This page will contain news stories about office 2003, as they become available.Microsoft OfficeMicrosoft Office is a suite of productivity programs created by Microsoft and developed for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems. As well as the office applications, it includes associated servers and Web-based services. Recent versions of Office are now called the 'Office System' rather than the 'Office Suite' to reflect the fact that they include Servers as well. Office made its first appearance in the early '90s, and was initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications that were previously marketed and sold separately. The main selling point was that buying the bundle was substantially cheaper than buying each of the individual applications on their own. The first version of Office contained Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Additionally, a "Pro" version of Office included Microsoft Access and Schedule Plus. Over the years the Office applications have grown substantially closer together from a technical standpoint, sharing features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration and the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. In recent years, Microsoft has attempted to position Office as a development platform in its own right, but has had mixed results with this. Office is currently the most popular office suite in the world and considered to be the de facto standard for productivity programs, although its market share is currently decreasing with the rise of viable free and open source alternatives. It has certain features not present in other suites, and other programs have capabilities Office lacks. The next version, 12.0, will have a radically different user interface from the older versions. Office programsThese programs are included in all editions of Microsoft Office 2003, except Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003. Microsoft Office Basic Edition includes Word, Excel and Outlook only. Office WordMicrosoft Word is a word processor. It is considered to be the main program of Office. It possesses a dominant market share in the word processor market. Its proprietary DOC format is considered a de facto standard, although its most recent version, Word 11.0/2003, also supports an XML-based format. Word is also available in some editions of Microsoft Works. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Writer, StarOffice, Corel WordPerfect, Apple Pages and AbiWord. Office ExcelMicrosoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. Like Microsoft Word, it possesses a dominant market share. It was originally a competitor to the dominant Lotus 1-2-3 but it eventually outsold it and became the de facto standard. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Calc, StarOffice, Corel Quattro Pro and Gnumeric. SPSS is often used for advanced statistical applications. Office OutlookMicrosoft Outlook, not to be confused with Outlook Express, is a personal information manager and e-mail communication software. The replacement for Microsoft Mail starting in the 1997 version of Office, it includes an e-mail client, calendar, task manager and address book. Its e-mail program's main competitors are Mozilla Thunderbird/Mozilla, and Eudora. Its personal information manager's main competitors are Mozilla, Lotus Organizer, and Novell Evolution. It is available for Windows; a version is also included with most Pocket PC handhelds. Its Macintosh equivalent is Microsoft Entourage. Office PowerPointMicrosoft PowerPoint is a popular presentation program for Windows and Macintosh. It is used to create slideshows, composed of text, graphics, movies and other objects, which can be displayed on-screen and navigated through by the presenter or printed out on transparencies or slides. Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto) will have a version of this program. It possesses a dominant market share. Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Impress, Corel WordPerfect and Apple Keynote. Other programs included in the Windows versionsAn office dinosaur, as depicted in a Microsoft Office ad encouraging businesses to update.

Older programs no longer included
Since 1997 Office has included Office Assistant, a system that uses animated characters to offer unrequested context-sensitive suggestions to users and access to relevant parts of the help system. Intended to make the software less intimidating to new users, it is typically disabled by experienced users. The Assistant is often dubbed "Clippy" or "Clippit," due to its default to a paperclip character, coded as CLIPPIT.ACS. The Assistant is the main use of Microsoft Agent technology. Also, beginning with Macintosh Office 4.2, the Macintosh and Windows versions of Office share the same file format. Consequently, any Macintosh with Office 4.2 or later can read documents created with Windows Office 4.2 or later, and vice-versa. Office 11.0/2003 introduced a new, optional file format for the entire suite, built on XML technology. Office X for Mac is also built to handle this file format. Other related companion servers
EditionsThe Windows version of Microsoft Office 11.0/2003 is available in six editions: (Please note that for the most part, pricing reflects installation on only a single computer.)
The Macintosh version, Microsoft Office for Mac 2004, is available in three editions. All include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. They are identical except for pricing and the inclusion of Virtual PC in the Professional Edition.

