- Word contains familiar document and connectivity features — text and page formatting, multiple views, editing tools, printing and save options, graphics, and document control — and adds increased emphasis on shared markup capabilities, rights management, and interactivity with other programs.
- Excel allows users to enter, import, analyze and track data and to use the data to generate charts and graphs, create preformatted templates — even output the data to the Web.
- Powerpoint allows users to create slide-show presentations with text, graphics, and multimedia elements. Users can run the presentation live, publish it on the Web, or create a CD with a built-in viewer program.
- Outlook provides a single, integrated solution for organizing and managing digital communication tools such as email and instant messaging, along with all day-to-day information such as calendars, contacts, task lists, and notes.
