Create High-Quality Documents
Home and Student 2007 gives you access to updated graphics, formatting galleries, and an intuitive user interface that exposes commonly used commands. These features enable you to easily produce high-quality documents that will make you proud. Improved picture, charting, and graphics tools help you produce better-looking documents, spreadsheets, and presentations more quickly, while a large library of standard charts, quick formatting tools, and SmartArt diagrams make it easy to include rich and stunning visuals and charts. The results-oriented user interface makes it easier for you to find and use product features so you can enhance your documents according to your specifications. More stable bullets and numbers, SmartArt diagrams, and graphics and charting galleries provide you with a wealth of other formatting choices. Meanwhile, document themes help ensure a consistent appearance among the documents you create in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, to make working across the programs you use most more convenient. PowerPoint also features context-sensitive tabs and easy-to-use galleries that make it simple for you to include tables and other graphics in your documents.

Enhanced Reliability and Security Features
With an improved automatic Document Recovery tool and the new Document Inspector tool for removing personally identifiable information from your documents, Home and Student 2007 helps you work with more confidence and security. Thanks to these two features, you'll never have to worry about losing documents after a system failure or exposing your personal identification information or unwanted comments to others before sharing your documents.



Formatting galleries make it easier to find and apply formatting changes. View larger.
User-Friendly Operation
Packed with innovative features and improvements, Home and Student 2007 has a streamlined interface and an enhanced Help system, including online tutorials with step-by-step instructions, so you can quickly learn the product and find the answers to your questions. In addition, command tabs on the results-oriented Ribbon reveal commonly used commands that previously appeared only in lengthy drop-down menus. The Help system also offers a smooth transition between the Help menu in the Microsoft Office system and Help on the Internet (when connected). Larger, more informative ScreenTips provide help concerning commands, and the command tabs themselves are context-sensitive, changing automatically depending upon the task that you are trying to complete, so you won't waste time figuring out the appropriate command. When you need more guidance, online tutorials provide step-by-step instructions for common tasks.

Organize Notes and Information
Home and Student 2007 includes OneNote, a digital notebook that helps you gather, organize, and search many types of information in one place. This means you can consolidate typed text, images, audio and video recordings, digital handwritten notes, Web clippings, and more on the same page. OneNote also provides flexible note-taking tools to help you organize information the way you want. Categorize important projects or information in a way that makes sense to you, using an easy-to-use layout of notebooks, sections, and pages. Type or organize content anywhere on the page and track important items with customizable note tags. To help keep you on track, the powerful Instant Search feature helps you to find information you are looking for quickly. With it you can even search handwritten notes, the text in images and scanned documents, and spoken words in audio recordings.

Preview Changes and Spot Trends
Home and Student 2007 saves you time by making it easier to format your Office documents with Live Preview. This tool lets you quickly preview proposed changes to your document while you're working on it without having to repeatedly search through layers of menus. Taking a look at your proposed formatting before committing to it lets you experiment without risk and can help minimize future edits. Excel features highly visual conditional formatting with new data bars, more colorful gradients, and icons that you can use to format data based on specific rules, so you can more easily identify key data trends, which can help you study and prepare written papers or reports.

Create and Save Custom Slide Layouts
PowerPoint lets you create presentations with ease using prebuilt and user-defined custom slide layouts. With the custom layout feature you can quickly create the precise layout you envision without being bound by one of the prepackaged, standard layouts. You can then save your custom layout for use in future presentations.

Broader Distribution of Your Documents
Home and Student 2007's features aren't limited to the work you do at home; they extend to broader distribution of your documents and presentations. New support for Portable Document Format (PDF) and XML Paper Specification (XPS) file formats helps ensure increased distribution and sharing of your documents with users on any platform. This is particularly ideal for either sharing documents with friends and families, or for presenting information and assignments in a computer-integrated class.

Average Rating: out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Forced into Change, Moderately Happy
I was basically forced to change from Office 2003 into 2007 when my computer crashed taking with it all installed programs (Microsoft actually had something to do with it ;) which I took as a sign from above (Bill Gates?) that I should bring my software a little up to date.
After several weeks with the new software I am still undecided whether this was the right move. Frankly, I have yet to find a single function which would really make a difference.
The new layout is fancier but this is not what I expect - I need quick access to rather basic functions instead of dozens of functions the purpose of which I will never discover. Let's face it, I need my computer for writing. I can create an odd table every now and then but that is the limit to my computer skills. Within this fairly limited set of needs I found the new Office to big to handle.
Obviously, I am to blame to some extent, I got used to doing things "my way" over the years and now "my ways" are no longer accessible or I have to trailblaze across allegedly "intuitive" software. My basic problem is that the new Office knows too well what I want when I don't want it at all (still haven't mastered the tricky art of numbering within a single Word document starting from 1. several times).
I couldn't avoid the upgrade forever as my students started sending me essays in the new Word format which I could not open any longer but if I could I would probably be happier with the old one. And this is my conclusion - if you already have an older version of Office and it works, don't change it. It just isn't worth the money and the bother.


Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Microsoft 2007 Home Edition
Product contains more downloads than I need, but this version of Word, Excel and Powerpoint all work very well. This purchase was necessary to solve a continuous problem of Windows Office 2000 trying to reload something without my having a CD or DVD to load from (DELL loaded Word and Excel on originally without suppling Office 2000 - thanks DELL and of course, thanks to the criminals at Microsoft who imply they can help fix problems with their rotten software).


Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Microsoft Office student 2007
This update of Microsoft Office Student 2007 that uses VISTA doesn't have all the same features in parts of WORD, like even the option to save the file as a PFD file. I am not happy with VISTA and I am not happy with this update of MICROSOFT OFFICE STUDENT 2007. I am unable to use files saved in WORD, POWERPOINT, and EXCEL with other versions of the same software without much, much extra work, or rework. Its cumbersome, not user friendly, not compatible with previous versions. I am very disappointed with the product.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007
This is a great product. We have a home based business and have enjoyed working with this program. The only downside is when you need to email some documents they can't always be read or opened if the recipient doesn't have the same updated program. This has only happen a few times.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Good with returns.
I bought a microsoft office 2007 and then decided I didn't need it. I had not opened it and emailed the company about returning the item. They were very nice about the situation and gave me the help I needed in a timely fashion. I was very pleased with the situation and thankful they made it so easy for me to return the item.
