c


is an office suite of inter-related desktop applications, servers and services for

the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems, introduced by Microsoft in 1989. Initially a
marketing term for a bundled set of applications, the first version of Office contained Microsoft
Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over the years, Office applications have grown
substantially closer with shared features such as a common spell checker,OLE data integration and
Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also positions Office as a
development platform for line-of-business software under the Office Business Applications brand.
According to Forrester Research, as of June 2009, some version of Microsoft Office is used in 80%
of enterprises, with 64% of enterprises using Office 2007.[2]

The current versions are Office 2010 for Windows, released on June 15, 2010;[3] and Office 2011 for
Mac OS X, released October 26, 2010.[4]

 [5] started in October 1990 as a bundle of three applications
designed for Microsoft Windows 3.0: Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1, Microsoft Excel for Windows
2.0, and Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 2.0.[6]

 c


  updated the suite with Microsoft Excel 3.0.[7]

 c


 [8] added Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 2.1 to the bundle.[9]

 c


 ,[10] released in August 1992,[11] contained Word 2.0, Excel
4.0, PowerPoint 3.0 and Mail 3.0. It was the first version of Office to be also released on CD-
ROM.[12] In 1993,  c

  [13] was released, which added Microsoft
Access 1.1.[14]

In 1994, c

 was released containing Word 6.0, Excel 4.0, PowerPoint 3.0 and
Mail. Word was called Word 6.0 as there were already Macintosh versions of Word 3, 4 and 5 (Excel
and PowerPoint were already numbered the same as the Macintosh versions).

c

 was released as the last 16-bit version, containing Word 6.0, Excel 5.0,
PowerPoint 4.0. Office 4.3 is the last version to support Windows 3.x, Windows NT 3.1 and Windows
NT 3.5. Windows NT 3.51 was supported up to and including Office 97.

c

 was released in August 1995. Again, the version numbers were altered to
create parity across the suite ² every program was called version 7.0 meaning all but Word missed
out versions. It was designed as a fully 32-bit version to match Windows 95. Office 95 was available
in two versions, Office 95 Standard and Office 95 Professional. The standard version consisted of
Word 7.0, Excel 7.0, PowerPoint 7.0, and Schedule+ 7.0. The professional edition contained all of
the items in the standard version plus Access 7.0. If the professional version was purchased in CD-
ROMform, it also included Bookshelf.
c

 (Office 8.0), a major milestone release which included hundreds of new
features and improvements, introduced command bars, a paradigm in which menus
and toolbars were made more similar in capability and visual design. Office 97 also featured Natural
Language Systems and grammar checking. Office 97 was the first version of Office to include
the Office Assistant.

c

 (Office 9.0) introduced adaptive menus, where little-used options were
hidden from the user. It also introduced a new security feature, built around digital signatures, to
diminish the threat of macro viruses. Office 2000 automatically trusts macros (written in VBA 6) that
were digitally signed from authors who have been previously designated as trusted. Office 2000 is
the last version to support Windows 95.

c

 (Office 10.0 or Office 2002) was released in conjunction with Windows XP, and
was a major upgrade with numerous enhancements and changes over Office 2000. Office XP
introduced the Safe Mode feature, which allows applications such as Outlook to boot when it might
otherwise fail. Safe Mode enables Office to detect and either repair or bypass the source of the
problem, such as a corrupted registry or a faulty add-in. Smart tag is a technology introduced with
Office XP. Some smart tags operate based on user activity, such as helping with typing errors.
These smart tags are supplied with the products, and are not programmable. For developers,
though, there is the ability to create custom smart tags. In Office XP, custom smart tags could work
only in Word and Excel. Microsoft Office XP includes integrated voice command and text dictation
capabilities, as well as handwriting recognition. Office XP is the last version to support Windows
98, ME and NT 4.0. It was the first version to require Product Activation as an anti-piracy measure,
which attracted widespread controversy.[15]

c

 (Office 11.0) was released in 2003. It featured a new logo. Two new
applications made their debut in Office 2003: Microsoft InfoPath and OneNote. It is the first version
to use Windows XP style icons. Outlook 2003 provides improved functionality in many areas,
including Kerberos authentication, RPC over HTTP, Cached Exchange Mode, and an improved junk
mail filter. 2003 is the last Office version to support Windows 2000.

