Art of Office is a place for people to submit artistic and/or useful content made using Office applications (Word, Excel, or PowerPoint). Whether it’s creating pixel art using Excel (a la our Post-it Notes) developing an animated short story in PowerPoint or artistic pieces in Word, this online community allows you to share, rate, remix and discuss user-submitted content with other Mac Office users around the world.
While the Art of Office site is a creation of the Mac team at Microsoft Office, it accepts content created with either Windows or Mac Office programs. Any one can download Office documents from Art of Office and use them in their own presentations / spreadsheets. It’s a fun way to show unique applications of office product and helps people think of Mac Office in ways they may not have thought of before.
