Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 is a bundle of the most essential desktop applications: Word 2003 for word processing, Excel 2003 for spreadsheets, PowerPoint 2003 for presentations and Outlook 2003 for e-mail and personal information. Office applications share a common look and feel, which means there's less to learn when switching between them. There are also shared components, such as the drawing tools, that let you create charts, diagrams and text effects. Another strong point is that Visual Basic for Applications is fully integrated, enabling anything from simple macros to custom solutions that automate one or more of the Office applications. Office has been a highly capable product for years, making it hard for Microsoft to come up with compelling new features. New in Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003 is great integration with SharePoint Services running on Windows Server 2003, allowing users to save documents to an internal website with features such as update notification, task lists and version control. Tablet PC users get built-in support for Ink, letting you add handwritten notes and drawings to Office documents. Those with constant Internet access will like the updated Task Pane, offering online help and potentially third-party services direct from the Internet. Outlook has been reworked in this edition, with a better interface and more secure e-mail reading. Word 2003 is enhanced with a new Reading view, using ClearType technology and automatic page-sizing for ease in reading online documents. Although this is the Student and Teacher edition, it is comprehensive and feature-rich. There is also a professional edition, which adds the Access 2003 database manager, Publisher 2003 for desktop publishing and some additional features in the area of XML support and rights management. Office deserves its position as the leading productivity suite. It's an excellent deal, but makes less sense as an upgrade unless you have a tablet PC or will make use of the new collaboration features. --Tim Anderson

Not quite there February 9, 2007

I find MS Office 2003 S&T edition meets most of my needs - but I miss Access, even though I only used it occasionally. Contrary to other people's experience, I can spell-check other languages - eg set Microsoft Office Language Settings to enable French, and then in Word under Tools/Language/Set Language tick "detect language automatically". This should find French text and spell-check it fine, even in mixed English/French documents.
 Good product but others do 99% the same for FREE February 7, 2007

Microsoft Office is excellent software, but why to pay when you can get on the net a free office tool who does 99% the same of the Microsoft product? [...], or www.abisource.com I understand for some corporations Microsoft office is needed for legal reasons. Another excellent software is the last Wordperfect X3. You can have Tesco software as well very cheap if you feel you need to pay. All of them do very similar things including PDF (postcript is better), direct connection to you email because we cannot attach files anymore, solver functions and so on. I am trying to say I believe it is overpriced, you can get nearly the same for free.

Office runs perfectly on my system and I have no complaints, it is quick efficient, and is full of useful features. This is probably my most used software and is excellent. My sole problem is using Office in different languages, it can be a real pain when your trying to type something up in a different language and it keeps correcting you when you are actually right in the first place.
really a 'big-up' for Amazon June 9, 2006

I needed this Super Quick, but as I live in the middle of nowhere in remote Scotland I doubted the ability of Amazon to deliver the next day.
How wrong...it arrived before 12.
Despite the fact it will no work on my ancient machine...it works perfectly on my daddy's and took less than 10 minutes to be up and running.
Thank you Amazon...again.

I find that the multiple language support on MSOffice is rather poor as I can find no way to get it to spellcheck in anything other than English. So, a few weeks ago I downloded Openoffice.org, which is free, and tried that. Changing the language on OO actually works, unlike on MS Office, and even auto-corrected some words. I have, however, only tried this with italian.
Anyway, if you require multiple language support then I would suggest that you download Openoffice first and see if that supports the required language before paying for MS.
