Office 2007 Standard (Includes Software Assurance) (English)

Office Standard 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 Standard suite includes:

• Microsoft Office Excel 2007: A spreadsheet application with data analysis and visualization tools
• Microsoft Office Outlook 2007: A time and information manager that integrates email, calendar, contacts, and tasks
• Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007: A presentation graphics program with capabilities for text effects, sound, and animation
• Microsoft Office Word 2007: A full-featured word-processing program

The Professional Plus suite adds the Access, Communicator, InfoPath, and Publisher applications.

In the 2007 version, all of the applications in the Standard suite 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.
