Word 2000 lets you
create your own personal stationary via e-mail with customized font settings, backgrounds
and themes. You can also create personalized graphics to use as bullets. And you can turn
off features that aren't compatible with older versions of Word.
Excel 2000 makes cutting and pasting information into
tables much easier. In fact, you can drag and drop tables published on the Internet
directly into Excel. Excel 2000 also has many Word features, such as AutoFill, which will
finish typing commonly used words once you begin typing them.
PowerPoint 2000 enables you to publish your work on
the Internet with a mouse click in the same way Word 2000 and Excel 2000 do. And you can
incorporate theme graphics in your presentations so they have the same look as your Web
site and your e-mail, for example.
Outlook 2000 lets you open Web pages inside an e-mail
message. Rather than having to click on a "hot" address or icon and launch your
browser, it's all right there inside your e-mail. In the Outlook 2000 toolbar, you can
post links to favorite Web pages, documents or applications. And with the new Internet
Group Scheduling feature, you can schedule meetings over the Internet.
Publisher 2000 is tightly integrated with other Office
features, so the feel will be very familiar. Shortcuts and toolbars are identical to those
in other Office components, and typing and text editing mirrors Microsoft Word. If you're
interested in mail merge, you'll be using the familiar Microsoft Outlook contact list. And
if you've used Publisher before, you'll notice that improved zooming, scrolling and page
navigation make it easier to maneuver through documents.
Access 2000 natively integrates with Microsoft SQL™
Server, Microsoft's relational database management system. You can take advantage of the
easy-to-use Microsoft Access interface to create a database with the scalability of SQL
Server.
PhotoDraw 2000 combines photo editing and illustration
in a single program to eliminate the need for multiple graphics programs. It has a
complete set of graphic editing tools, more than 300 professionally designed business
templates and 20,000 high-quality photos and backgrounds, as well as the complete
Microsoft Clip Gallery.
FrontPage 2000 lets you use Web collaboration and
information-sharing features. New themes-more than 60 have been added-offer professionally
designed Web sites that can be customized and modified. FrontPage 2000 is also tightly
integrated with Office 2000, offering views and editing features common to other Office
applications.
FrontPage 2000 also makes it easier to import files to HTML
from other applications while preserving the original formatting-everything from
capitalization to existing white space.
