Office For Mac

Calling all Bay Area and Puget Sound Office:Mac 2008 users!

In conjunction with the upcoming release of Office:Mac 2011, our user experience team is conducting several research studies beginning in late September about the new applications to track their usage and usability over time.  While these studies won’t impact features to be included in Office:Mac 2011, they will help us determine how well we met our goals for this release, as well as shape the goals for our future releases.

So, where do you come in? We need feedback from people who meet the following criteria:

  • are located in the San Francisco Bay Area or Puget Sound region
  • currently use Office:Mac 2008 at work
  • (not required, but helpful) use Exchange at work for mail and calendar

If you meet these criteria and would like to participate in our research, please contact me with the following information:

  • name
  • e-mail address
  • which applications you use
  • how frequently you use those applications

If you don’t meet these criteria, or if you’re not in the Bay Area or Puget Sound region, don’t despair!  We’re always looking for user input and will have more opportunities for participation coming up soon.  To participate in future studies, you can sign up here.

    I use Word, Outlook, Entourage, PowerPoint, and Excel.

    Word — several hours a day (mainly on Mac, but have Mac and PC). A very knowledgeable user.

    PowerPoint — prepare a few presentations a year. Look at presentations when they are sent to me (perhaps daily). Not a power user.

    Excel — daily, but for minutes rather than hours at a time. Only know basic features.

    Entourage — daily to keep my database synchronized with the Exchange Server. Use Outlook many times a day for e-mail. Use other programs for calendar and tasks.

    @linhlinhky Sorry you’re having issues. Assuming you mean Messenger for Mac, what specific problem are you having?

    It looks like your link to the usability studies is no longer working.
