows pricing, you get Excel and Powerpoint free with the Mac version.

In regard to Peter's post which states:
But it clearly states that Lastest installed update (via Auto-update) is 14.2.0. And I cannot manually download and install the SP2, as it informs that that the installer could not find the correct Office version. Any suggestions as to why that is and what to do?
Quick potential solution:
- launch Word the same as you had before
- From the Dock press the CMD key and click the active Word icon
- Hold the command key down and click on the widget in the Finder window that tells you where the application is located
Do the first three items in the list look exactly like this:
Microsoft Office 2011
Applications
<the name of your boot drive>
If not, that is the source of your problem. Office needs to be in the Application folder. Also, the apps cannot be renamed.
For 14.2, we did work to prevent the Updater from saying there was not a copy of Office to update for false reasons. I am trying to make sure that we didn't miss a case in your scenario.
Question on your text:
- Are you stating that the AutoUpdate states 14.2 is available - even now after you tried to run it? OR are you saying that it no longer lists it for you?
Thanks

Greetings and Salutations
Sandman, I would like to understand your message a bit more:
It seems that I've missed an update. Rather than having me complete the missing update, required for this new update, microsoft update allowed me to waste my time downloading the newest update, even though the prior update installation was required.
AND
Of course, the newest update won't install on my MacBook Pro. Reason it's not very clear about
AND
but the installer won't run until microsoft update is quit too. Maybe they could program it to do this automatically.
None of these issues hold with what should be happening, so I think I am not understanding your scenario completely. Could you help by answering a few questions:
1. Did you get the update through the Microsoft AutoUpdate? Or did you go to the website and pull down the update?
2. When you say it won't install on your MacBook Pro, can you please give me the error message you are receiving?
3. Can you explain what you mean (alert you are seeing) when you say that the installer will not run until Microsoft Update is quit too?
Thanks a bunch - sorry to see you are having these issues, and I would like to help you get to the bottom of them so that you can have a smooth upgrade experience.

Not really. The Home and Student editions (3-user license) of both Windows and OSX versions of Office can be had online for around £80. Neither version contains Outlook though.
