Microsoft Office, or simply Office, is a family of client software, server
software, and services developed by Microsoft. It was first announced by Bill
Gates on August 1, 1988, at COMDEX in Las Vegas. Initially a marketing term for
an office suite (bundled set of productivity applications), the first version of
Office contained Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft PowerPoint. Over
the years, Office applications have grown substantially closer with shared
features such as a common spell checker, Object Linking and Embedding data
integration and Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Microsoft also
positions Office as a development platform for line-of-business software under
the Office Business Applications brand.
It contains a word processor (Word), a spreadsheet program (Excel) and a
presentation program (PowerPoint), an email client (Outlook), a database
management system (Access), and a desktop publishing app (Publisher).[15]
Office is produced in several versions targeted towards different end-users and
computing environments. The original, and most widely used version, is the
desktop version, available for PCs running the Windows and macOS operating
systems. Microsoft also maintains mobile apps for Android and iOS. Office on the
web is a version of the software that runs within a web browser.
Since Office 2013, Microsoft has promoted Office 365 as the primary means of
obtaining Microsoft Office: it allows the use of the software and other services
on a subscription business model, and users receive feature updates to the
software for the lifetime of the subscription, including new features and cloud
computing integration that are not necessarily included in the "on-premises"
releases of Office sold under conventional license terms. In 2017, revenue from
Office 365 overtook conventional license sales. Microsoft also rebranded most of
their standard Office 365 editions as "Microsoft 365" to reflect their inclusion
of features and services beyond the core Microsoft Office suite.
In October 2022, Microsoft announced that it was to phase out the Microsoft
Office brand in favor of "Microsoft 365" by January 2023, the name continuing to
be used for legacy product offerings.[16][17] However, Microsoft reversed this
stance with the release of an Office 2024 preview build in November
2023.[18][19]
COMPONENTS
See also: List of Microsoft Office programs
CORE APPS AND SERVICES
* Microsoft Word is a word processor included in Microsoft Office and some
editions of the now-discontinued Microsoft Works. The first version of Word,
released in the autumn of 1983, was for the MS-DOS operating system and
introduced the computer mouse to more users. Word 1.0 could be purchased with
a bundled mouse, though none was required. Following the precedents of
LisaWrite and MacWrite, Word for Macintosh attempted to add closer WYSIWYG
features into its package. Word for Mac was released in 1985. Word for Mac
was the first graphical version of Microsoft Word. Initially, it implemented
the proprietary .doc format as its primary format. Word 2007, however,
deprecated this format in favor of Office Open XML, which was later
standardized by Ecma International as an open format. Support for Portable
Document Format (PDF) and OpenDocument (ODF) was first introduced in Word for
Windows with Service Pack 2 for Word 2007.[20]
* Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet editor that originally competed with the
dominant Lotus 1-2-3 and eventually outsold it. Microsoft released the first
version of Excel for the Mac OS in 1985 and the first Windows version
(numbered 2.05 to line up with the Mac) in November 1987.
* Microsoft PowerPoint is a presentation program used to create slideshows
composed of text, graphics, and other objects, which can be displayed
on-screen and shown by the presenter or printed out on transparencies or
slides.
* Microsoft OneNote is a notetaking program that gathers handwritten or typed
notes, drawings, screen clippings and audio commentaries. Notes can be shared
with other OneNote users over the Internet or a network. OneNote was
initially introduced as a standalone app that was not included in any
Microsoft Office 2003 edition. However, OneNote eventually became a core
component of Microsoft Office; with the release of Microsoft Office 2013,
OneNote was included in all Microsoft Office offerings. OneNote is also
available as a web app on Office on the web, a freemium (and later freeware)
Windows desktop app, a mobile app for Windows Phone, iOS, Android, and
Symbian, and a Metro-style app for Windows 8 or later.
* Microsoft Outlook (not to be confused with Outlook Express, Outlook.com or
Outlook on the web) is a personal information manager that replaces Windows
Messaging, Microsoft Mail, and Schedule+ starting in Office 97; it includes
an e-mail client, calendar, task manager and address book. On the Mac OS,
Microsoft offered several versions of Outlook in the late 1990s, but only for
use with Microsoft Exchange Server. In Office 2001, it introduced an
alternative application with a slightly different feature set called
Microsoft Entourage. It reintroduced Outlook in Office 2011, replacing
Entourage.[21]
* Microsoft OneDrive is a file hosting service that allows users to sync files
and later access them from a web browser or mobile device.
* Microsoft Teams is a platform that combines workplace chat, meetings, notes,
and attachments.
WINDOWS-ONLY APPS
* Microsoft Publisher is a desktop publishing app for Windows mostly used for
designing brochures, labels, calendars, greeting cards, business cards,
newsletters, web sites, and postcards.
* Microsoft Access is a database management system for Windows that combines
the relational Access Database Engine (formerly Jet Database Engine) with a
graphical user interface and software development tools. Microsoft Access
stores data in its own format based on the Access Database Engine. It can
also import or link directly to data stored in other applications and
databases.[22]
* Microsoft Project is a project management app for Windows to keep track of
events and to create network charts and Gantt charts, not bundled in any
Office suite.
* Microsoft Visio is a diagram and flowcharting app for Windows not bundled in
any Office suite.
MOBILE-ONLY APPS
* Office Lens is an image scanner optimized for mobile devices. It captures the
document (e.g. business card, paper, whiteboard) via the camera and then
straightens the document portion of the image. The result can be exported to
Word, OneNote, PowerPoint or Outlook, or saved in OneDrive, sent via Mail or
placed in Photo Library.
* Office Mobile is a unified Office mobile app for Android and iOS, which
combines Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into a single app and introduces new
capabilities as making quick notes, signing PDFs, scanning QR codes, and
transferring files.[23]
* Office Remote is an application that turns the mobile device into a remote
control for desktop versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
SERVER APPLICATIONS
* Microsoft SharePoint is a web-based collaborative platform that integrates
with Microsoft Office. Launched in 2001, SharePoint is primarily sold as a
document management and storage system, but the product is highly
configurable and usage varies substantially among organizations. SharePoint
services include:
* Excel Services is a spreadsheet editing server similar to Microsoft Excel.
