It also includes Groove, an innovative application that lets users create and customize Groove workspaces in minutes and invite colleagues, partners, and customers to join-- all with enhanced security and without requesting IT resources. Groove stores all your workspaces, tools, and data right on your computer so there's no need to connect to the corporate network to access information. You stay productive whether you're working in the office, at a customer site, on the road, or from home. This software also keeps copies of your workspaces and files, which are synchronized across your own computers, even if they are not online at the same time.

Effortless Collaboration
Ultimate 2007 lets you collaborate easily with colleagues, partners, and customers--all with one program. There's no need to switch tools when you need to work with people outside your organization. In addition, increased support for Portable Document Format (PDF) and XML Paper Specification (XPS) file formats helps ensure broader distribution of your documents with others.

Manage Notes and Information
Ultimate 2007 includes OneNote, a digital notebook that provides a flexible way to gather notes and information, powerful search capabilities so users can find what they are looking for quickly, and easy to use, shared notebooks for teams to work together more effectively. It enables greater efficiency while mobile so you can gather and view notes and other information on a Smartphone or Pocket PC mobile device and sync it with your OneNote notebook on your portable computer. In addition, OneNote enables you to gather all needed content in one place, regardless of data format, further simplifying information exchange between colleagues.

Create and Manage Content
Ultimate 2007 provides tools that help you create and manage content more efficiently and effectively than ever before. Use audible and text alerts that notify you of specific changes to monitor document changes and gain greater visibility of the most up-to-date project information in Groove. The new Instant Search in Outlook helps you quickly find e-mail messages, while Excel makes it easier than ever to analyze data with powerful visualization options. You can also compile and track information from different sources in Access, allowing you to filter data when you need to. When it's time to analyze important data, Ultimate 2007 lets you visualize key data trends using conditional formatting, which includes improved data bars, more colorful gradients, and icons so you can format data based on specific rules and easily identify key data trends with visual cues.

Including charts in Office PowerPoint 2007 is easy. View larger.

Stay Organized
Outlook features a new To-Do Bar for organizing tasks, appointments and e-mail messages flagged for follow-up. You can also view tasks on the calendar alongside your appointments. Uncompleted tasks roll over to the next day and accumulate until completed. To help save time, take advantage of the preview feature, which lets you view proposed changes to your document while you're working on it without having to repeatedly search through layers of menus.

Improved Security
To help save time and protect your work, Ultimate 2007 helps you keep your e-mail more secure and reduce electronic junk mail. Outlook includes an enhanced junk e-mail filter to help reduce electronic spam and protect against potentially harmful attachments, and security enhancements to help prevent "phishing," a fraudulent e-mail attempt to trick you into providing financial or personal information. This allows you to spend less time troubleshooting problems, or scrambling to replace lost files or data, and more time enjoying a productive computing experience.

2.0 out of 5 stars Dumbed down and harder to use, July 28, 2007

By 

Joshua Nelson "Joshua N" (Waukegan, IL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 UPGRADE [DVD] [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

The new ribbon design is supposed to make it easier to learn and use. It may be for some new users but for experienced users, it isn't. This version takes away some critical nuts & bolts customization features and many tasks now take longer to perform. This is not due to the learning curve, it is the inherent nature of the way the ribbon works. Once you are familiar with the program, nothing is faster than the old menu structure. If Microsoft added an option to allow users to choose between menus and ribbons, it would be the best of both worlds, satisfying the needs of both new and experienced users. The new version does not run macros as fast however. My recommedation for existing users: keep Office 2003 for as long as you can and consider going to Open Office when Microsoft no longer supports 2003 (unless they restore the functionality in a newer release of 2007).

5.0 out of 5 stars Better than Ever, March 8, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 UPGRADE [DVD] [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

A great new interface including control layout, easier than ever to use, and complete. There is no other product in this class. It looks great in XP and even sharper in Vista.

Subject to some agreement with Adbobe, you'll have to download the free PDF writer from Microsoft (the beta came with it), but it works exactly the same and otherwise no suprises.

The product is pricey and you may want to purchase a smaller release (less applications in the suite) depending on your needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Microsoft Office 2007 Ultimate rocks, May 20, 2007

This review is from: Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 UPGRADE [DVD] [Old Version] (DVD-ROM)

Microsoft has significantly advanced the Office suite of products to the next generation. Tight integration from one aplication to the other and the highest degree of "look and feel" standardization yet ensure that this suite of products will remain the industry standard for years to come. The ribbon is great - it "reveals" product features and functionalities formerly hidden in layers of menus or option windows. The ribbon groups make it fast and easy to locate what you are looking for. The newer applications (OneNote, Groove & InfoPath) enhance productivity and help the user prepare documents for sharing via Microsoft SharePoint Services. Microsoft has also significantly improved Outlook with Business Contact Manager, resolving most of the database problems in prior versions. Microsoft needs to weave other Office applications (e.g., Project and Visio) more tightly into the integration.Microsoft Office Ultimate 2007 Upgrade DVD
