Description

Office Professional Plus 2007 is part of the Microsoft Office system, an integrated collection of programs, servers, and services designed to work together to enable optimized information work. The Professional Plus suite includes:
  • Microsoft Office Access 2007: A relational database management system that helps information workers track and report information
  • Microsoft Office Communicator 2007: A unified communications client that works in conjunction with Office Communications Server 2007 to enable users to talk to each other using instant messaging (IM), voice, or video and to switch back and forth between modes
  • Microsoft Office Excel 2007: A spreadsheet application with data analysis and visualization tools
  • Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007: An information-gathering program using electronic forms deployed through Web browsers, email messages, or mobile devices
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2007: A time and information manager that integrates email, calendar, contacts, and tasks
  • Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007: A presentation graphics program with capabilities for text effects, sound, and animation
  • Microsoft Office Publisher 2007: A desktop publishing program that allows people with basic layout skills to create a wide variety of publications for desktop printing, commercial printing, email distribution, or viewing on the Web
  • Microsoft Office Word 2007: A full-featured word-processing program

The Standard suite offers the core applications Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word.

In the 2007 version, Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word have a new user interface. For example, menus and toolbars are replaced by the Ribbon, a set of tabs that display commands that apply to particular types of tasks. Some tabs are contextual, appearing only when a relevant task is being performed.

Improved integration with Windows SharePoint Services helps to reduce the complexity of working together on documents through centralized document storage, version tracking, and feedback management.

Installing this product requires a license key and installation media. If you don't already have it, please request the free installation media when prompted during checkout. No physical product will be sent unless you request the installation media. After your order is processed, instructions for obtaining the license key will be sent to your organization email address.

  • SmartArt diagramming and enhanced charting capabilities make it easy to create professional-looking diagrams and charts. In addition, it is now easy to apply shading, reflections, glow, transparency, and other 3-D effects.
  • The Document Inspector feature makes it easy to remove "invisible" information such as comments, hidden text, and properties in Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations, so work can be shared with confidence.

Restrictions

Donated product will be distributed under this program to qualifying libraries only, not to individuals. Only public libraries are eligible to participate in the Microsoft Public Libraries Software Donation Program. U.S. public libraries must either have valid 501(c)(3) nonprofit status or be listed in the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) database. Canadian public libraries must appear on a list collected for us by the Public Library Services Branch, Ministry of Education in British Columbia. Qualified public libraries may request Microsoft software donations through this program for public access computers only (donated software may not be used for back-office or other administration purposes, unless the public computers are on a shared network which also hosts the personal computers of library staff). Participating libraries must also make their collection and basic services available to the population of their legal service area without charges to individual users (excluding incidental fees such as printing charges). If they so choose, libraries may impose charges on users outside the legal service area, and may provide products and services (beyond basic services), to the public at large, with or without individual charges. Each qualified public library may request up to six titles, and up to 50 licenses per title per two-year period.
Exceptions:
  • For server titles, one server license per title and up to 50 Client Access Licenses (CALs) may be requested (i.e. customers may not order two copies of the same server title).
  • Server licenses with accompanying CALS will together count as two separate titles towards the six-title limit.
Customers may order additional licenses of software titles that they already received through TechSoup Stock (as part of their previous order within the two-year ordering cycle). This is true even if the current title is an upgraded version of the original software. Such orders will not count against the 6-title limit. However, the total number of licenses requested for this title (between the two orders) may not exceed 50. Each qualified public library will be eligible to make one donation request for Microsoft products and licenses each year through TechSoup Stock (for example, a library that ordered on 10/1/05 may place a new order on 10/1/06). Though libraries may order twice (once per year) within a two-year period, the combined total of products ordered in a two-year period may not exceed six titles and 50 user licenses per title (or one license per server title). Once two years have passed since a library's original order, these limits will be reset (for example, a customer that placed an order on 10/1/05 may order six new titles and 50 licenses per title (or one license per server title) on 10/1/07). Microsoft products are not available for distribution to the following libraries:
  • Private libraries, including those open to the public
  • Academic libraries
  • K-12 school libraries
  • Special libraries, including those defined as "corporate," "religious," "medical," or "legal"
  • Armed forces libraries
  • Libraries in government agencies
Donations will be fulfilled using Microsoft Open Licensing. This means that boxed (full packaged) products and paper licenses will not be shipped to charities and nonprofits through this program. Instead, an email will arrive with an authorization number for approved requests and directions to go to a Microsoft Web page to download licensing agreements. Software media (CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs) will be sent directly from Microsoft via air mail. Each order must include a minimum of five "seats" - 1 License = 1 Seat, each license counts individually towards the five licenses total. More information about the five-seat minimum is available in the Microsoft Public Libraries Software Donation Program FAQ. Microsoft may, at its sole discretion, provide "functionally equivalent" substitute product(s) for any request or order. Organizations that advocate, support, or practice discrimination based on age, ethnicity, gender, national origin, disability, race, size, religion, sexual orientation, or socioeconomic background are not eligible to participate in this program. Organizations must be willing and able to attest that they do not discriminate on any of these grounds in order to receive donations. Microsoft products may not be transferred or resold. Additionally, Microsoft products may not be installed on computers that will be given to or sold to other organizations or individuals.