* InfoPath Forms Services is a form distribution server similar to Microsoft
InfoPath.
* Microsoft Project Server is a project management server similar to
Microsoft Project.
* Microsoft Search Server
* Skype for Business Server is a real-time communications server for instant
messaging and video-conferencing.
* Microsoft Exchange Server is a mail server and calendaring server.
WEB SERVICES
* Microsoft Sway is a presentation web app released in October 2014. It also
has a native app for iOS and Windows 10.
* Delve is a service that allows Office 365 users to search and manage their
emails, meetings, contacts, social networks and documents stored on OneDrive
or Sites in Office 365.
* Microsoft Forms is an online survey creator, available for Office 365
Education subscribers.
* Microsoft To Do is a task management service.
* Outlook.com is a free webmail with a user interface similar to Microsoft
Outlook.
* Outlook on the web is a webmail client similar to Outlook.com but more
comprehensive and available only through Office 365 and Microsoft Exchange
Server offerings.
* Microsoft Planner is a planning application available on the Microsoft Office
365 platform.
* Microsoft Stream is a corporate video sharing service for enterprise users
with an Office 365 Academic or Enterprise license.
* Microsoft Bookings is an appointment booking application on the Microsoft
Office 365 platform.

Office on the web is a free lightweight web version of Microsoft Office and
primarily includes three web applications: Word, Excel and PowerPoint. The
offering also includes Outlook.com, OneNote and OneDrive which are accessible
through a unified app switcher. Users can install the on-premises version of
this service, called Office Online Server, in private clouds in conjunction with
SharePoint, Microsoft Exchange Server and Microsoft Lync Server.[25]
Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on the web can all natively open, edit, and save
Office Open XML files (docx, xlsx, pptx) as well as OpenDocument files (odt,
ods, odp). They can also open the older Office file formats (doc, xls, ppt), but
will be converted to the newer Open XML formats if the user wishes to edit them
online. Other formats cannot be opened in the browser apps, such as CSV in Excel
or HTML in Word, nor can Office files that are encrypted with a password be
opened. Files with macros can be opened in the browser apps, but the macros
cannot be accessed or executed.[26][27][28] Starting in July 2013, Word can
render PDF documents or convert them to Microsoft Word documents, although the
formatting of the document may deviate from the original.[29] Since November
2013, the apps have supported real-time co-authoring and autosaving
files.[30][31]
Office on the web lacks a number of the advanced features present in the full
desktop versions of Office, including lacking the programs Access and Publisher
entirely. However, users are able to select the command "Open in Desktop App"
that brings up the document in the desktop version of Office on their computer
or device to utilize the advanced features there.[32][33]
Supported web browsers include Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer 11, the latest
versions of Firefox or Google Chrome, as well as Safari for OS X 10.8 or
later.[34]
The Personal edition of Office on the web is available to the general public
free of charge with a Microsoft account through the Office.com website, which
superseded SkyDrive (now OneDrive) and Office Live Workspace. Enterprise-managed
versions are available through Office 365.[35] In February 2013, the ability to
view and edit files on SkyDrive without signing in was added.[36] The service
can also be installed privately in enterprise environments as a SharePoint app,
or through Office Web Apps Server.[25] Microsoft also offers other web apps in
the Office suite, such as the Outlook Web App (formerly Outlook Web Access),[37]
Lync Web App (formerly Office Communicator Web Access),[38] Project Web App
(formerly Project Web Access).[39] Additionally, Microsoft offers a service
under the name of Online Doc Viewer to view Office documents on a website via
Office on the web.[40]
COMMON FEATURES
Most versions of Microsoft Office (including Office 97 and later) use their own
widget set and do not exactly match the native operating system. This is most
apparent in Microsoft Office XP and 2003, where the standard menus were replaced
with a colored, flat-looking, shadowed menu style.
The user interface of a particular version of Microsoft Office often heavily
influences a subsequent version of Microsoft Windows. E.g.:-
* The toolbar, colored buttons and the gray-colored 3D look of Office 4.3 were
added to Windows 95.
* The ribbon, introduced in Office 2007, has been incorporated into several
programs bundled with Windows 7 and later.
* The flat, box-like design of Office 2013 (released in 2012) was replicated in
Windows 8's new UI revamp.
Users of Microsoft Office may access external data via connection-specifications
saved in Office Data Connection (.odc) files.[41]
Office, on all platforms, supports editing both server files (in real time) and
offline files (manually saved) in recent years. The support for editing server
files (in real time) was originally introduced (in its current form) after the
introduction of OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive). But, older versions of Office also
have the ability to edit server files (notably Office 2007).
Both Windows and Office used service packs to update software. Office had
non-cumulative service releases, which were discontinued after Office 2000
Service Release 1. Now, Windows and Office have shifted to predictable (monthly,
semi-annual and annual) release schemes to update software.
Past versions of Office often contained Easter eggs. For example, Excel 97
contained a reasonably functional flight-simulator.
FILE FORMATS AND METADATA
Microsoft Office prior to Office 2007 used proprietary file formats based on the
OLE Compound File Binary Format.[42] This forced users who share data to adopt
the same software platform.[43] In 2008, Microsoft made the entire documentation
for the binary Office formats freely available for download and granted any
possible patents rights for use or implementations of those binary format for
free under the Open Specification Promise.[44][45] Previously, Microsoft had
supplied such documentation freely but only on request.[46]
Starting with Office 2007, the default file format has been a version of Office
Open XML, though different from the one standardized and published by Ecma
International and by ISO/IEC. Microsoft has granted patent rights to the formats
technology under the Open Specification Promise[47] and has made available free
downloadable converters for previous versions of Microsoft Office including
Office 2003, Office XP, Office 2000[48] and Office 2004 for Mac OS X.
Third-party implementations of Office Open XML exist on the Windows platform
(LibreOffice, all platforms), macOS platform (iWork '08, NeoOffice, LibreOffice)
and Linux (LibreOffice and OpenOffice.org 3.0). In addition, Office 2010,
Service Pack 2 for Office 2007, and Office 2016 for Mac supports the
OpenDocument Format (ODF) for opening and saving documents – only the old ODF
1.0 (2006 ISO/IEC standard) is supported, not the 1.2 version (2015 ISO/IEC
standard).
