of Microsoft Office 2007 editions.
Create High-Quality Documents
Home and Student 2007 gives you access to updated graphics,
formatting galleries, and an intuitive user interface that
exposes commonly used commands. These features enable you to
easily produce high-quality documents that will make you proud.
Improved picture, charting, and graphics tools help you produce
better-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations more
quickly, while a large library of standard charts, quick
formatting tools, and SmartArt diagrams make it easy to include
rich and stunning visuals and charts. The results-oriented user
interface makes it easier for you to find and use product
features so you can enhance your documents according to your
specifications. More stable bullets and numbers, SmartArt
diagrams, and graphics and charting galleries provide you with a
wealth of other formatting choices. Meanwhile, document themes
help ensure a consistent appearance among the documents you
create in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, to make working across the
programs you use most more convenient. PowerPoint also features
context-sensitive tabs and easy-to-use galleries that make it
simple for you to include tables and other graphics in your
documents.
Enhanced Reliability and Security Features
With an improved automatic Document Recovery tool and the new
Document Inspector tool for removing personally identifiable
information from your documents, Home and Student 2007 helps you
work with more confidence and security. Thanks to these two
features, you'll never have to worry about losing documents after
a system failure or exposing your personal identification
information or unwanted comments to others before sharing your
documents.
User-Friendly Operation
Packed with innovative features and improvements, Home and
Student 2007 has a streamlined interface and an enhanced Help
system, including online tutorials with step-by-step
instructions, so you can quickly learn the product and find the
answers to your questions. In addition, command tabs on the
results-oriented Ribbon reveal commonly used commands that
previously appeared only in lengthy drop-down menus. The Help
system also offers a smooth transition between the Help menu in
the Microsoft Office system and Help on the Internet (when
connected). Larger, more informative ScreenTips provide help
concerning commands, and the command tabs themselves are
context-sensitive, changing automatically depending upon the task
that you are trying to complete, so you won't waste time figuring
out the appropriate command. When you need more guidance, online
tutorials provide step-by-step instructions for common tasks.
Organize Notes and Information
Home and Student 2007 includes OneNote, a digital that
helps you gather, organize, and search many types of information
in one place. This means you can consolidate typed text, images,
audio and video s, digital handwritten notes, Web
clippings, and more on the same page. OneNote also provides
flexible note-taking tools to help you organize information the
way you want. Categorize important projects or information in a
way that makes sense to you, using an easy-to-use layout of
s, sections, and pages. Type or organize content anywhere
on the page and track important items with customisable note
tags. To help keep you on track, the powerful Instant Search
feature helps you to find information you are looking for
quickly. With it you can even search handwritten notes, the text
in images and scanned documents, and spoken words in audio
s.
Preview Changes and Spot Trends
Home and Student 2007 saves you time by making it easier to
format your Office documents with Live Preview. This tool lets
you quickly preview proposed changes to your document while
you're working on it without having to repeatedly search through
layers of menus. Taking a look at your proposed formatting before
committing to it lets you experiment without risk and can help
minimize future edits. Excel features highly visual conditional
formatting with new data bars, more colourful gradients, and
icons that you can use to format data based on specific rules, so
you can more easily identify key data trends, which can help you
study and prepare written papers or reports.
Create and Save Custom Slide Layouts
PowerPoint lets you create presentations with ease using
pre-built and user-defined custom slide layouts. With the custom
layout feature you can quickly create the precise layout you
envision without being bound by one of the prepackaged, standard
layouts. You can then save your custom layout for use in future
presentations.
Broader Distribution of Your Documents
Home and Student 2007's features aren't limited to the work you
do at home; they extend to broader distribution of your documents
and presentations. New support for Portable Document Format (PDF)
and XML Paper Specification (XPS) file formats helps ensure
increased distribution and sharing of your documents with users
on any platform. This is particularly ideal for either sharing
documents with friends and families, or for presenting
information and assignments in a computer-integrated class.
