What's New in Office 2003?

Introducing Microsoft Office 2003

Microsoft Office 2003 is the latest version of the popular Office application suite. Microsoft Office 2003 comes in different editions that include a different set of Office applications. For example, the Microsoft Office Professional Edition, which we cover in this book, includes Word 2003, Excel 2003, PowerPoint 2003, Outlook 2003 with the Business Contact Manager, Publisher, and Access 2003.........more

No matter which edition of Office you use, you are provided with different software applications that you can use to tackle a large variety of business and personal tasks on the computer. For example, Word allows you to create reports, letters, and other documents, and Excel allows you to tackle spreadsheets, invoices, and do a wide variety of number-crunching tasks. Each application provides a specialized set of tools and environments for addressing your productivity needs.

Microsoft Office 2003 offers a number of new enhancements to the Office suite. This lesson serves as a quick overview of some of these new features. Other new features are highlighted in Part II of the book ("Migrating to Office 2003"). You will also use some new features as you explore each of the Office applications discussed in this book.

Office 2003 and the Document Workspace

An exciting new feature, the Document Workspace, allows users who don't have the option of sharing documents on a corporate network to collaborate on the Web. The Document Workspace is actually an extension of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services, which allows you to store documents for collaboration on a SharePoint server. Multiple users can access the document in the shared workspace, and tasks can be assigned associated with the collaborative effort.

The Document Workspace is a fairly advanced feature offered by Office 2003, so the full details related to the use of this powerful feature are beyond the scope of this introduction. However, creating a new workspace is surprisingly easy. It does, however, require that you are connected to the Internet and have access to a SharePoint server maintained by your company or you have subscribed to a SharePoint hosting service such as those offered by Microsoft. Let's take a look at creating a Document Workspace in Microsoft Word.
