At the core of the Microsoft Office system are the Microsoft Office suites, which deliver the core desktop productivity tools. New features in these programs enhance how employees can work with one another, partners, and customers, and how organizations capture and use information. In addition to the core desktop editions, the 2007 release includes new programs, servers, and services that build on the productivity software skills your employees already possess.

Used together, the Microsoft Office system can help you address business needs ranging from personal productivity management to complex project management.

The 2007 release presents newly designed menus and toolbars as well as new features that businesses and individual computer users can use to complete tasks more quickly and easily.

As more and more features and functionality to the applications, it has become more challenging for people to find the software capabilities. For example, Word 1.0 only had about 100 commands, and by using the menus you could see everything you could do. In comparison, Office Word 2007 has more than 1,500 commands, many of which can be difficult to find because they are buried in layers of menus. That element of discoverability is just one of the key issues addressed by the new menus and toolbars.

Office Word 2007 includes new tools that help you create more professional-looking documents in less time, build documents more easily from frequently used content, and produce professional-looking letters, proposals, datasheets, and other documents fast. Quick formatting capabilities help you rapidly apply a new look and feel to your documents, and the new Live Preview capabilities give you a quick look at any changes you make.

Office Outlook 2007 includes a new category coloring feature that helps you locate, manage, prioritize, and respond to e-mail messages more easily. Office Outlook 2007 also provides improved junk mail and anti-phishing technologies that help you filter out undesirable items.

Office Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager can help you manage your marketing efforts more efficiently. For example, you can use it to create custom mailing lists and personalize print or online marketing materials created in Office Publisher 2007 or Office Word 2007. You can also use Office Outlook 2007 to track customer responses and assess the overall effectiveness of your marketing campaigns to help plan future campaigns.
