Mr. B’s Web Seminar was created in FrontPage, though he regularly uses a variety of other professional authoring tools. Because he is a Business Educator and Library Media Specialist, Mr. B chooses to use commonly available Web editing software that schools and students are likely to have access too. An exciting development is Open Office, and open source project through which Sun Microsystems is releasing and coordinating the technology for the popular StarOffice. This is a FREE OFFICE SUITE that is fully compatible with all other major office suites. The product is free to download, use, and distribute. While FrontPage is generally not considered a “professional quality” HTML editor (like MacroMedia Dreamweaver, it fits our needs and is the most commonly used HTML editor in the world. Like all software, perhaps the key is to fully understand FrontPage limitations. The current versions are Office 2007 have been launched. Office 2004 for Macintosh was released May 19, 2004. The versions of Office 1997, 2000, XP, 2002, and 2003 are all very similar. This writer has not yet had a chance to work with or review the new Office 2007. For the most part, working from one version of MS Office to another is not a problem – there can be some issues in formats, dialog boxes, and features. This presentation of resources about Microsoft products is not meant as an endorsement or recommendation - we are just acknowledging the most widely used productivity tools and providing resources to help master them.

 | Microsoft Word is a word processor and is considered to be the main program of Office. It possesses a dominant market share in the word processor market. Its proprietary DOC format is considered a de facto standard, although its most recent version, Word 2007 uses a newer modification of the .DOC file format, but has the capability of saving and opening the old .DOC format. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. |
| Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. Like Microsoft Word, it possesses a dominant market share. It was originally a competitor to the dominant Lotus 1-2-3, but it eventually outsold it and became the de facto standard. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. |
| 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 and Schedule+ (Plus) starting in the 1997 version of Office, it includes an e-mail client, calendar, task manager and address book. Although historically it has been offered for the Macintosh, the closest to an equivalent for Mac OS X is Microsoft Entourage, which offers a slightly different feature set. |
| Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular presentation program for Windows and Macintosh. It is used to create slideshows, composed of text, graphics, movies and other objects, which can be displayed on-screen and navigated through by the presenter or printed out on transparencies or slides. Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto) will have a version of this program. It possesses a dominant market share. You Can also add movies,videos, sounds and music as well as wordart and autoshapes |
Other programs included in the Windows versions include:
| MS Access – Database manager. For the 2003 version, included in Microsoft Office Professional Edition 2003, and Microsoft Office Professional Enterprise Edition 2003. |
| MS InfoPath. Application that enables users to design rich XML-based forms. Included in Microsoft Office Professional, and Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition 2003. |
| MS FrontPage. This is a "what you see is what you get" HTML editor. It allows users to create fully functional Webpages without all the detail work of hand-coding HTML. For many of us, it is much more important to spend time on our Web's content - software like this is a real timesaver. This Web is created with FrontPage. |
| MS MapPoint. Mapping and geographic software tools. |
| MS Visio. Diagram software with many functions included. |
| MS Office Picture Manager. Basic photo management software (similar to a basic version of Google's Picasa or Adobe's Photoshop Elements). |

| MS Publisher. Software for creating newsletters, business cards, flyers, greeting cards or even postcards. It has built in templates to help users professionally design and make publications. Also, Publisher 2003 has support for commercial printing and large quantity ink jobs. Unlike its more popular brethren (save, perhaps, Outlook), Publisher has a negligible market share in a field dominated by Adobe InDesign and QuarkXPress. |
| MS Office OneNote. Note-taking software for use with tablet PCs or regular PCs. |
| MS Office Communicator. Integrated communications client, enabling information workers to communicate in real time. |
| Communicator. Is used effectively world wide for conferences and meetings. |