Microsoft provides the ability to remove metadata from Office documents. This
was in response to highly publicized incidents where sensitive data about a
document was leaked via its metadata.[49] Metadata removal was first available
in 2004, when Microsoft released a tool called Remove Hidden Data Add-in for
Office 2003/XP for this purpose.[50] It was directly integrated into Office 2007
in a feature called the Document Inspector.
EXTENSIBILITY
A major feature of the Office suite is the ability for users and third-party
companies to write add-ins (plug-ins) that extend the capabilities of an
application by adding custom commands and specialized features. One of the new
features is the Office Store.[51] Plugins and other tools can be downloaded by
users.[52] Developers can make money by selling their applications in the Office
Store. The revenue is divided between the developer and Microsoft where the
developer gets 80% of the money.[53] Developers are able to share applications
with all Office users.[53]
The app travels with the document, and it is for the developer to decide what
the recipient will see when they open it. The recipient will either have the
option to download the app from the Office Store for free, start a free trial or
be directed to payment.[53] With Office's cloud abilities, IT departments can
create a set of apps for their business employees in order to increase their
productivity.[54] When employees go to the Office Store, they'll see their
company's apps under My Organization. The apps that employees have personally
downloaded will appear under My Apps.[53] Developers can use web technologies
like HTML5, XML, CSS3, JavaScript, and APIs for building the apps.[55] An
application for Office is a webpage that is hosted inside an Office client
application. Users can use apps to amplify the functionality of a document,
email message, meeting request, or appointment. Apps can run in multiple
environments and by multiple clients, including rich Office desktop clients,
Office Web Apps, mobile browsers, and also on-premises and in the cloud.[55] The
type of add-ins supported differ by Office versions:
* Office 97 onwards (standard Windows DLLs i.e. Word WLLs and Excel XLLs)
* Office 2000 onwards (COM add-ins)[56]
* Office XP onwards (COM/OLE Automation add-ins)[57]
* Office 2003 onwards (Managed code add-ins – VSTO solutions)[58]
PASSWORD PROTECTION
Main article: Microsoft Office password protection
Microsoft Office has a security feature that allows users to encrypt Office
(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Skype Business) documents with a user-provided
password. The password can contain up to 255 characters and uses AES 128-bit
advanced encryption by default.[59] Passwords can also be used to restrict
modification of the entire document, worksheet or presentation. Due to lack of
document encryption, though, these passwords can be removed using a third-party
cracking software.[60]
SUPPORT POLICIES
APPROACH
All versions of Microsoft Office products from Office 2000 to Office 2016 are
eligible for ten years of support following their release, during which
Microsoft releases security updates for the product version and provides paid
technical support. The ten-year period is divided into two five-year phases: The
mainstream phase and the extended phase. During the mainstream phase, Microsoft
may provide limited complimentary technical support and release non-security
updates or change the design of the product. During the extended phase, said
services stop.[61] Office 2019 only receives 5 years of mainstream and 2 years
of extended support and Office 2021 only gets 5 years of mainstream support.[62]

PLATFORMS
Microsoft supports Office for the Windows and macOS platforms, as well as mobile
versions for Windows Phone, Android and iOS platforms. Beginning with Mac Office
4.2, the macOS and Windows versions of Office share the same file format, and
are interoperable. Visual Basic for Applications support was dropped in
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac,[63] then reintroduced in Office for Mac 2011.[64]
Microsoft tried in the mid-1990s to port Office to RISC processors such as
NEC/MIPS and IBM/PowerPC, but they met problems such as memory access being
hampered by data structure alignment requirements. Microsoft Word 97 and Excel
97, however, did ship for the DEC Alpha platform. Difficulties in porting Office
may have been a factor in discontinuing Windows NT on non-Intel platforms.[65]
PRICING MODEL AND EDITIONS
The Microsoft Office applications and suites are sold via retail channels, and
volume licensing for larger organizations (also including the "Home Use
Program". allowing users at participating organizations to buy low-cost licenses
for use on their personal devices as part of their employer's volume license
agreement).[66]
In 2010, Microsoft introduced a software as a service platform known as Office
365, to provide cloud-hosted versions of Office's server software, including
Exchange e-mail and SharePoint, on a subscription basis (competing in particular
with Google Apps).[67][68] Following the release of Office 2013, Microsoft began
to offer Office 365 plans for the consumer market, with access to Microsoft
Office software on multiple devices with free feature updates over the life of
the subscription, as well as other services such as OneDrive storage.[69][70]
Microsoft has since promoted Office 365 as the primary means of purchasing
Microsoft Office. Although there are still "on-premises" releases roughly every
three years, Microsoft marketing emphasizes that they do not receive new
features or access to new cloud-based services as they are released unlike
Office 365, as well as other benefits for consumer and business
markets.[71][72][73] Office 365 revenue overtook traditional license sales for
Office in 2017.[74]
EDITIONS
Microsoft Office is available in several editions, which regroup a given number
of applications for a specific price. Primarily, Microsoft sells Office as
Microsoft 365. The editions are as follows:
* Microsoft 365 Personal
* Microsoft 365 Family
* Microsoft 365 Business Basic
* Microsoft 365 Business Standard
* Microsoft 365 Business Premium
* Microsoft 365 apps for business
* Microsoft 365 apps for enterprise
* Office 365 E1, E3, E5
* Office 365 A1, A3, A5 (for education)
* Office 365 G1, G3, G5 (for government)
* Microsoft 365 F1, F3, Office 365 F3 (for frontline)
Microsoft sells Office for a one-time purchase as Home & Student and Home &
Business, however, these editions do not receive major updates.
EDUCATION PRICING
Post-secondary students may obtain the university edition of Microsoft Office
365 subscription. It is limited to one user and two devices, plus the
subscription price is valid for four years instead of just one. Apart from this,
the university edition is identical in features to the Home Premium version.
