Office Professional Plus 2007 is part of the Microsoft Office system, an integrated collection of programs, servers, and services designed to work together to enable optimized information work. The Professional Plus suite includes:

Microsoft Office Access 2007: A relational database management system that helps information workers track and report information
Microsoft Office Communicator 2007: A unified communications client that uses options such as instant messaging (IM), voice, and video to communicate between locations or time zones
Microsoft Office Excel 2007: A spreadsheet application with data analysis and visualization tools
Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007: An information-gathering program using electronic forms deployed through Web browsers, email messages, or mobile devices
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007: A time and information manager that integrates email, calendar, contacts, and tasks
Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007: A presentation graphics program with capabilities for text effects, sound, and animation
Microsoft Office Publisher 2007: A desktop publishing program that allows people with basic layout skills to create a wide variety of publications for desktop printing, commercial printing, email distribution, or viewing on the Web
Microsoft Office Word 2007: A full-featured word-processing program

In the 2007 version, Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word have a new user interface. For example, menus and toolbars are replaced by the Ribbon, a set of tabs that display commands that apply to particular types of tasks. Some tabs are contextual, appearing only when a relevant task is being performed. Improved integration with Windows SharePoint Services helps to reduce the complexity of working together on documents through centralized document storage, version tracking, and feedback management.
