MS Word for Mac – Hate the Toolbox

Posted by Jon Court on June 18, 2009

Is it just me or is the toolbox in MS Word 2008 for Mac ridiculously small (read: horrid). I’m battling with a document with many styles at the moment and am finding myself scrolling up and down, up and down endlessly in a scroll window that displays 5 styles at a time. I’ve got RSI just thinking about it.

On a lighter note – I’m lovin’ the new Ribbon concept in the Windows version. Who ever designed that deserves a pat on the back (and a big bonus). It takes a little getting used to but is just great when your up the learning curve.

If there is some friendly competition between the Word for Mac and the Word for Windows UI teams then I think the Windows team well and truly wins this round.

PS: If anyone knows how to increase the size of the toolbox or dock it please tell me how. Please – I’m dying here.
