Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2

摘要

The all new Office productivity suite went into public Beta in May. Other than letting you create and edit your documents, spreadsheets and presentations, the suite has a host of features that can shorten your workday. Following the trend of recent Microsoft software releases, Office 2007 has a completely redesigned UI. Things like menus, toolbars and the ever-present task-pane from Office 2003 have given way to a new approach of context-sensitive workspaces. Applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint have live previews of the changes (like fonts and colors) you're about to make before you make them. There are tons of 'quick styles' that you can apply to slides, tables, text paragraphs and the like; enabling you to change fonts, sizes, spacing, alignment and colors of these items in just one click. Since just a listing of the new features and changes to old ones through the suite will take up a few tens of pages, we're taking up the more critical ones that may not meet the eye in this review.
