What are the new features of Microsoft Office
XP?
Microsoft Office XP has many new features.
Here is a list of some of the biggest:
Voice Commands & Dictation -
In addition to mouse and keyboard methods, you can now select menu,
toolbar, and dialog box items by speaking. You can also dictate
text. This feature has some special hardware requirements.
Task Panes -
The most common tasks in Microsoft Office are now organized in panes
that display in place with your Office document. Continue working
while you search for a file using the Search task pane, pick
from a gallery of items to paste in the Office Clipboard
task pane, and quickly create new documents or open files using
the task pane that appears when you start an Office program. Other
task panes vary per Office program.
Control paste options and automatic changes
with smart tags - New
in-place buttons called "smart tags" let you immediately
adjust how information is pasted or how automatic changes occur
in your Office programs. For example, when you paste text from Microsoft
Word into Microsoft PowerPoint, a button appears next to the text.
Click the button to see a list of choices for fine-tuning the formatting
of the pasted text. Smart tags and their associated choices vary
per Office program.
Document Recovery -
Documents you are working on can be
recovered if the program encounters an error or stops responding.
The documents are displayed in the Document Recovery task pane the
next time you open the program.
Updated Clip Organizer
- Hundreds of new clips, an easy task
pane interface, as well as the same abilities to organize clips
and find new digital art on the Web are part of the updated Clip
Organizer (formerly Clip Gallery).
New Look - Microsoft
Office XP has a cleaner, simpler look to its interface. Softer colors
also contribute to this updated feel.
More convenient access to Help -
Get the full power of the Answer Wizard
in an unobtrusive package. When you enter a question about an Office
program in the Ask a Question box on the menu bar, you can see a
list of choices and read a Help topic whether you are running the
Office Assistant or not.