This marks the first time Microsoft does not offer physical or permanent
software at academic pricing, in contrast to the university versions of Office
2010 and Office 2011. In addition, students eligible for DreamSpark program may
receive select standalone Microsoft Office apps free of charge.
DISCONTINUED APPLICATIONS AND FEATURES

default to a paper clip character, coded as CLIPPIT.ACS. The latest versions
that include the Office Assistant were Office 2003 (Windows) and Office 2004
(Mac).

documents, which was superseded by Office on the web.
* Office Live Meeting was a web conferencing service.
CRITICISM
DATA FORMATS
Microsoft Office has been criticized in the past for using proprietary file
formats rather than open standards, which forces users who share data into
adopting the same software platform.[78] However, on February 15, 2008,
Microsoft made the entire documentation for the binary Office formats freely
available under the Open Specification Promise.[79] Also, Office Open XML, the
document format for the latest versions of Office for Windows and Mac, has been
standardized under both Ecma International and ISO. Ecma International has
published the Office Open XML specification free of copyrights and Microsoft has
granted patent rights to the formats technology under the Open Specification
Promise[80] and has made available free downloadable converters for previous
versions of Microsoft Office including Office 2003, Office XP, Office 2000 and
Office 2004 for the Mac. Third-party implementations of Office Open XML exist on
the Mac platform (iWork 08) and Linux (OpenOffice.org 2.3 – Novell Edition
only).
UNICODE AND BI-DIRECTIONAL TEXTS
Another point of criticism Microsoft Office has faced was the lack of support in
its Mac versions for Unicode and Bidirectional text languages, notably Arabic
and Hebrew. This issue, which had existed since the first release in 1989, was
addressed in the 2016 version.[81][82]
PRIVACY
On November 13, 2018, a report initiated by the Government of the Netherlands
concluded that Microsoft Office 2016 and Office 365 do not comply with GDPR, the
European law which regulates data protection and privacy for all citizens in and
outside the EU and EFTA region.[83] The investigation was initiated by the
observation that Microsoft does not reveal or share publicly any data collected
about users of its software. In addition, the company does not provide users of
its (Office) software an option to turn off diagnostic and telemetry data sent
back to the company. Researchers found that most of the data that the Microsoft
software collects and "sends home" is diagnostics. Researchers also observed
that Microsoft "seemingly tried to make the system GDPR compliant by storing
Office documents on servers based in the EU". However, they discovered the
software packages collected additional data that contained private user
information, some of which was stored on servers located in the US.[84] The
Netherlands Ministry of Justice hired Privacy Company to probe and evaluate the
use of Microsoft Office products in the public sector.[85] "Microsoft
systematically collects data on a large scale about the individual use of Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. Covertly, without informing people", researchers
of the Privacy Company stated in their blog post. "Microsoft does not offer any
choice with regard to the amount of data, or possibility to switch off the
collection, or ability to see what data are collected, because the data stream
is encoded."[86]
The researchers commented that there is no need for Microsoft to store
information such as IPs and email addresses, which are collected automatically
by the software. "Microsoft should not store these transient, functional data,
unless the retention is strictly necessary, for example, for security purposes",
the researchers conclude in the final report by the Netherlands Ministry of
Justice.[87]
As a result of this in-depth study and its conclusions, the Netherlands
regulatory body concluded that Microsoft has violated GDPR "on many counts"
including "lack of transparency and purpose limitation, and the lack of a legal
ground for the processing."[88] Microsoft has provided the Dutch authorities
with an "improvement plan" that should satisfy Dutch regulators that it "would
end all violations". The Dutch regulatory body is monitoring the situation and
states that "If progress is deemed insufficient or if the improvements offered
are unsatisfactory, SLM Microsoft Rijk will reconsider its position and may ask
the Dutch Data Protection Authority to carry out a prior consultation and to
impose enforcement measures."[89] When asked for a response by an IT
professional publication, a Microsoft spokesperson stated: "We are committed to
our customers’ privacy, putting them in control of their data and ensuring that
Office ProPlus and other Microsoft products and services comply with GDPR and
other applicable laws. We appreciate the opportunity to discuss our diagnostic
data handling practices in Office ProPlus with the Dutch Ministry of Justice and
look forward to a successful resolution of any concerns."[85] The user privacy
data issue affects ProPlus subscriptions of Microsoft Office 2016 and Microsoft
Office 365, including the online version of Microsoft Office 365.[90]

VERSION HISTORY
Main article: History of Microsoft Office
WINDOWS VERSIONS
Microsoft Office 4.0, inside Windows 3.1
MICROSOFT OFFICE FOR WINDOWS
Microsoft Office for Windows[123] started in October 1990 as a bundle of three
applications designed for Microsoft Windows 3.0: Microsoft Word for Windows 1.1,
Microsoft Excel for Windows 2.0, and Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows 2.0.[124]
Microsoft Office for Windows 1.5 updated the suite with Microsoft Excel
3.0.[125]
Version 1.6[126] added Microsoft Mail for PC Networks 2.1 to the bundle.[127]
MICROSOFT OFFICE 3.0
Microsoft Office 3.0,[128] also called Microsoft Office 92, was released on
August 30, 1992, and[129] contained Word 2.0, Excel 4.0, PowerPoint 3.0 and Mail
3.0. It was the first version of Office also released on CD-ROM.[130] In 1993,
Microsoft Office Professional[131] was released, which added Microsoft Access
1.1.[132]
MICROSOFT OFFICE 4.X
Microsoft Office 4.0 was released containing Word 6.0, Excel 4.0a, PowerPoint
3.0 and Mail in 1993.[133] Word's version number jumped from 2.0 to 6.0 so that
it would have the same version number as the MS-DOS and Macintosh versions
(Excel and PowerPoint were already numbered the same as the Macintosh versions).
Microsoft Office 4.2 for Windows NT was released in 1994 for i386, Alpha,[134]
MIPS and PowerPC[135] architectures, containing Word 6.0 and Excel 5.0 (both
32-bit,[136] PowerPoint 4.0 (16-bit), and Microsoft Office Manager 4.2 (the
precursor to the Office Shortcut Bar)).
