Here's a video explaining the basics of Microsoft PowerPoint for Mac 2011. Remember to watch my introduction video before watching this one, unless you already have.

I know, it's a weird question, so lemme explain first before you all go 'One's for Mac, one's for Windows' because I already know that. Our university recently just completed an interesting licensing offer for all students, faculty and staff: for only the 'cost of the distribution media', a person can get Windows 7 + either Office 2011 for Mac (assuming at least Home and Student) or Office 2010 Professional Plus. I already have Office 2008 and, while there are some little quirks, I'm really fine with it except the fact that it manages to make HUGE file sizes (a simple 200 word document may create, for instance, a 160kb file in.docx). I also have a netbook which is using strictly OpenOffice.

I don't mind it 99% of the time, but there are times when I'll have to work on a paper and the formatting mishaps are a tad annoying. My problem with getting Office 2010 on the netbook is that I feel that running programs on it might get a bit slow (only 1GB RAM).and also, I'm not really going to write papers for the next semester. Also, I can still buy Office 2010 for relatively cheap from the Ultimate Steal promotion (79.95 vs. 99.99 for Office Mac through Ultimate Steal) I think you can tell which direction I'm heading with this.but is there a flaw in my logic? Something else should I consider? Thanks and happy new year everyone. Reading between the lines it seems the key question is on which system will you be doing the most with Office; your netbook or your mac mini?

The question of performance on the netbook can be solved using the trial version of Office 2010. Chances are the Mac Office 2011 version you'd have available is the Academic, which is a third less advertised version; essentially its the Pro version with Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook.

Thats what my school offers for purchase through e-Academy for $56. A secondary question is whether you need to act now or can wait; you mention you don't anticipate any papers this next term. Do you forsee moving to a Macbook of some flavor later this year? If you don't need to buy now, it might be worthwhile to hold off making a purchase until you have a clear picture of your future computing platform(s) if there's any question.

We've got Office 2010 at work, just upgrading from 2003. I'm using a high-end but four year old desktop computer. 2010 is sluggish compared to 2003, and cumbersome to use. I don't think I'd want to use it on a netbook. On the other hand, I've also gone from 2008 to 2011 on the Mac.

For me it was a much needed change (2008 didn't have all the features of 2007, which was causing me problems). Having what looks like the same user interface is a plus, but the keyboard shortcuts for Windows are useful but ugly for the Mac. Also the user interface isn't Mac-like at all, while 2008 was to a greater extent. If I were in your shoes, and were looking forward to some heavy Word use in the future (mine is actually light) I'd get the Windows 7 + Office 2010 package, and run in a virtual machine (the free Virtual Box would suffice) on the Mini. Deeddawg: I wouldn't mind waiting, but interestingly enough it's only a 'limited time offer', aka until the end of the semester. As for performance.when I had the Office trial I found it to be usable but somewhat sluggish. Granted, OpenOffice isn't that much better.but it does do the trick.
