Microsoft’s Mac Valentine

Mac users enjoy a love-hate relationship with Microsoft–in which love is defined as “resigned tolerance” and hate as “lava-hot rancor fueled by the fire of a thousand burning suns.” Microsoft keeps trying to win Mac hearts, adding goodies to its flagship products. Case in point: the Office 2001 upgrade. Mac users may never embrace Microsoft … but at least they’ll have a lot of new Office tools for writing angry letters to Redmond.

  Project Gallery offers customizable document templates for Microsoft Office applications to help users get started faster. Don’t need the templates? Office lets you turn off the feature.

  Image Effects adds built-in tools for importing and editing graphics and pictures in Office documents.
