APCMag explores some of the new features in Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage.
- Word offers more desktop-publishing features, allowing easy document formatting - Excel adds a new formula builder, increases max sizes of spreadsheets, but drops macro and Visual Basic support - Powerpoint can create diagrams easily, Send to iPhoto which can be viewed on your iPod - Entourage with improved Exchange connectivity, but still no encrypted MAPI mode
