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.