c

 (Office 12.0) was released in 2007. Office 2007's new features include a
new graphical user interface called the Fluent User Interface[16], replacing the menus and toolbars
that have been the cornerstone of Office since its inception with a tabbed toolbar, known as
the Ribbon; new XML-based file formats called Office Open XML; and the inclusion of Groove,
a collaborative software application.[17]

c

 (Office 14.0) was finalized on April 16, 2010, and was made available to
consumers on June 15, 2010.[1] Office 2010 was given the version number 14.0, to avoid the version
number 13.0 due to superstition relating to the number thirteen.[18] The main features of Office 2010
include the backstage file menu, new collaboration tools, a customizable ribbon, protected view and
a navigation pane. Microsoft Office 2010 also features a new logo, which is similar to the 2007 logo,
except in gold, and with a slightly modified shape.[19]
[edit]c
  
Prior to packaging its various office-type Macintosh software applications into Office, Microsoft
released Mac versions of Word 1.0 in 1984, the first year of the Macintosh computer; Excel 1.0 in
1985; and PowerPoint 1.0 in 1987.[20] Microsoft does not include its Access database application in
Office for Mac.

Microsoft has noted that some features are added to Office for Mac before they appear in Windows
versions, such as Office for Mac 2001's Office Project Gallery and PowerPoint Movie feature, which
allows users to save presentations as QuickTime movies.[21][22] However, Microsoft Office for Mac
has been long criticized for its lack of support of Unicode and right-to-left languages,
notably Arabicand Hebrew.[23][24]

 c

was introduced for Macintosh in 1989, before Office was released for
Windows.[25] It included Word 4.0, Excel 2.2, PowerPoint 2.01, and Mail 1.37.[20][26] It was originally a
limited-time promotion but later became a regular product. With the release of Office on CD-ROM
later that year, Microsoft became the first major Mac publisher to put its applications on CD-ROM.[27]

c

c
was released in 1991 and included the updated Excel 3.0, the first
application to support Apple¶s System 7 operating system.[20]

c

c
was released in 1992. It included Word 5.0, Excel 4.0, and
PowerPoint 3.0. Excel 4.0 was the first application to support the new AppleScript.[20]

c

c
was released in 1994. (Version 4.0 was skipped to synchronize
version numbers with Office for Windows.) Version 4.2 included Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint
4.0, and Mail 3.2.[28] It was the first Office suite for the Power Macintosh.[20] Its user interface was
identical to Office 4.2 for Windows,[29] leading many customers to comment that it wasn't Mac-like
enough.[21]The final release for Mac 68K was Office 4.2.1, which updated Word to version 6.0.1,
somewhat improving its performance.

c

c
    was unveiled at MacWorld Expo/San Francisco in 1998. It

introduced the Internet Explorer 4.0 web browser and Outlook Express, an Internet e-
mail client andusenet newsgroup reader.[30] Office 98 was re-engineered by Microsoft's Macintosh
Business Unit to satisfy customers' desire for software they felt was more Mac-like.[21] It
included drag±and-dropinstallation, self-repairing applications and Quick Thesaurus, before such
features were available in Office for Windows. It also was the first version to
support QuickTime movies.[21]

c

, launched in 2000, was the last Office suite for the classic Mac OS; it
required Mac OS 8, although version 8.5 or later was recommended. Office 2001
introduced Entourage, an e-mail client that included information management tools such as a
calendar, an address book, task lists and notes.[22]

c

 was released in 2001 for the new Mac OS X platform.[31]

c

c
was released in 2004.[32]

c

c
was released in 2008. It was the first Office for Mac suite that was
a universal binary, running natively on both Intel- and PowerPC-based Macs, and it supported Office
Open XML file formats first introduced in Office 2007 for Windows.[20] Five months after it was
released, Microsoft said that Office 2008 was "selling faster than any previous version of Office for
Mac in the past 19 years" and affirmed "its commitment to future products for the Mac."[33]

c

c
 was released on October 26, 2010,[4] and features a Mac version of
Outlook to replace the Entourage email client. This Mac version of Outlook is intended to make the
Mac version of Office work better with Microsoft's Exchange server and with those using Office for
Windows.[34] Office 2011 includes a Mac-based Ribbon similar to Office for Windows.

