Microsoft Office 2010

This is the final version of the Microsoft Office 2010 productivity suite, historically one of the most popular and useful tools throughout the personal computing industry.

Microsoft Office 2010 Business and Home includes five of the most valuable productivity programs on the market: PowerPoint, Excel, Word, OneNote, and Outlook. Additional office programs are available from the Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus suite.

As the latest version of Microsoft Office 2010, this version includes several improvements and new features compared to the original version. For example, Word's context menus have been improved with a number of changes. This means you can now select potential options and see changes in real time. Videos are now supported in PowerPoint presentations, and Outlook has new features to remove duplicate messages. Excel now has the ability to work with small color charts in individual cells.

Microsoft Office 2010 also includes text translation tools and tools for taking and exporting screenshots. Users can also apply effects to images used in documents. However, one of the best new features of Microsoft Office 2010 is the ability to use SkyDrive to store online versions of the documents you create. This backup works very well and saves space on your local system.

One of the most notable complaints about Microsoft Office in the past was that programs seemed to take forever to start, and many of its features slowed down individual programs. Microsoft Office 2010 no longer has this problem. This software uses less system resources than older versions and as a result has better performance and less lag.

There are small changes to the appearance of each program in the Microsoft Office 2010 suite, but they are relatively minimal. For example, the controversial ribbon interface that Microsoft uses is still the main way to select tools and options, but it's designed in a simpler, cleaner style. The New File button replaces the old Office button and displays a full page with options for working with the currently open document, as well as specific information about that file.

There's no denying that Microsoft Office 2010 tops the productivity suite. It has many improved features that make it much easier to use than previous versions and offers many ways to improve your daily workflow. The perfect professional solution for any business that needs help increasing productivity. While some users may not like the ribbon interface, it's certainly a big improvement over the original ribbon interface, which had real problems.
