The only significant changes were improvements in Reviewing and Comments and the addition of Research Pane. Research Pane is a new function that lets you simultaneously reference a dictionary, thesaurus and encyclopedia via the Internet without leaving Word. An example of the Research Pane is shown at right. The new Word also works better with a Tablet PC, allowing you to use a pen input device to write and draw directly on the page. The screenshot below shows an example of an XML document in Excel.

The fields in the main window can be used to input data. Once data are entered, the information then can be represented graphically, as shown in the lower part of the screenshot, at right.

Those who use Excel for statistical analysis will be especially pleased by the enhancements in functions such as Probability Distributions. In addition, a function called Package for CD was added. It lets you save directly onto a CD or a memory stick not only your presentation and the PowerPoint viewer but any linked document or other file you may want to include. The Package for CD screen below shows how easily you can set up this option. Microsoft has added many new features to make it more powerful and easier to use.

Now you can access multiple e-mail accounts including Hotmail. You can move the Reading Pane known as the Preview Pane in earlier editions to the right-hand side of the screen and position it vertically instead of horizontally. This allows you to view more of a message without scrolling—although many users are opting to turn off the scrolling feature as a way to avoid the danger of accidentally clicking on infected e-mails that slip through their virus-protection software.

You also can change view settings for individual folders—using the Reading Pane in some folders but not in others. You can organize mail folders by date, subject, importance or topic. The sort-by-date feature is particularly useful: It groups messages from today, yesterday, this week, last week, two weeks ago, last month and older. If your inbox is large and you frequently search for certain messages, you can save your commonly used search models as a Search Folder.

For example, a search folder named Bob Smith could contain all messages from Bob Smith regardless of which mail folder they are stored in ; the folder automatically will update itself by conducting a search every time you open Search Folder.

You also can flag messages with one of several colored flag symbols and they will be moved to a Flagged Message folder. See screen below for an illustration of some of these features. Microsoft has enhanced Outlook to move seamlessly from Connected to the Internet to Offline modes. This change makes it easier to work in wireless environments, where Internet connections may come and go, without disrupting your work.

Although this function works well with the Exchange 5. Outlook has added an effective junk e-mail catcher, too.