Add insA major feature of applications in the Office suite is the ability for users and third party companies to write Office COM add-ins. Component Object Model (COM) add-ins are supplemental programs that extend the capabilities of an application by adding custom commands and specialized features that can accommodate specific tasks. TriviaScreenshot of Word 97 running on Windows NT 3.51For some reason, most versions of Microsoft Office (including 97 and later, and possibly 4.3) use their own widget set, and as a result do not exactly match the native operating system. Whereas Windows uses "Service Packs", Office used to release "Service Releases". However, after Office 2000 Service Release 1, Office releases only Service Packs. Service Releases are not cumulative (i.e. it is necessary to install each release in turn) whereas Service Packs are. This means that any copy of the original Office 2000 ("RTM" or "Gold" in Microsoft documentation) requires Service Release 1 to be installed before a Service Pack can be installed. AlternativesThere are also several alternative office suites available, including:

[5]. More information and the song can be found on the NPR website. It is for Windows, free-of-charge. National Public Radio interviews concerning the rediscovery of the species were conducted with residents of Brinkley, Arkansas, and then shared with musician Sufjan Stevens who used the material to write a song titled "Lord God Bird". It is not designed to replace MS Office, and has only compatibilities of reading Office files. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is sometimes referred to as the Grail Bird or the Lord God Bird (a name shared with the Pileated Woodpecker). Microsoft Office Converters and Viewers, provided by Microsoft. Others have independently come to the same conclusion, and publication of independent analyses may be forthcoming...For scientists to label sight reports and questionable photographs as “proof” of such an extraordinary record is delving into “faith-based” ornithology and doing a disservice to science.[8]. There are also several alternative office suites available, including:. Prum, Robbins, Brett Benz, and I remain steadfast in our belief that the bird in the Luneau video is a normal Pileated Woodpecker. This means that any copy of the original Office 2000 ("RTM" or "Gold" in Microsoft documentation) requires Service Release 1 to be installed before a Service Pack can be installed. In a paper published in The Auk in January 2006, Jerome Jackson expressed skepticism of the Ivory-bill evidence:. it is necessary to install each release in turn) whereas Service Packs are. The Committee is waiting for unequivocal proof that the species still exists. Service Releases are not cumulative (i.e. The ABA Checklist Committee has not changed the status of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker from Code 6 (EXTINCT) to another level that would reflect a small surviving population. However, after Office 2000 Service Release 1, Office releases only Service Packs. On page 13 of the American Birding Association publication "Winging It" (Nov/Dec 2005), it says:. Whereas Windows uses "Service Packs", Office used to release "Service Releases". Prum, intrigued by some of the recordings taken in Arkansas' Big Woods, said the evidence thus far is refutable.[7]. For some reason, most versions of Microsoft Office (including 97 and later, and possibly 4.3) use their own widget set, and as a result do not exactly match the native operating system. In December 2005, Richard Prum's position was presented this way:. Component Object Model (COM) add-ins are supplemental programs that extend the capabilities of an application by adding custom commands and specialized features that can accommodate specific tasks. Some skeptics, including Richard Prum, believe the video could have been of a Pileated Woodpecker [6]. A major feature of applications in the Office suite is the ability for users and third party companies to write Office COM add-ins. Cornell could not say with absolute certainty that the sounds recorded in Arkansas were made by Ivory-billeds[5]. There are variants of more recent versions such as Small Business Edition, Student and Teacher Edition, Professional Edition and Developer Edition with different collections of applications and pricing points. In August 2005, despite the arguments for the existence of at least one Ivory-billed Woodpecker, questions about the evidence remained. However, all versions are known to work to some extent. But the thrilling new sound recordings provide clear and convincing evidence that the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is not extinct. The older, simpler versions tend to run considerably better on WINE than newer ones. We were very skeptical of the first published reports, and thought that the previous data were not sufficient to support this startling conclusion. However, most versions of the suite can also be run on Unix-like operating systems through the use of a compatibility layer such as CrossOver Office or WINE. Yale ornithologist Richard Prum stated:. Microsoft develops Office primarily for Windows and secondarily for Macintosh. However, after reviewing new sound recordings from the White River of Arkansas supplied to them by the Cornell team that reported the rediscovery, they announced in August 2005 that they had concluded that the bird has indeed been rediscovered and withdrew their paper. Pricing as of April 9, 2005 [3] [4]. In June 2005, ornithologists at Yale University, the University of Kansas, and Florida Gulf Coast University submitted a scientific article skeptical of the initial reports of rediscovery. They are identical except for pricing and the inclusion of Virtual PC in the Professional Edition. There are stories from when the species was more abundant of adult birds abandoning their nests and young simply because they were being watched. All include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Entourage. This is exactly what birders have been encouraged not to do by experts to avoid disturbing the birds. The Macintosh version, Microsoft Office for Mac 2004, is available in three editions. A current concern is that many bird enthusiasts will rush to the area in an attempt to catch a glimpse of this rare bird. The Windows version of Microsoft Office 11.0/2003 is available in six editions: (Please note that for the most part, pricing reflects installation on only a single computer.). It describes the potential for a thinly distributed population in the area, though no birds have been located away from the primary site. Office X for Mac is also built to handle this file format. The report also notes that drumming consistent with that of Ivory-billed Woodpecker had been heard in the region. Office 11.0/2003 introduced a new, optional file format for the entire suite, built on XML technology. That same video included an earlier image of what was believed