Convert your Microsoft Outlook calendar to a Visio calendar so it can be richly formatted and easily shared with others.

The database designed for you

As the world gets increasingly data-driven, having the tools that can sort and make sense of all the information is a huge advantage. With Access 2007, you have the means to track, report, share information (through Sharepoint Services) and, ultimately, sharpen your decision making. With a library of pre-built tracking applications (database solutions), you don’t need database knowledge or specialized programming skills. You only need to realize that the sooner you get Access, the more professional your operations will become.

Forecasting success

Charting them or graphing them, adding them up or breaking them down, the numbers make far more sense when you rely on Excel 2007 to keep your data and financials in order. Professionals across a broad spectrum — not only financial experts — rely on this spreadsheet program to record, calculate and crunch key data. Excel lets you build formulas, explore scenarios, develop projections and integrate other programs from the Office suite into your spreadsheets. It makes sense of the numbers so you can communicate your plans and possibilities to others with authority.

This collaboration software helps teams work on projects and share information wherever they’re located. Workspaces, tools and information are stored right on your computer while automatic synchronization keeps you and your team up to date. Share information, revise on the fly and know that everyone is always on the same page.

Make your point with power

When you want your audience to sit up and take notice, make a big impression with PowerPoint 2007. Long acknowledged as the best presentation software available, PowerPoint continues to bring style and substance together within one easy, adaptable and professional package. Draw from a rich archive of themes and templates, or easily develop your own unique look from scratch. Drop in images and spreadsheets, alter styles with a simple click and re-work presentation timing with no fuss. It’s all so simple and remarkably compelling when you start with PowerPoint 2007.

The first word in communication

You must convey your ideas clearly and professionally to cut through information overload. That’s why Word 2007 is key for so many people at home or in the office. Word gives users an immediate advantage, whether they’re starting from scratch or selecting from a range of outstanding templates. Easy to use, easier to understand, this powerful program gives style and panache to any document that you want to develop.