MICROSOFT OFFICE 95
Microsoft Office 95 was released on August 24, 1995. Software version numbers
were altered again to create parity across the suite – every program was called
version 7.0 meaning all but Word missed out versions. Office 95 included new
components to the suite such as Schedule+ and Binder. Office for Windows 95 was
designed as a fully 32-bit version to match Windows 95 although some apps not
bundled as part of the suite at that time - Publisher for Windows 95 and Project
95 had some 16-bit components even though their main program executable was
32-bit.
Office 95 was available in two versions, Office 95 Standard and Office 95
Professional. The standard version consisted of Word 7.0, Excel 7.0, PowerPoint
7.0, and Schedule+ 7.0. The professional edition contained all of the items in
the standard version plus Access 7.0. If the professional version was purchased
in CD-ROM form, it also included Bookshelf.
The logo used in Office 95 returns in Office 97, 2000 and XP. Microsoft Office
98 Macintosh Edition also uses a similar logo.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 97
Microsoft Office 97 (Office 8.0) included hundreds of new features and
improvements, such as introducing command bars, a paradigm in which menus and
toolbars were made more similar in capability and visual design. Office 97 also
featured Natural Language Systems and grammar checking. Office 97 featured new
components to the suite including FrontPage 97, Expedia Streets 98 (in Small
Business Edition), and Internet Explorer 3.0 & 4.0.
Office 97 was the first version of Office to include the Office Assistant. In
Brazil, it was also the first version to introduce the Registration Wizard, a
precursor to Microsoft Product Activation. With this release, the accompanying
apps, Project 98 and Publisher 98 also transitioned to fully 32-bit versions.
Exchange Server, a mail server and calendaring server developed by Microsoft, is
the server for Outlook after discontinuing Exchange Client.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2000
Microsoft Office 2000 (Office 9.0) introduced adaptive menus, where little-used
options were hidden from the user. It also introduced a new security feature,
built around digital signatures, to diminish the threat of macro viruses. The
Microsoft Script Editor, an optional tool that can edit script code, was also
introduced in Office 2000.[137] Office 2000 automatically trusts macros (written
in VBA 6) that were digitally signed from authors who have been previously
designated as trusted. Office 2000 also introduces PhotoDraw, a raster and
vector imaging program, as well as Web Components, Visio, and Vizact.
The Registration Wizard, a precursor to Microsoft Product Activation, remained
in Brazil and was also extended to Australia and New Zealand, though not for
volume-licensed editions. Academic software in the United States and Canada also
featured the Registration Wizard.
MICROSOFT OFFICE XP
Microsoft Office XP (Office 10.0 or Office 2002) was released in conjunction
with Windows XP, and was a major upgrade with numerous enhancements and changes
over Office 2000. Office XP introduced the Safe Mode feature, which allows
applications such as Outlook to boot when it might otherwise fail by bypassing a
corrupted registry or a faulty add-in. Smart tag is a technology introduced with
Office XP in Word and Excel and discontinued in Office 2010.
Office XP also introduces new components including Document Imaging, Document
Scanning, Clip Organizer, MapPoint, and Data Analyzer. Binder was replaced by
Unbind, a program that can extract the contents of a Binder file. Unbind can be
installed from the Office XP CD-ROM.
Office XP includes integrated voice command and text dictation capabilities, as
well as handwriting recognition. It was the first version to require Microsoft
Product Activation worldwide and in all editions as an anti-piracy measure,
which attracted widespread controversy.[138] Product Activation remained absent
from Office for Mac releases until it was introduced in Office 2011 for Mac.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2003
Microsoft Office 2003 (Office 11.0) was released in 2003. It featured a new
logo. Two new applications made their debut in Office 2003: Microsoft InfoPath
and OneNote. It is the first version to use new, more colorful icons. Outlook
2003 provides improved functionality in many areas, including Kerberos
authentication, RPC over HTTP, Cached Exchange Mode, and an improved junk mail
filter.
Office 2003 introduces three new programs to the Office product lineup:
InfoPath, a program for designing, filling, and submitting electronic structured
data forms; OneNote, a note-taking program for creating and organizing diagrams,
graphics, handwritten notes, recorded audio, and text; and the Picture Manager
graphics software which can open, manage, and share digital images.
SharePoint, a web collaboration platform codenamed as Office Server, has
integration and compatibility with Office 2003 and so on.[139]
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007
Microsoft Office 2007 (Office 12.0) was released in 2007. Office 2007's new
features include a new graphical user interface called the Fluent User
Interface,[140] replacing the menus and toolbars that have been the cornerstone
of Office since its inception with a tabbed toolbar, known as the Ribbon; new
XML-based file formats called Office Open XML; and the inclusion of Groove, a
collaborative software application.[141]
While Microsoft removed Data Analyzer, FrontPage, Vizact, and Schedule+ from
Office 2007; they also added Communicator, Groove, SharePoint Designer, and
Office Customization Tool (OCT) to the suite.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2010
Microsoft Office 2010 (Office 14.0, Microsoft skipped 13.0 due to fear of
13[142]) was finalized on April 15, 2010, and made available to consumers on
June 15, 2010.[143][144] The main features of Office 2010 include the backstage
file menu, new collaboration tools, a customizable ribbon, protected view and a
navigation panel. Office Communicator, an instant messaging and videotelephony
application, was renamed into Lync 2010.
This is the first version to ship in 32-bit and 64-bit variants. Microsoft
Office 2010 featured a new logo, which resembled the 2007 logo, except in gold,
and with a modification in shape.[145] Microsoft released Service Pack 1 for
Office 2010 on June 28, 2011[146] and Service Pack 2 on July 16, 2013.[147]
Office Online was first released online along with SkyDrive, an online storing
service.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2013
A technical preview of Microsoft Office 2013 (Build 15.0.3612.1010) was released
on January 30, 2012, and a Customer Preview version was made available to
consumers on July 16, 2012.[148] It sports a revamped application interface; the
interface is based on Metro, the interface of Windows Phone and Windows 8.
