1028 On the eve of Release to Manufacturing (RTM), the Mac BU is giving you a final peek into the new Office 2008 for Mac before it officially launches at Macworld. This last sneak preview provides a look at the Excel 2008 improvements that cater to spreadsheet novices and experts alike with helpful new formula tools and a significantly increased grid workspace.

Excel 2008

* Formula Builder: Another great tool to help all Excel users tap into the power of this application is Formula Builder. Found in the updated Excel 2008 Toolbox, Formula Builder walks users through the steps needed to create the perfect formula for any occasion.

* Formula AutoComplete: And for those who are a little further along on the Excel proficiency continuum, Formula AutoComplete is on the scene. Simply start by typing the first part of a formula in the Formula Bar, and a dynamic drop-down menu of functions and names appears — with the most recent ones at the top. Select an item to insert from the list and let the computations begin.

* Increased Rows and Columns: As part of Mac BU's ongoing efforts to satisfy power users while enhancing the everyday user experience, Excel 2008 introduces increased rows and columns. This expansion matches the Windows Office System 2007, so all Excel spreadsheet users on Macs and PCs will have access to up to 16,000 columns and more than 1 million rows which is truly a "Big Grid"!
