Free Microsoft Office 2007 package upon Star registration

Cape Town, South Africa – 21st November 2007 - Star Internet Service Provider is currently offering customers the opportunity to receive a free copy of the latest edition of Microsoft Office, Microsoft Office Professional 2007, which is worth over 355 Pounds. All prospective customers need to do is register for a Star Business Hosting Package, which runs on a Microsoft Windows Server platform. There is a need to hurry though, as only the first 50 customers to register will qualify for the free package opportunity.

Microsoft has been hard at work developing the new 2007 Office edition, making numerous changes to the package to make it more user-friendly and to streamline the workspace, enabling users to work more quickly and efficiently. The direct result of all their hard work is the Microsoft Office Fluent User Interface, which simplifies use of the Office applications. In this way users can get more out of them and deliver better results in a shorter timeframe.

Previous editions of Microsoft Office used a menus and toolbars system to display functions and applications but with the new advancements enabling the programmes to operate on a much larger scale, this system has become outdated. There are so many new features that they would be difficult for users to find. The main goal of the Fluent User Interface is to make it easier for users to find the full range of features provided and then use the applications in the correct manner.

Some of the key features that allow users to feel so comfortable working with the new interface include:
The Ribbon: It replaces the menus and toolbars that we have become so used to seeing, and instead presents commands that are arranged into a set of tabs. The tabs simplify access to the application features. The commands are organised in a way that corresponds directly to the tasks that users would perform in these applications, thereby simplifying the system.

The Microsoft Office Button serves as a single entry point that the User Interface uses to merge the capabilities of the Office system. The advantages of this are two-fold: first, it allows the users to find the features easily and second, it simplifies the authoring scenarios by letting the Ribbon focus on creating successful documents.

Galleries play a very important role in the new User Interface. They provide a clear set of results to choose from when working on any one of the Office programmes. They simplify the process of producing professional work by presenting a set of potential results rather than a complex dialogue box containing numerous options. Dialogue boxes are still available for those who want them.

Live preview: Shows the results of an editing or formatting change by moving the pointer over the potential results shown in the Gallery. This assists in the process of editing, formatting and determining the layout of your document, spreadsheet, etc and produces better results in less time and with less effort.