Microsoft Outlook has received the most pronounced changes so far; for example,
the Metro interface provides a new visualization for scheduled tasks. PowerPoint
includes more templates and transition effects, and OneNote includes a new
splash screen.[149]
On May 16, 2011, new images of Office 15 were revealed, showing Excel with a
tool for filtering data in a timeline, the ability to convert Roman numerals to
Arabic numerals, and the integration of advanced trigonometric functions. In
Word, the capability of inserting video and audio online as well as the
broadcasting of documents on the Web were implemented.[150] Microsoft has
promised support for Office Open XML Strict starting with version 15, a format
Microsoft has submitted to the ISO for interoperability with other office
suites, and to aid adoption in the public sector.[151] This version can read and
write ODF 1.2 (Windows only).[152]
On October 24, 2012, Office 2013 Professional Plus was released to manufacturing
and was made available to TechNet and MSDN subscribers for download.[153] On
November 15, 2012, the 60-day trial version was released for public
download.[154] Office 2013 was released to general availability on January 29,
2013.[155] Service Pack 1 for Office 2013 was released on February 25,
2014.[156] Some applications were completely removed from the entire suite
including SharePoint Workspace, Clip Organizer, and Office Picture Manager.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2016

On January 22, 2015, the Microsoft Office blog announced that the next version
of the suite for Windows desktop, Office 2016, was in development. On May 4,
2015, a public preview of Microsoft Office 2016 was released.[157][158][159]
Office 2016 was released for Mac OS X on July 9, 2015[160] and for Windows on
September 22, 2015.[161]
Users who had the Professional Plus 2016 subscription have the new Skype for
Business app. Microsoft Teams, a team collaboration program meant to rival
Slack, was released as a separate product for business and enterprise users.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2019
Main article: Microsoft Office 2019
On September 26, 2017, Microsoft announced that the next version of the suite
for Windows desktop, Office 2019, was in development. On April 27, 2018,
Microsoft released Office 2019 Commercial Preview for Windows 10.[162] It was
released to general availability for Windows 10 and for macOS on September 24,
2018.[163]
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2021
Main article: Microsoft Office 2021
On February 18, 2021, Microsoft announced that the next version of the suite for
Windows desktop, Office 2021, was in development.[164] This new version will be
supported for five years and was released on October 5, 2021.[165]
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2024
On November 14, 2023, Microsoft announced Office 2024, expected to be rolled out
in the second half of 2024. The announcement was a reversal of their decision to
discontinue the Office brand in January 2023. Like its predecessors, Office 2024
will be able to be purchased under a perpetual license for the desktop.[18]
MAC VERSIONS
Prior to packaging its various office-type Mac OS software applications into
Office, Microsoft released Mac versions of Word 1.0 in 1984, the first year of
the Macintosh computer; Excel 1.0 in 1985; and PowerPoint 1.0 in 1987.[166]
Microsoft does not include its Access database application in Office for Mac.
Microsoft has noted that some features are added to Office for Mac before they
appear in Windows versions, such as Office for Mac 2001's Office Project Gallery
and PowerPoint Movie feature, which allows users to save presentations as
QuickTime movies.[167][168] However, Microsoft Office for Mac has been long
criticized for its lack of support of Unicode and for its lack of support for
right-to-left languages, notably Arabic, Hebrew and Persian.[169][170]
EARLY OFFICE FOR MAC RELEASES (1989–1994)
Microsoft Office for Mac was introduced for Mac OS in 1989, before Office was
released for Windows.[171] It included Word 4.0, Excel 2.2, PowerPoint 2.01, and
Mail 1.37.[172] It was originally a limited-time promotion but later became a
regular product. With the release of Office on CD-ROM later that year, Microsoft
became the first major Mac publisher to put its applications on CD-ROM.[173]
Microsoft Office 1.5 for Mac was released in 1991 and included the updated Excel
3.0, the first application to support Apple's System 7 operating system.[166]
Microsoft Office 3.0 for Mac was released in 1992 and included Word 5.0, Excel
4.0, PowerPoint 3.0 and Mail Client. Excel 4.0 was the first application to
support new AppleScript.[166]
Microsoft Office 4.2 for Mac was released in 1994. (Version 4.0 was skipped to
synchronize version numbers with Office for Windows) Version 4.2 included Word
6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0 and Mail 3.2.[174] It was the first Office suite
for Power Macintosh.[166] Its user interface was identical to Office 4.2 for
Windows[175] leading many customers to comment that it wasn't Mac-like
enough.[167] The final release for Mac 68K was Office 4.2.1, which updated Word
to version 6.0.1, somewhat improving performance.
MICROSOFT OFFICE 98 MACINTOSH EDITION
Microsoft Office 98 Macintosh Edition was unveiled at MacWorld Expo/San
Francisco in 1998. It introduced the Internet Explorer 4.0 web browser and
Outlook Express, an Internet e-mail client and usenet newsgroup reader.[176]
Office 98 was re-engineered by Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit to satisfy
customers' desire for software they felt was more Mac-like.[167] It included
drag–and-drop installation, self-repairing applications and Quick Thesaurus,
before such features were available in Office for Windows. It also was the first
version to support QuickTime movies.[167]
MICROSOFT OFFICE 2001 AND V. X
Microsoft Office v. X box art
Microsoft Office 2001 was launched in 2000 as the last Office suite for the
classic Mac OS. It required a PowerPC processor. This version introduced
Entourage, an e-mail client that included information management tools such as a
calendar, an address book, task lists and notes.[168] Microsoft Office v. X was
released in 2001 and was the first version of Microsoft Office for Mac OS
X.[177] Support for Office v. X ended on January 9, 2007, after the release of
the final update, 10.1.9[178] Office v.X includes Word X, Excel X, PowerPoint X,
Entourage X, MSN Messenger for Mac and Windows Media Player 9 for Mac; it was
the last version of Office for Mac to include Internet Explorer for Mac.[179]
OFFICE 2004
Microsoft Office 2004 for Mac was released on May 11, 2004.[180] It includes
Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Entourage and Virtual PC. It is the final
version of Office to be built exclusively for PowerPC and to officially support
G3 processors, as its sequel lists a G4, G5, or Intel processor as a
requirement. It was notable for supporting Visual Basic for Applications (VBA),
which is unavailable in Office 2008. This led Microsoft to extend support for
Office 2004 from October 13, 2009, to January 10, 2012. VBA functionality was
reintroduced in Office 2011, which is only compatible with Intel processors.
