is a version of Microsoft Office,
a family of office suites and productivity software for Windows,
developed and published by Microsoft.
It was released to manufacturing on November
3, 2006, it was subsequently made available to volume license customers
on November 30, 2006, and later to retail on January 30, 2007, the same
respective release dates of Windows Vista.
It was preceded by Office 2003 and succeeded by Office 2010.
Office 2007 introduced a new graphical user interface called
the Fluent User Interface, which uses ribbons and an Office menu instead
of menu bars and toolbars. Office
2007 also introduced Office Open XML file
formats as the default file formats
in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.
The new formats are intended to facilitate the sharing of information between
programs, improve security, reduce the size of documents, and enable new
recovery scenarios.
Office 2007 requires Windows XP with
Service Pack 2, Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 1,
or a later operating system; it is the last version of Microsoft Office to run
on Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
Office 2007 includes new applications and server-side tools,
including Microsoft Office Groove, a collaboration
and communication suite for smaller businesses, which was originally developed
by Groove Networks before being acquired by
Microsoft in 2005.
Also included is Office SharePoint Server 2007, a major revision to the server
platform for Office applications, which supports Excel Services,
a client-server architecture for supporting Excel workbooks that are shared in
real time between multiple machines, and are also viewable and editable through
a web page.
With Microsoft FrontPage discontinued, Microsoft SharePoint Designer, which is
aimed towards development of SharePoint portals,
becomes part of the Office 2007 family. Its designer-oriented
counterpart, Microsoft Expression Web, is targeted for
general web development. However, neither application has been included in
Office 2007 software suites.
Speech recognition functionality has been
removed from the individual programs in the Office 2007 suite, as Windows Speech Recognition was
integrated into Windows Vista. Windows XP users must install a previous version
of Office to use speech recognition features.
According to Forrester Research, as of May 2010, Microsoft
Office 2007 is used in 81% of enterprises it surveyed (its sample comprising
115 North American and European enterprise and SMB decision makers).
The first beta of Microsoft Office 2007, referred to as Beta-1 in
emails sent to a small number of testers, was released on November 16, 2005.
The Beta-1 Technical Refresh was released to testers on March 13, 2006. The
Technical Refresh fixed issues in installing with Windows Vista build 5308.
Office 2007 Beta 2 was announced by Bill Gates at WinHEC 2006, and was
initially released to the public at no cost from Microsoft's web site. However,
because of an unprecedented number of downloads, a fee of $1.50 was introduced
for each product downloaded after August 2, 2006. The beta was updated on
September 14, 2006 in Beta 2 Technical Refresh (Beta2TR). It included an
updated user interface, better accessibility support, improvements in the
robustness of the platform, and greater functionality.
The beta versions continued to function in a reduced
functionality mode after February 1, 2007. If users downloaded the Technical
Refresh to update Beta 2, then users could use its full functionality until
March 31, 2007 for client products and May 15, 2007 for server products. The
Beta program ended on November 8, 2006, when Microsoft declared the product
"Released to Manufacturing" (RTM) and
started manufacturing the final product. After RTM, the availability of the
beta download ended.
Office 2007 was released to volume licensing customers on
November 30, 2006, and to the general ublic on January 30, 2007. Mainstream
support ended on October 9, 2012.[
Extended support ended on October 10, 2017
Since the initial release of
Microsoft Office 2007, three service packs containing
updates as well as additional features have been released. Microsoft Office
2007 Service Packs are cumulative, so previous Service Packs are not a
prerequisite for installation.
Microsoft Office 2007 Service
Pack 1 was released on December 11, 2007. Official documentation claims that
SP1 is not simply a rollup of publicly released patches, but that it also
contains fixes for a total of 481 issues throughout the entire Office suite. Microsoft
Office 2007 Service Pack 2 was released on April 28, 2009. It added
improved support for ODF, XPS and PDF standards, and included several
bug fixes Microsoft Office 2007 Service Pack 3 was released on October 25, 2011
