Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate


Microsoft has once again the wheel in an ambitious attempt by one of the most innovative and ambitious, Office-to-date packages. In addition to the major revision of the interface, Microsoft has adopted a series of new features and inclusions not only increase productivity but to ensure that the user has all the tools, programs and utilities available in a package. Even if users must learn the new interface of Microsoft Office, the learning curve is a lower price in relation to the quality of programs available are:

# Word 2007
# Excel 2007
# PowerPoint 2007
# Publisher 2007
# Access 2007
# Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager
# OneNote 2007
# InfoPath 2007
# Groove 2007

Microsoft Office Standard 2007 provides significantly different interfaces and new file formats. The new office also provides, unlike its predecessors, is capable of intense love-hate responses from users Funke. This is not to upgrade for all patients want to try the latest tools to learn and ready, most of what you already know, the Office, you can meet the challenge of Microsoft Office 2007 . Word, Excel and PowerPoint 2007, the most polished presentations and documents, and the new schedule Outlook functions make it a hub of communication practice. Professionals who want to impress clients and colleagues, reports, tables, and Dia-Shows here to find an upgrade valid. First Office users have a single user as a veteran of their stocks.

However, if you have only a fraction of what you think or propose that the master of Office 2003 was painful enough, you can use Office 2007 on the shelf or try it free for the first two months. We believe that the power-user, which dominates the corners and angles of older versions of the curse of the learning curve steep. But beware: the new era of Office also those who do not update, and is a conversion tool for older versions of Office 2007 to open Office Open XML standard files.


Office 2007 offers complex functions, you do not find elsewhere. But that is not well in important areas. Application integration is not as good as we hoped, and there is no one-click way to work with others to work without resorting to an online purchase Microsoft Groove Collaboration Tool or working in a server environment. The introduction of Microsoft Office 2007, as an increasing number of competing tools are easier and cheaper (if not available) and use the same basic functions. Strangely, is that despite his string of Windows Live and Office Live Services, Microsoft has opted to build a bridge over the Web for all users of Office.

Micro-enterprises
We have Microsoft Office Standard 2007, with a significant cost $ 399 or $ 239 for an upgrade. This suite includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook, next to Office Tools, language and images to manage and a diagnostic tool for use in the event of a fall. Households that do not need desktop e-mail must be for Office Home & Student at $ 149 (no upgrade option), a new suite is about Office 2003 on students and teachers, but with Outlook instead of OneNote. The Basic package, Word, Excel and Outlook, only sold pre-installed on computers by producers, the Microsoft software license contracts. At $ 449 ($ 279 upgrade), Microsoft Office Small Business 2007 costs $ 50 less than the Professional Edition includes the Access database program. Only firms and $ 679 ($ 539 upgrade) Ultimate Edition with the new Groove tool. And, curiously, the Enterprise Edition and Professional Plus does not have the Business Contact Manager component of Outlook, business users should for their sales efforts.

Installation
The installation of Microsoft Office is a breeze, and are automatically logged on our test machine (Vista Ultimate and Windows XP Professional) with no problem. In Vista, the installation was about 10 minutes or so, probably very quickly.
On XP computers, the Office shall invite the user to the previous version, and once installation is complete, we were with a wonderful new dynamic interface, allowing the user to select a variety of systems (or leaves).

The most important of the new office, the new Ribbon interface, which is a combination of a tool-bar and the menu system. Although the difference in previous incarnations, the new band, the user can now access a number of options, until now, hidden near the origin of the menu system office.

In short, the group removes the ideas of menus and toolbars and integrate features of both systems in a very accessible tabs.

System Requirements

- Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack (SP) 2 or later or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (or later) is required.

-500 megahertz (MHz) or higher, 256 megabytes (MB) of RAM or more DVD-ROM 1 gigahertz (GHz) and 512 MB of RAM or more recommended for Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager.

-2 gigabytes (GB) for installation, some of that space is available after installation if the original download package is removed from the hard disk.

The good:
Previously hard to find, now provides even easier to explore the basic concepts of desktop publishing tools Word Excel formulas are easier to pay, PowerPoint presentations are more attractive; Outlook mission and improve time management, a Increased integration in applications, small and application file, new file formats are easier to store, if they are damaged, the security of documents is very simple.

The Bottom Line:
Poor dramatic changes in demand a long learning curve during the update, the new interface is not always intuitive, contextual tabs and style galleries can close the users of Office 2000 to 2003, the converter open Office 2007 files, no easy way to record work on the Internet.


Overall, Microsoft Office Standard 2007 is an upgrade worthwhile, if you need to sleeker-documents and presentations to share with others, and Outlook is now more than ever, but you can Stick with your software you do not feel it's not all.

Specifications:
Number of licenses: 3 computers in a home, the license type: Complete package Operating System: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 or later, Microsoft Windows Server 2003 or later. File Format

By default, file extensions are changed, for example. doc is. docx,. xls is. xlsx, and so on. These files are compressed, so less space on your hard drive. They are the new OpenXML format from Microsoft. On the other hand, if you someone with an earlier version of Office, you receive a message, it Download free converter from Microsoft, they are not as they are. Tell them at this time because it is the encounter with this situation more and more people to upgrade to the new version.

The new format is not compatible with the Open Document Format (ODF) of the Open Source products such as OpenOffice.org 2.0 (yes, the name of the program through their website). For ODF-OpenXML converter.You may be documents in Adobe Acrobat PDF, so far, to get a decent, without conversion or purchase of the full functionality of Adobe Acrobat (Note that the Acrobat "see in the screenshots of the menu is the full version, I have later, but it is well with Office.