OFFICE 2008
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac was released on January 15, 2008. It was the only
Office for Mac suite to be compiled as a universal binary, being the first to
feature native Intel support and the last to feature PowerPC support for G4 and
G5 processors, although the suite is unofficially compatible with G3 processors.
New features include native Office Open XML file format support, which debuted
in Office 2007 for Windows,[166] and stronger Microsoft Office password
protection employing AES-128 and SHA-1. Benchmarks suggested that compared to
its predecessor, Office 2008 ran at similar speeds on Intel machines and slower
speeds on PowerPC machines.[181] Office 2008 also lacked Visual Basic for
Applications (VBA) support, leaving it with only 15 months of additional
mainstream support compared to its predecessor. Nevertheless, five months after
it was released, Microsoft said that Office 2008 was "selling faster than any
previous version of Office for Mac in the past 19 years" and affirmed "its
commitment to future products for the Mac."[182]
OFFICE 2011
Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 was released on October 26, 2010,.[64] It is the
first version of Office for Mac to be compiled exclusively for Intel processors,
dropping support for the PowerPC architecture. It features an OS X version of
Outlook to replace the Entourage email client. This version of Outlook is
intended to make the OS X version of Office work better with Microsoft's
Exchange server and with those using Office for Windows.[183] Office 2011
includes a Mac-based Ribbon similar to Office for Windows.
ONENOTE AND OUTLOOK RELEASE (2014)
Microsoft OneNote for Mac was released on March 17, 2014. It marks the company's
first release of the note-taking software on the Mac. It is available as a free
download to all users of the Mac App Store in OS X Mavericks.[184]
Microsoft Outlook 2016 for Mac debuted on October 31, 2014. It requires a paid
Office 365 subscription, meaning that traditional Office 2011 retail or volume
licenses cannot activate this version of Outlook. On that day, Microsoft
confirmed that it would release the next version of Office for Mac in late
2015.[185]
Despite dropping support for older versions of OS X and only keeping support for
64-bit-only versions of OS X, these versions of OneNote and Outlook are 32-bit
applications like their predecessors.
OFFICE 2016
Main article: Microsoft Office 2016
The first Preview version of Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac was released on March
5, 2015.[186] On July 9, 2015, Microsoft released the final version of Microsoft
Office 2016 for Mac which includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote.
It was immediately made available for Office 365 subscribers with either a Home,
Personal, Business, Business Premium, E3 or ProPlus subscription. A non–Office
365 edition of Office 2016 was made available as a one-time purchase option on
September 22, 2015.[161]

MOBILE VERSIONS
Office Hub on Windows Phone 8 and 8.1
Office Mobile for iPhone was released on June 14, 2013, in the United
States.[187] Support for 135 markets and 27 languages was rolled out over a few
days.[188] It requires iOS 8 or later.[189] Although the app also works on iPad
devices, excluding the first generation, it is designed for a small screen.[187]
Office Mobile was released for Android phones on July 31, 2013, in the United
States. Support for 117 markets and 33 languages was added gradually over
several weeks.[190] It is supported on Android 4.0 and later.[191]
Office Mobile is or was also available, though no longer supported, on Windows
Mobile, Windows Phone and Symbian. Windows RT devices (such as Microsoft
Surface) were bundled with "Office RT", a port of the PC version of Office 2013
to ARM architecture. The applications contain most of the functionality
available in their versions for Intel-compatible PCs, but some features have
been removed.[192][193]
EARLY OFFICE MOBILE RELEASES
Originally called Office Mobile which was shipped initially as "Pocket Office",
was released by Microsoft with the Windows CE 1.0 operating system in 1996. This
release was specifically for the Handheld PC hardware platform, as Windows
Mobile Smartphone and Pocket PC hardware specifications had not yet been
released. It consisted of Pocket Word and Pocket Excel; PowerPoint, Access, and
Outlook were added later. With steady updates throughout subsequent releases of
Windows Mobile, Office Mobile was rebranded as its current name after the
release of the Windows Mobile 5.0 operating system. This release of Office
Mobile also included PowerPoint Mobile for the first time.[194] Accompanying the
release of Microsoft OneNote 2007, a new optional addition to the Office Mobile
line of programs was released as OneNote Mobile.[195] With the release of
Windows Mobile 6 Standard, Office Mobile became available for the Smartphone
hardware platform, but unlike Office Mobile for the Professional and Classic
versions of Windows Mobile, creation of new documents is not an added
feature.[196]A popular workaround is to create a new blank document in a desktop
version of Office, synchronize it to the device, and then edit and save on the
Windows Mobile device.
In June 2007, Microsoft announced a new version of the office suite, Office
Mobile 2007. It became available as "Office Mobile 6.1" on September 26, 2007,
as a free upgrade download to current Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6 users. However,
"Office Mobile 6.1 Upgrade" is not compatible with Windows Mobile 5.0 powered
devices running builds earlier than 14847. It is a pre-installed feature in
subsequent releases of Windows Mobile 6 devices.[197] Office Mobile 6.1 is
compatible with the Office Open XML specification like its desktop
counterpart.[197]
On August 12, 2009, it was announced that Office Mobile would also be released
for the Symbian platform as a joint agreement between Microsoft and
Nokia.[198][199] It was the first time Microsoft would develop Office mobile
applications for another smartphone platform.[200] The first application to
appear on Nokia Eseries smartphones was Microsoft Office Communicator. In
February 2012, Microsoft released OneNote, Lync 2010, Document Connection and
PowerPoint Broadcast for Symbian.[201] In April, Word Mobile, PowerPoint Mobile
and Excel Mobile joined the Office Suite.[202]
On October 21, 2010, Microsoft debuted Office Mobile 2010 with the release of
Windows Phone 7. In Windows Phone, users can access and edit documents directly
off of their SkyDrive or Office 365 accounts in a dedicated Office hub. The
Office Hub, which is preinstalled into the operating system, contains Word,
PowerPoint and Excel. The operating system also includes OneNote, although not
as a part of the Office Hub. Lync is not included, but can be downloaded as
standalone app from the Windows Phone Store free of charge.
