Microsoft Office 2010 Offers New and Exciting Features

Microsoft 2010 offers a lot of new advanced features that aim at appeasing all the user complaints that stemmed from Microsoft 2007 and Vista. Many found it lacked a sense of user-friendliness. Office 2010 tries to improve usability and grant the ability to do more within each individual program. This includes options like editing photos or videos within PowerPoint. Within the application, you can add artistic effects that you previously may have relied on an outside program for. In the screenshot below, you can see the added capabilities that are available.

Changes to Microsoft Outlook include a new feature called the Ignore button which essentially allows you to put unwanted threads in the Deleted Items folder. Another attribute of Outlook is called the Social Connector, which basically embeds social networking options. This means profiles and updates from Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace will all be located in your inbox.

OneNote is now a part of every level in Office 2010. This application is set up just like a notebook with different sections and allows you to import items from other Office programs. It continues with the goals of Office 2010 to enhance the functionality of each program.
