The Office app store never really took off in a big way, and since no Mac has a touchscreen, it’s unsurprising that there’s no need for a view that provides slightly larger, more finger-friendly icons. For the most part, these differences are completely understandable. The touchscreen-specific features of Office 2013 for Windows are also missing. On OS X, you have to actively click the style, making it trickier to preview a style change, but easier to avoid having your text style change by accident, merely by nudging the mouse over it.Įlsewhere, there’s no sign of any Word specific apps, a feature Microsoft was very keen to push in the Windows version. On Windows, as you hover your mouse over one of the Style sets in the Ribbon, the text changes automatically. The real-time Style preview feature doesn’t make it over, either. For example, the Track changes on/off button on the Review tab of the Ribbon toolbar takes the form of a toggle on the Mac version far easier to understand than the rather cryptic button on the Windows version. Some of the icons look different, a change that is largely for the better. Despite the almost identical looks, Word for Mac doesn’t quite copy the Windows version, feature for feature.