In October 2012, Microsoft released a new version of Microsoft Office Mobile for
Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.8.
OFFICE FOR ANDROID, IOS AND WINDOWS 10 MOBILE
Office Mobile was released for iPhone on June 14, 2013, and for Android phones
on July 31, 2013.
In March 2014, Microsoft released Office Lens, a scanner app that enhances
photos. Photos are then attached to an Office document. Office Lens is an app in
the Windows Phone store, as well as built into the camera functionality in the
OneNote apps for iOS and Windows 8.[203]
Word on the iPhone
On March 27, 2014, Microsoft launched Office for iPad, the first dedicated
version of Office for tablet computers. In addition, Microsoft made the Android
and iOS versions of Office Mobile free for 'home use' on phones, although the
company still requires an Office 365 subscription for using Office Mobile for
business use.[204][205][206][207][208] On November 6, 2014, Office was
subsequently made free for personal use on the iPad in addition to phones. As
part of this announcement, Microsoft also split up its single "Office suite" app
on iPhones into separate, standalone apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint,
released a revamped version of Office Mobile for iPhone, added direct
integration with Dropbox, and previewed future versions of Office for other
platforms.[209][210]
Office for Android tablets was released on January 29, 2015,[211] following a
successful two-month preview period.[212] These apps allow users to edit and
create documents for free on devices with screen sizes of 10.1 inches or less,
though as with the iPad versions, an Office 365 subscription is required to
unlock premium features and for commercial use of the apps. Tablets with screen
sizes larger than 10.1 inches are also supported, but, as was originally the
case with the iPad version, are restricted to viewing documents only unless a
valid Office 365 subscription is used to enable editing and document creation.
On January 21, 2015, during the "Windows 10: The Next Chapter" press event,
Microsoft unveiled Office for Windows 10, Windows Runtime ports of the Android
and iOS versions of the Office Mobile suite. Optimized for smartphones and
tablets, they are universal apps that can run on both Windows and Windows for
phones, and share similar underlying code. A simplified version of Outlook was
also added to the suite. They will be bundled with Windows 10 mobile devices,
and available from the Windows Store for the PC version of Windows 10.[158][157]
Although the preview versions were free for most editing, the release versions
will require an Office 365 subscription on larger tablets (screen size larger
than 10.1 inches) and desktops for editing, as with large Android tablets.
Smaller tablets and phones will have most editing features for free.[213]
On June 24, 2015, Microsoft released Word, Excel and PowerPoint as standalone
apps on Google Play for Android phones, following a one-month preview.[214]
These apps have also been bundled with Android devices from major OEMs, as a
result of Microsoft tying distribution of them and Skype to patent-licensing
agreements related to the Android platform.[215][216][217] The Android version
is also supported on certain ChromeOS machines.[218]
On February 19, 2020, Microsoft announced a new unified Office mobile app for
Android and iOS. This app combines Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into a single app
and introduces new capabilities as making quick notes, signing PDFs, scanning QR
codes, and transferring files.[23]
ONLINE VERSIONS
Office Web Apps was first revealed in October 2008 at PDC 2008 in Los
Angeles.[219] Chris Capossela, senior vice president of Microsoft business
division, introduced Office Web Apps as lightweight versions of Word, Excel,
PowerPoint and OneNote that allow people to create, edit and collaborate on
Office documents through a web browser. According to Capossela, Office Web Apps
was to become available as a part of Office Live Workspace.[220] Office Web Apps
was announced to be powered by AJAX as well as Silverlight; however, the latter
is optional and its availability will only "enhance the user experience,
resulting in sharper images and improved rendering."[221] Microsoft's Business
Division President Stephen Elop stated during PDC 2008 that "a technology
preview of Office Web Apps would become available later in 2008".[222] However,
the Technical Preview of Office Web Apps was not released until 2009.
On July 13, 2009, Microsoft announced at its Worldwide Partners Conference 2009
in New Orleans that Microsoft Office 2010 reached its "Technical Preview"
development milestone and features of Office Web Apps were demonstrated to the
public for the first time.[223] Additionally, Microsoft announced that Office
Web Apps would be made available to consumers online and free of charge, while
Microsoft Software Assurance customers will have the option of running them on
premises. Office 2010 beta testers were not given access to Office Web Apps at
this date, and it was announced that it would be available for testers during
August 2009.[224] However, in August 2009, a Microsoft spokesperson stated that
there had been a delay in the release of Office Web Apps Technical Preview and
it would not be available by the end of August.[225]
Microsoft officially released the Technical Preview of Office Web Apps on
September 17, 2009.[226] Office Web Apps was made available to selected testers
via its OneDrive (at the time Skydrive) service. The final version of Office Web
Apps was made available to the public via Windows Live Office on June 7,
2010.[24]
On October 22, 2012, Microsoft announced the release of new features including
co-authoring, performance improvements and touch support.[227]
On November 6, 2013, Microsoft announced further new features including
real-time co-authoring and an Auto-Save feature in Word (replacing the save
button).[228][30][31]
In February 2014, Office Web Apps were re-branded Office Online and incorporated
into other Microsoft web services, including Calendar, OneDrive, Outlook.com,
and People.[229] Microsoft had previously attempted to unify its online services
suite (including Microsoft Passport, Hotmail, MSN Messenger, and later SkyDrive)
under a brand known as Windows Live, first launched in 2005. However, with the
impending launch of Windows 8 and its increased use of cloud services, Microsoft
dropped the Windows Live brand to emphasize that these services would now be
built directly into Windows and not merely be a "bolted on" add-on. Critics had
criticized the Windows Live brand for having no clear vision, as it was being
applied to an increasingly broad array of unrelated services.[230][231] At the
same time, Windows Live Hotmail was re-launched as Outlook.com (sharing its name
with the Microsoft Outlook personal information manager).[232]
In July 2019, Microsoft announced that they were retiring the "Online" branding
for Office Online. The product is now Office, and may be referred to as "Office
for the web" or "Office in a browser".[233]
