With the release of Office , Microsoft rebranded the Office productivity suite as an integrated system dedicated to information workers.

Access introduced a backup command, the ability to view object dependencies, error checking in forms and reports among other features. Office features improvements to smart tags such as smart tag Lists, which are defined in XML, by using regular expressions and an extended type library.

Publisher introduced a Generic Color PostScript printer driver for commercial printing. Support for managed code add-ins as VSTO solutions was introduced. Office was the last version of Microsoft Office to include fully customizable toolbars and menus for all of its applications, the Office Assistant, the ability to slipstream service packs into the original setup files, Office Web Components, and the Save My Settings Wizard , which allowed users to choose whether to keep a locally cached copy of installation source files and several utility resource kit tools.

It was also the last Office version to support Windows A new picture organizer with basic editing features, called Microsoft Office Picture Manager, was included. Unlike the very "old" DOS days when there was a signature file on the floppy, there is nothing unique on the CD to identify it. The uniqueness is provided via the Product key you use to activate it. Ask at work if they have an installation CD you can borrow. There are often old disks "hiding" in storage rooms.

Try to find a local "PC Computer Club". There is almost certainly a geek or three with disks you could borrow. Find a small local computer store or repair business. They often have old versions of software because they are still supporting customers using them.

At the small repair business they may have old computers that customers had upgraded from that include OEM Office that you could now use. You could buy it online.

Be very careful who you give your money to. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help.
