Microsoft Office 2000: First Impressions Easier to Use and Manage Ben Durbin
As with previous versions of Office, Office 2000 delivers great improvements in ease of use through enhanced intelligence features and tighter integration between individual applications. Office 2000 extends this legacy even further by delivering more new features that enable you to work more efficiently than ever before. Let's take a look at some features that will enable you ease of use and management.
Self-Repairing Applications The entire installation process for Office 2000 has been upgraded not only to make the applications more resilient to installation problems, but also to add intelligence features that can fix problems that may occur with your software. For example, if essential files have been deleted from your hard disk, and you try to run an Office application that requires them, Office 2000 will automatically find and reinstall the missing files so you stay up and running.
Collect and Paste The Office 2000 Clipboard lets you copy up to 12 different pieces of text or pictures from one or more documents, e-mail messages, Web pages, presentations, or other files at the same time and paste them into any Office application-either individually or all at once.
Floating Tables In Microsoft Word 2000 you can place a table anywhere within a document and wrap text around it, giving you more freedom in your layouts. You can also now use diagonal lines inside table cells.
Tri-Pane View Microsoft PowerPoint® 2000 lets you combine the slide, outline, and notes views into a single, framed screen so you can easily and quickly create and edit slides without having to switch between views.
Language AutoDetect For those of you who use multiple languages in your Office documents, Office 2000 can now automatically detect the language you type and intelligently use proofing tools in the correct language.
Office Email Office 2000 integrates email into each of the applications to make it easier to send your Office documents electronically.
