The full version of Microsoft Office Standard released in 2007 has been described as “user friendly and well organized”. The full standard version of Microsoft Office includes: Microsoft Excel, Outlook Express, Power Point, and Microsoft Word. The interface is beautiful and the menu options are easy to navigate. There is a “ribbon” on top of the window that contains all of the related buttons categorized together. At first it may appear confusing, but it is very easy to get used to. You will even see options that you may have never known about! Many people appreciate not having to deal with drop down menus. Microsoft put in a lot of effort to improve the features in Microsoft Office Standard 2007.

The Quick Launch tool bar allows you the choice of pinning certain commands for short cuts. Its default settings are already helpful and highly useful. Two of the Quick Launch default short cuts include the “save” and “undo” buttons, which of course are always helpful.

The standard version of Microsoft Office 2007 also offers business features. It is very easy to browse through the templates and to choose the one you want to work with. You can even open up the template window in internet explorer without having to close out of Microsoft Office. Microsoft.com also offers many templates that can be downloaded from the website to use with Microsoft Office.
All in all, Microsoft Office Standard 2007 has a good interface, easy features, and excellent performance. The 2007 upgrade is an improvement from the 2003 version. It is very easy to make all of your documents look their best. Whether you need to use the Microsoft Office Standard Suite for Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or Outlook, you will find the features user friendly. Microsoft also offers good customer support for its Office programs.
