Manufacturer's Description
Microsoft Office XP Standard
Microsoft says the "XP" in Office XP stands for "experience" - as in a whole new experience in productivity, ease of use, and creative freedom delivered by the world's premiere office software suite. Office XP includes Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint. New functionality makes your day-to-day tasks flow faster and easier, while other features make it easier to access information on the Web, in your organization, or on your computer. Plus, you'll enjoy greater levels of reliability, data recovery, and security than you've ever known. On the collaborative level, it's easier for teams to share information and work together. New tools facilitate reviewing, comparing, and merging documents via e-mail. There are new ways to schedule meetings, share information on the Web, and improve response time. At the organizational level new features help your organization to build and edit collaborative solutions, and to lower costs associated with deploying, managing, and administering Office applications. A streamlined interface presents only the elements you need. New Smart Tags buttons pop up to show you your options when you need them, such as when you make an error in an Excel formula or when Word corrects an action. Task Panes give you fast, easy access to important tasks like performing searches, opening or starting a new document, viewing the contents of the clipboard, formatting your documents and presentations, or even accessing translation and template services via the Web. Speech recognition is built right into Office XP, as is the ability to upload handwritten notes from your handheld device. Office Document Imaging functionality lets you scan and incorporate text from multipage printed documents. You can compress pictures, ask questions without having to launch the Answer Wizard or Office Assistant, save documents to a file cabinet on the Internet, digitally sign entire documents, search folders without leaving documents, and much more.