Microsoft Word is a word processor and was previously considered to be the main program in Office.
Its proprietary DOC format is considered a   standard, although Word 2007 can also use a
new XML-based, Microsoft Office-optimized format called .DOCX which has been standardized
by Ecma International as Office Open XML and its SP2 update will support ODF and PDF.[35] Word
is also available in some editions of Microsoft Works. It is available for the Windows and Mac
platforms. The first version of Word, released in the autumn of 1983, was for the MS-DOS operating
system and had the distinction of introducing the mouse to a broad population. Word 1.0 could be
purchased with a bundled mouse, though none was required. Following the precedents of LisaWrite
and MacWrite, Word for Macintosh attempted to add closer WYSIWYG features into its package.
Word for Mac was released in 1985. Word for Mac was the first graphical version of Microsoft Word.
Despite its bugginess, It became one of the most popular Mac applications.

Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program which originally competed with the dominant Lotus 1-2-3,
but eventually outsold it. It is available for the Windows and Mac platforms. Microsoft released the
first version of Excel for the Mac in 1985, and the first Windows version (numbered 2.05 to line up
with the Mac and bundled with a standalone Windows run-time environment) in November 1987.

Microsoft Outlook (not to be confused with Outlook Express) is a personal information

manager and e-mail communication software. The replacement for Windows Messaging, Microsoft
Mail andSchedule+ starting in Office 97, it includes an e-mail client, calendar, task manager and
address book.

On the Mac, Microsoft offered several versions of Outlook in the late 1990s, but only for use
with Microsoft Exchange Server. In Office 2001, it introduced an alternate application with a slightly
different feature set called Microsoft Entourage. It reintroduced Outlook in Office 2011, replacing
Entourage.[36]

[edit]Common features
Most versions of Microsoft Office (including Office 97 and later) use their own widget set and do not
exactly match the native operating system. This is most apparent in Microsoft Office XP and 2003,
where the standard menus were replaced with a colored flat looking, shadowed menu style. The
user interface of a particular version of Microsoft Office often heavily influences a subsequent
version of Microsoft Windows. For example, the toolbar, colored buttons and the gray-colored '3D'
look of Office 4.3 were added to Windows 95. The Ribbon, introduced in Office 2007, has been
incorporated into several applications bundled with Windows 7.

Users of Microsoft Office may access external data via connection-specifications saved in "Office
Data Connection" (.odc) files.[38]

Both Windows and Office use "Service Packs" to update software, Office used to release non-
cumulative "Service Releases", which were discontinued after Office 2000 Service Release 1.

Programs in past versions of Office often contained substantial Easter eggs. For example, Excel 97
contained a reasonably functional flight-simulator. Versions  &  Office XP have not
contained any easter eggs in the name of Trustworthy Computing.

[edit]File formats and metadata

Microsoft Office prior to Office 2007 used proprietary file formats. This forced users who share data
to adopt the same software platform.[39] In 2008, Microsoft made the entire documentation for the
binary Office formats freely available for download and granted any possible patents rights for use or
implementations of those binary format for free under the Open Specification Promise.[40] Previously,
Microsoft had supplied such documentation freely but only on request.

Starting with Office 2007, the default file format has been Office Open XML, which has been
standardized and published by Ecma International and by ISO/IEC. Microsoft has granted patent
rights to the formats technology under the Open Specification Promise[41] and has made available
free downloadable converters for previous versions of Microsoft Office including Office 2003, Office
XP, Office 2000[42] and Office 2004 for the Mac. Third-party implementations of Office Open XML
exist on the Mac platform (iWork '08) and Linux (OpenOffice.org 3.0). In addition, Service Pack 2 for
Office 2007 supports the OpenDocument Format (ODF) for opening and saving documents.

Microsoft provides the ability to remove metadata from Office documents. This was in response to
highly publicized incidents where sensitive data about a document was leaked via its
metadata.[43]Metadata removal was first available in 2004, when Microsoft released a tool
called h

  

 !"# for this purpose[44] It was directly integrated
into Office 2007 in a feature called the $%.

