Unfortunately, it won't. It's a program that's good enough that it's actually worth installing Windows on your Mac through Boot Camp (if you know how), so that you can use it. |

There are two separate Microsoft Office teams that work on the Office suite - one for Mac, one for Windows. Unfortunately, the Mac team either isn't as strong, or doesn't have as much funding... whatever the reason, the Windows Office suite is a much stronger product with much better features, especially for email (Outlook instead of Entourage) and note-taking (OneNote instead of... nothing). |

OneNote
For anyone that wants to buy OneNote, Microsoft is selling Office Ultimate to anyone with a university email address for $64, which is about 91% off. Google "microsoft ultimate steal canada" or go to http://www.microsoft.com/student/dis...a/default.aspx. This is cheaper than the home and student version. |

Hey, I use OneNote for pretty much all my classes...especially for chemistry and bio. Instead of printing out all the powerpoint slides I just use OneNote and type directly on them. To put powerpoint slides you can just take screen clips by opening the slide on your screen and pressing the "windows key" + "s" , then you just select the slide area and the computer automatically opens it in OneNote. |
