Info!!!
Microsoft Office Standard 2007 offers the core Microsoft Office
applications, but significantly updated for faster, better results.
Comprised of Excel, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook, this software suite
empowers you to create high-quality documents and presentations, build
powerful spreadsheets, and manage your e-mail messages, calendar, and
contacts. With improved menus and tools, enhanced graphics and
formatting capabilities, new time and communication management tools,
and more reliability and security, Office Standard 2007 makes it easier
and more enjoyable for you to get things done at home or work.
Improved User Interface
The Office Standard 2007 user interface makes it easier for people to
use Office applications. The streamlined screen layout and dynamic
results-oriented galleries let you spend more time focused on your work
and less time trying to get the application to do what you need. As a
result, the Office Standard 2007 interface can help deliver great
looking documents, high-impact presentations, effective spreadsheets,
and powerful desktop database applications.
The Ribbon
Office Standard 2007 features the Ribbon, a new device that presents
commands organized into a set of tabs, instead of traditional menus and
toolbars. The tabs on the Ribbon display the commands that are most
relevant for each of the task areas in the applications. For example,
in Word, the tabs group commands for activities such as inserting
objects like pictures and tables, doing page layout, working with
references, doing mailings, and reviewing. For added convenience, the
Home tab provides easy access to the most frequently used commands.
Excel has a similar set of tabs that make sense for spreadsheet work
including tabs for working with formulas, managing data, and reviewing.
These tabs make it simple to access features because they organize the
commands in a way that corresponds directly to the tasks you perform in
the application you're using.
The Microsoft Office Button
Many of the most valuable features in previous versions of Office were
not about the document authoring experience and instead focused on all
the things you can do with a document: share it, protect it, print it,
publish it, and send it. Although this focus had its advantages,
previous releases lacked a single central location where a user could
see all of these capabilities in one place. Office Standard 2007's new
interface, however, bring together the capabilities of the Office
system into a single entry point: the Microsoft Office button. This
button allows for two major advantages. First, it helps users find
these valuable features. Second, it simplifies the authoring process by
allowing the Ribbon to focus on creating great documents.
Contextual Tabs
Office Standard 2007 features contextual tabs which bring important and
appropriate command options to the user's attention precisely when
they're needed most. Certain sets of commands are only relevant when
objects of a particular type are being edited. For example, the
commands for editing a chart are not relevant until a chart appears in
a spreadsheet and the user is focusing on modifying it. In current
versions of Office applications, these commands can be difficult to
find. In Excel, however, clicking on a chart causes a contextual tab to
appear with commands used for chart editing. Contextual tabs only
appear when they are needed and make it much easier to find and use the
commands needed for the operation at hand.
Galleries
Galleries are at the heart of the redesigned applications, and they
deliver a set of clear results to choose from when working on your
documents, spreadsheets, presentations, or Access databases. By
presenting a simple set of potential results, rather than a complex
dialog box with numerous options, galleries can simplify the process of
producing professional looking work. For those who prefer a greater
degree of control over the result of the operation, the traditional
dialog box interfaces are still available.
Live Preview
Office Standard 2007 features Live Preview, a fresh and innovative
technology that shows the results of applying an editing or formatting
change as you move the pointer over the results presented in a gallery.
This dynamic capability streamlines the process of laying out, editing,
and formatting so you can create excellent results with less time and
effort.
