Part of the new Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Word 2011 has greatly reduced the number of available toolbars, eliminated the formatting palette, and added the much-talked about ribbon. Maria explains why those changes require some learning, but are for the best. The different kinds of tables in Word and which to use for what, the return of macros and why you need to understand privacy and security in Word documents are all part of the discussion.

Dan reviews the process, how much it costs, how web sites get converted to ebooks, how long the process takes, and how they are distributed for sale. Kelly talks about Border’s involvement in distribution and how it fits with their model of delivering content that people want to read. In Border’s eyes, Book Brewer books will have the same status as any other book from a major publisher and that has significant implications for the publication of your book. Not just for blogs, BookBrewer can generate an ebook, ready for publication, from a variety of sources, including Word and PDF files.

Jean MacDonald, Philip Goward and Greg Scown join us to talk about PDF Pen 5, New to this version is redacting of PDFs…real redacting, not just cosmetic graphic placement that can reveal confidential information. How this is implemented and why it is so important are covered in depth, as is the other new killer feature, conversion of web pages to PDF documents. You won’t appreciate how useful and sophisticated this is until you hear the group explain how it works and how much control you have to download not just a page, but links and content as well. A live demo is even done during the show, much to everyone’s surprise, so you can hear how long it takes and what you get out of it. The Smile crew review other changes to this version of PDF Pen, how the upgrades work, and how another of their products, TextExpander, is fast evolving into a platform of its own for handling text on the Mac, iPad, iPhone and iPod touch.

Joe talks about some of the ways DEVONthink works, how it fits into a paperless workflow, how it manages the documents and information it organizes, and some of its many capabilities. This Take Control book has some different features, including a screencast; Joe talks about the reasons for the differences, and how they facilitate your getting started with DEVONthink.

In the Livescribe booth at Macworld 2010, Maureen Keating and Eric Petitt show off the latest enhancements to the Pulse Smartpen. How smart can a pen be? Eric takes us through both the basics, including both capturing notes and audio from whatever you are doing, transferring that information to your Mac and thirty apps that add even more functionality. New on the horizon is their iPhone app; Maureen explains how you can share Pulse Smartpen-generated materials to your iPhone via “pencasts,” and take advantage of the iPhone interface to manipulate the data.

The video version of this show is available on MacVoicesTV #1045.

In a wide-ranging conversation, publisher and Editor-in-Chief of MacTech magazine, Neil Ticktin, talks about their acquisition of MacMod.com, where modding fits in the Mac community, and why there probably won’t be many iPhone hardware mods. Neil also starts the celebration of MacTech’s 25th anniversary, and reveals why they aren’t feeling the pain many other print publications are. You’ll be surprised to hear that their readers want *more* ads, that Neil still believes that print is a superior delivery medium (and he can back it up), and what Neil thinks of the challenges of integrating technology into the educational system.

Jeff covers some of the almost-magical features included in Elements 8 that tap the full power of Photoshop, but with a much simpler interface. Find out how Recomposing, Cleaning, Effects and more can help you get more out of your photos. Then, Jeff previews his new project, and offers you the opportunity to be part of it, just by taking some pictures.

Looking for stock photography, video or audio clips, but are concerned about licensing? Kelly Thompson, Chief Operating Officer of iStockPhoto talks about the latest upgrade to their media offerings, a new “Legal Guarantee” on their entire collection. With an automatic guarantee up to $10,000, and an Extended Legal Guarantee up to $250,000 available, iStockPhoto has raised the bar on safely using stock media for your projects, especially in the microstock space. Kelly explains how the new guarantee affects both users and those who submit their media to iStockPhoto, and why they can’t implement the guarantee retroactively. Kelly also provides an introduction to Vetta, their new premium collection of “the best of the best” that is, literally, suitable for framing.

Mac User Group activist Nicholas Pyers latest project is a new resource web site for Australian groups, AppleUsers.org. Nick talks about how he is formalizing his user group support activities with a team he’s never met in person, and what kind of information they are providing to groups in their part of the world. Nick also discusses the new PDF magazine he’s producing in conjunction with the site and why he opted for that model, how he’s making their Disc-of-the-Month project manageable, and how he believes the keys to the future of user groups may start in the past and may require groups to be more than just “Mac.”

Author and digital photographer Mikkel Aaland took a group of his friends to Iceland and the result was Photoshop Lightroom Adventure: Mastering Adobe’s Next-Generation Tool for Digital Photographers. Mikkel talks about his unusual approach to Adobe’s digital photo manipulation software and how it yielded a book that both instructs and inspires. How the team provided feedback to Adobe while in Iceland, and got new beta copies of Lightroom in return, how a carload of models became part of the project and some thoughts on his other new book, Photoshop CS3 Raw: Get the Most Out of the Raw Format with Adobe Photoshop, Camera Raw, and Bridge are all included in this informal discussion.

Mikkel will be presenting in the O’Reilly booth at Macworld Expo, and tells listeners what they’ll learn when they attend his session on Wednesday afternoon, January 16.

Sharon Zardetto has updated her Take Control book on fonts to Take Control of Fonts in Leopard because even though there are fewer font issues in Leopard, there are still many aspects of font management you need to be aware of. Sharon talks about why why you might have font issues with Microsoft Office 2004 if you migrate to Leopard and how to resolve those issues, a font question Leopard asks that you only get to answer once (and you’d better get it right), and tells us which font is named for a catapult.

Terry White of Adobe joins us on “The Road to Macworld Conference & Expo” to talk about the Adobe presence at the show.

The Adobe User Group and Professional Association Breakfast is where a select audience gets to see demos of Adobe’s latest releases and even previews of new and sometimes unreleased products. Even though already sold out, you still might be able to get in, and Terry tells you how. Terry also talks about his Hands-on MacLab session, a session by Adobe Representative Adam Pratt and what show-goers can expect to see in the Adobe booth on the show floor…or maybe even at home. We also cover the latest from the Adobe User Group Program, including a new way for Adobe reps to present to your group without ever leaving home.

Jeff Gamet, the author of Designer’s Guide to Mac OS X Tiger, Contributing Editor for Design Tools Monthly and columnist for InDesign magazine and Layers magazine and the newly minted “Font Witchdoctor” is back in the second of a two-part discussion on one of his favorite topics, fonts. Jeff talks about why every Mac user would benefit from font management software, not just the pros, why Adobe Creative Suite 3 users need to pay particular attention to what font management tools work with their favorite programs, and why the newest MacBook Pro laptops represent almost no compromises for the graphics professional, especially when Leopard ships.

The Mac and its place in the world of personal computing has changed since MacAddict was introducted, and Rick explains how those changes brought their team to the name change and the refocusing of the publication. Rik talks candidly about MacAddict’s web presence and why Mac|Life’s will be quite different (especially since he will be heading it up), their new identity in contrast to the other Mac publications out there, the challenges facing print publications in today’s new media world, and when the new publication is scheduled to leave the launch pad.
