Microsoft Office has long been the standard by which other business software suites have been judged. And based on the widespread use and popularity that Microsoft Office has maintained since the first edition was released, no other office applications suite comes anywhere near it. While Microsoft Office 2003 set new standards for functionality and ease of use, Microsoft Office 2007 Standard has set the bar even higher.

The suite includes programs that are each established as industry standards in their respective applications:

• Microsoft Word 2007
• Microsoft Excel 2007
• Microsoft PowerPoint 2007
• Microsoft Outlook 2007