[edit]Extensibility

A major feature of the Office suite is the ability for users and third party companies to write add-ins
(plug-ins) that extend the capabilities of an application by adding custom commands and specialized
features. The type of add-ins supported differ by Office versions:

Î Office 97 onwards (standard Windows DLLs i.e. Word WLLs and Excel XLLs)
Î Office 2000 onwards (COM add-ins)[45]
Î Office XP onwards (COM/OLE Automation add-ins)[46]
Î Office 2003 onwards (Managed code add-ins - VSTO solutions)[47]
[edit]Supported operating systems
Microsoft supports Office for the Windows and Mac platforms. Beginning with Mac Office 4.2, the
Mac and Windows versions of Office share the same file format. Consequently, any Mac with Office
4.2 or later can read documents created with Office 4.2 for Windows or later, and vice-versa. Visual
Basic for Applications support was dropped in Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac[48] but was restored in
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011.[4]

There were efforts in the mid 1990s to port Office to RISC processors such
as NEC / MIPS and IBM / PowerPC, but they met problems such as memory access being
hampered by data structure alignment requirements. Microsoft Word 97 & Excel 97 however did ship
for the DEC Alpha platform. Difficulties in porting Office may have been a factor in
discontinuing Windows NT on non-Intel platforms.[
 
]

There is no mention of support for other operating systems, although Microsoft Office Mobile, which
supports the more popular features of Microsoft Office, is available for Windows Mobile and is
planned to soon be available for Symbian OS.[49]
Crossover for Linux, by CodeWeavers, makes it possible to run Microsoft Office on the Linux
platform. Doing so, however, requires a license for Microsoft Office for Windows, as well as a license
for Crossover for Linux. Crossover is a computer code translation layer.

[edit]Support lifecycle
[edit]  
+" *  (
Beginning in 2002, Microsoft instituted a new support lifecycle policy.[50][51] Versions earlier than
Office XP are no longer supported. For current and future versions of Office mainstream support will
end five years after release, or two years after the next release, whichever time is later, and
extended support will end five years after that.

Î Microsoft Binder ² Incorporates several documents into one file and was originally designed as
a container system for storing related documents in a single file. The complexity of use and
learning curve led to little usage, and it was discontinued after Office 2002.
Î Microsoft FrontPage ² Web design software (also requires its own server program for some
functionality). Offered only as a stand-alone program for the 2003 version. In 2006, Microsoft
announced that this was to be discontinued and to be replaced by two different software
packages: Microsoft SharePoint Designer and Microsoft Expression Web.
Î Microsoft Mail ² Mail client (in old versions of Office, later replaced by Microsoft Schedule Plus
and subsequently Microsoft Outlook).
Î Microsoft Office Document Image Writer ² a virtual printer allowing documents from Microsoft
Office or any other application to be printed and stored in an image file in TIFF or Microsoft
Document Imaging Format format. Discontinued with Office 2010.[52]
Î Microsoft Office Document Imaging ² an application that supports editing scanned documents.
Discontinued with Office 2010.[52]
Î Microsoft Office Document Scanning ² a scanning and OCR application. Discontinued with
Office 2010.[52]
Î Microsoft PhotoDraw 2000 ² A graphics program that was first released as part of the Office
2000 Premium Edition. A later version for Windows XP compatibility was released, known as
PhotoDraw 2000 Version 2. Microsoft discontinued the program in 2001.
Î Microsoft Photo Editor ² Photo-editing/raster-graphics software in older Office versions up to
Office XP. It was supplemented by Microsoft PhotoDraw in Office 2000 Premium edition.
Î Microsoft Schedule Plus ² Released with Office 95. It featured a planner, to-do list, and contact
information. Its functions were incorporated into Microsoft Outlook.
Î Microsoft Virtual PC ² Included with Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2004 for Mac.
Microsoft discontinued support for Virtual PC on the Mac in 2006 owing to new Macs possessing
the same Intel architecture as Windows PCs.[53] It emulated a standard PC and its hardware.
Î Microsoft Vizact 2000 ² A program that "activated" documents using HTML, adding effects such
as animation. It allows users to create dynamic documents for the Web. Development has ended
due to unpopularity.
Î Microsoft Data Analyzer 2002 ² A business intelligence program for graphical visualization of
data and its analysis.
Î Office Assistant, included since Office 97 (Windows) & Office 98 (Mac) as a part of Microsoft
Agent technology, is a system that uses animated characters to offer context-
sensitive suggestions to users and access to the help system. The Assistant is often dubbed
"Clippy" or "Clippit", due to its default to a paper clip character, coded as CLIPPIT.ACS. The
latest versions that include the Office Assistant were Office 2003 (Windows) and Office 2004
(Mac).
