So if you do plan to get cliparts and templates, internet access has become necessary.Īnother change in the Office 2003 package is the removal of the Microsoft Photo Editor which has come with each office release since Office 97. Most of the cliparts that usually came with Office releases has now been removed from the installation disc and has been moved to their internet servers.
Office Online, which is an online feature that allowed users to download content like clips and other things, was also introduced with Office 2003. Smart tags were also significantly improved, with additional XML formatting via the use an extended type library. Office 2003 also added support for pen and tablet devices that provided another input method other than the usual. The ones mentioned above are not the only improvements made as mentioning each one would probably take a long time. The improvements included a better junk mail filter in Outlook, a reading layout for Word, some statistical functions to Excel,and a backup command for Access. Office 2003 was a later release that only featured some minor improvements to the core applications of Office XP. When Windows XP was released, Office XP was also made available to the public via OEM and as standalone products. It has therefore become a tradition that every OS release is coincided with a new release of Microsoft Office. Microsoft Office has become an integral version with each and every Microsoft OS.
