It Only Keeps Getting Better

Strengths: Several new and improved formatting features.

Weaknesses: Absence of Outlook

You can create great-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations with the Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007. This great software package consists of MS Word 2007, MS Excel 2007 spreadsheet software, MS OneNote 2007 digital notebook and MS PowerPoint 2007 presentation software. This package is extremely useful for making your work and presentations stand out.

Microsoft Office Word 2007 has included various modern and enhanced formatting galleries and graphics. If there is a system failure while working on a new document, you don’t have to worry about losing your data. The automatic document recovery tool will retrieve it. With respect to privacy and security issues, the new Document Inspector tool detects and removes personally identifiable information, comments and tracked changes from documents.

Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 comes with context-sensitive tabs and easy-to-use galleries. You will find it easy to include tables and graphics in your documents. Microsoft Office Excel 2007 has the visual conditional formatting tool with new data bars, more colourful gradients and icons for formatting data. You can use MS OneNote 2007 software as a digital notebook to gather, organize, and search for information.

I would have appreciated the inclusion of Microsoft Office Outlook in this package. I personally feel that this absent feature far outweighs the numerous advantages that this software offers.
