Office Professional Plus 2007 is part of the Microsoft Office system, an integrated collection of programs, servers, and services designed to work together to enable optimized information work.

The Professional Plus suite includes:

• Microsoft Office Access 2007: A relational database management system that helps information workers track and report information
• Microsoft Office Communicator 2007: A unified communications client that works in conjunction with Office Communications Server 2007 to enable users to talk to each other using instant messaging (IM), voice, or video and to switch back and forth between modes

The Standard suite offers the core applications Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word.

In the 2007 version, Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word have a new user interface. For example, menus and toolbars are replaced by the Ribbon, a set of tabs that display commands that apply to particular types of tasks. Some tabs are contextual, appearing only when a relevant task is being performed.

Improved integration with Windows SharePoint Services helps to reduce the complexity of working together on documents through centralized document storage, version tracking, and feedback management.

Here are some notable features of this product:

• Office Themes help ensure a consistent appearance when you create Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations.
• SmartArt diagramming and enhanced charting capabilities make it easy to create professional-looking diagrams and charts. In addition, it is now easy to apply shading, reflections, glow, transparency, and other 3-D effects.
• The Document Inspector feature makes it easy to remove "invisible" information such as comments, hidden text, and properties in Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, so work can be shared with confidence.
• A free add-on from Microsoft allows users of most Office applications to save or export files as PDF or XPS documents.
