MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007

REVIEW

Microsoft a history of large, successful product development, not only thanks to the Operating Systems they release, but also due to the commercial Office packages. Microsoft Office Professional 2007 represents the evolution of the classic way of working, creating innovation with the visual aspect and then charming users with the options and features it offers. The twelfth Office edition appears after a gap of 4 years without any new releases for one of the main Microsoft franchises. With the 2007 version, the Redmond Company includes general improvements for all the included applications, as well as some new ones like Groove for the Ultimate version.

The professional version of this Office package includes the basic software components for all kinds of office work, as well as some applications that will enhance and supply the download of external programs. In this edition, you will find Microsoft Word, Excel,PowerPoint and additionally Microsoft Publisher and Access. Each one of these applications has become a standard in the software industry, being complete programs that will solve the necessities in these fields. The Office product includes all the elements needed to run the installation and other Microsoft software to make the most of your computer like SQL Server Express and .NET Framework 2.

When you put your hands on the suite for the first time, you will see that the design has changed completely to offer an interface with fewer elements to show at the same time. This Fluent User Interface, later known as Ribbon UI, offers the possibility of changing the options that appear on the upper side of the program you are using. This way, any of the applications that are part of MS Office Professional 2007 can be customized according to their main uses in an easier way for you.

Compatible formats have changed along with the times. Although the old .ppt, .xls or .doc formats are still being used; the new documents based on the open XML format offer a better way to work. Efficiency is important, and with this open type of archive, you can make sure they can be used even if it gets corrupted, thanks to the way the information is saved in different modules within the same archive. This also makes the files a bit smaller than older formats, but bear in mind that they won’t be compatible with previous Office versions unless they download a compatible addon to enable the capability read and modify of these archives.

Although this is one of the most complete editions of Office 2007, there are some elements such as OneNote that are missing. The dynamic performance enhances your productivity with any of the available utilities so, in general terms, the functionality of this package enhances any of the previous Office suites. Customize all your documents in a powerful environment providing the indispensable tools for you.

Meet the Ribbon in the screen

The key new feature of this interface comes when you have to check advanced functions that with previous editions, were only available through difficult menus. In this sense,Microsoft has managed to gather all the options in different tabs that offer the main functions and advanced options. For those users that have never seen something similar may be a bit shocked leaving behind the old menu style that was simpler, but once you get used to it, you'll find it works better, not only for its speed but also its usability.

Almost all of the tools included in Microsoft Office Professional 2007 have the same Ribbon interface style, but it is specifically customized depending on the functions you need for the program. For example, in case of Microsoft Word, you have the usual Insert, References, and Page Layout tabs as well as the main general menu clicking on the Microsoft Office Professional 2007 icon located at the left side and the possibility of managing the Add-Ins that you can download and install as you need for increasing the application’s functions. If you select one of these tabs, a new section below will appear with all the relevant functions, getting rid of the old contextual menus.

Ribbon Interface gives the importance to what really matters; that is the work space

One of the key features of this Ribbon Interface is that it gives the importance to what really matters; that is the work space, optimizing this space by keeping menus to the minimum size possible with a clean view. Although this interface makes the work space seem to be a little smaller when you have it fully deployed, you can minimize its size with an option located in the Quick Access toolbar. Additionally, you can change the options the Fluent User Interface offers by default editing each part. This way you can configure almost everything, making this one of the most dynamic and customizable Office editions.

Word, write this way

Microsoft Word is probably the quintessence of the Office package for the average user. This powerful text processor has been physically changed just like the rest of its software partners, but it also includes some new options to enhance the writing process, such as making changes immediately. Options like the Live Preview, which allows you to check how a format change will affect to your text just by passing the mouse arrow over the style you want, makes it quicker to check out possible changes in Word instantly, instead of wasting time by modifying the document directly.

The overall engine has been improved, offering a better way of working without delays and smoothly enough to guarantee less annoyances

The spell checker function has been improved adding a new function, highlighted with a blue underline, which warns about contextual misuses of correctly spelled words. This way, the program, can efficiently correct homophone words that may seem equal for speakers such as ‘to’ and ‘too’ or ‘lose’ and ‘loose’ in a sentence. Microsoft Word has also integrated a translation tool for U.S. English, French and International Spanish in the default pack, with more languages able to be added when additional complements are downloaded free with the official support.