to be such a bird perching on a Water Tupelo (Nyssa aquatica). Consequently, any Macintosh with Office 4.2 or later can read documents created with Windows Office 4.2 or later, and vice-versa. A very large woodpecker was videotaped on April 25, 2004; its size, wing pattern at rest and in flight, and white plumage on its back between the wings were cited as evidence that the woodpecker sighted was an Ivory-billed Woodpecker. Also, beginning with Macintosh Office 4.2, the Macintosh and Windows versions of Office share the same file format. The secrecy permitted The Nature Conservancy and Cornell University to quietly buy up Ivory-billed habitat to add to the 120,000 acres (490 km²) of the Big Woods protected by the Conservancy. The Assistant is the main use of Microsoft Agent technology. About fifteen sightings occurred during the period (seven of which were considered compelling enough to mention in the scientific article), possibly all of the same bird. The Assistant is often dubbed "Clippy" or "Clippit," due to its default to a paperclip character, coded as CLIPPIT.ACS. This report led to more intensive searches there and in the White River National Wildlife Refuge undertaken in deepest secrecy—for fear of a stampede of bird-watchers—by experienced observers over the next fourteen months. Intended to make the software less intimidating to new users, it is typically disabled by experienced users. One of the authors, who was kayaking in the Cache River National Wildlife Refuge, Monroe County, Arkansas, on February 11, 2004, reported on a website the sighting of an unusually large red-crested woodpecker. Since 1997 Office has included Office Assistant, a system that uses animated characters to offer unrequested context-sensitive suggestions to users and access to relevant parts of the help system. A group of seventeen authors headed by the Cornell Lab of Ornithology reported the discovery of at least one Ivory-billed Woodpecker, a male, in the Big Woods area of Arkansas in 2004 and 2005, publishing the report in the journal Science on April 28, 2005. Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Impress, Corel WordPerfect and Apple Keynote. The expedition was inconclusive, however, as it was determined that the recorded sounds were likely gunshot echoes rather than the distinctive double rap of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker [4]. It possesses a dominant market share. The exact source of the sound was not found because of the swampy terrain, but signs of active woodpeckers were found (i.e., scaled bark and large tree cavities). Windows Mobile 2005 (Magneto) will have a version of this program. In the afternoon of January 27, after ten days, a rapping sound similar to the "double knock" made by the Ivory-billed Woodpecker was heard and recorded. It is used to create slideshows, composed of text, graphics, movies and other objects, which can be displayed on-screen and navigated through by the presenter or printed out on transparencies or slides. In a 2002 expedition in the forests, swamps, and bayous of the Pearl River Wildlife Management Area by Louisiana State University, biologists spent 30 days searching for the bird [3]. Microsoft PowerPoint is a popular presentation program for Windows and Macintosh. In 1999, there was an unconfirmed sighting of a pair of birds in the Pearl River region of southeast Louisiana by a forestry student, David Kulivan. Its Macintosh equivalent is Microsoft Entourage. This assessment was later altered to "critically endangered" on the grounds that the species could still be extant [2]. It is available for Windows; a version is also included with most Pocket PC handhelds. Many ornithologists believed the species had been wiped out completely, and it was assessed as "extinct" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources in 1994. Its personal information manager's main competitors are Mozilla, Lotus Organizer, and Novell Evolution. bairdii), after a long interval, was in 1987; it has not been seen since. Its e-mail program's main competitors are Mozilla Thunderbird/Mozilla, and Eudora. p. The replacement for Microsoft Mail starting in the 1997 version of Office, it includes an e-mail client, calendar, task manager and address book. The last reported sighting of the Cuban subspecies (C. Microsoft Outlook, not to be confused with Outlook Express, is a personal information manager and e-mail communication software. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker was listed as an endangered species on March 11, 1967, though the only evidence of its existence at the time was a possible recording of its call made in East Texas. SPSS is often used for advanced statistical applications. By 1944 the last known Ivory-billed Woodpecker, a female, was gone from the cut-over tract (Smithsonian p 98). Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Calc, StarOffice, Corel Quattro Pro and Gnumeric. By 1938, only 20 or so individuals remained in the wild, located in the old-growth forest called the Singer Tract in Louisiana, where logging rights were held by the Chicago Mill and Lumber Company, which brushed aside pleas from four Southern governors and the National Audubon Society that the tract be publicly purchased and set aside as a reserve. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. It was given up for extinct in the 1920s, when a pair turned up in Florida, only to be shot for specimens. It was originally a competitor to the dominant Lotus 1-2-3 but it eventually outsold it and became the de facto standard. Heavy logging activity and hunting by collectors decimated the population of Ivory-billed Woodpeckers in the late 1800s. Like Microsoft Word, it possesses a dominant market share. The whole family will eventually split up in late fall or early winter. Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program. Even after the young are able to fly, the parents will continue feeding them for another two months. Its main competitors are OpenOffice.org Writer, StarOffice, Corel WordPerfect, Apple Pages and AbiWord. About five weeks after the young are born, they learn to fly. It is available for the Windows and Macintosh platforms. They feed the chicks for months. Word is also available in some editions of Microsoft Works. Both parents sit on the eggs and are involved in taking care of the chicks, with the male taking sole responsibility at night. Its proprietary DOC format is considered a de facto standard, although its most recent version, Word 11.0/2003, also supports an XML-based format. Usually 2 to 5 eggs are laid and incubated for 3 to 5 weeks. It possesses a dominant market share in the word processor market. Before they have their young, they excavate a nest in a dead or partially dead tree about 8–15 m up from the ground. It is considered to be the main program of Office. These paired birds will mate every year between January and May. Microsoft Word is a word processor. Pairs are also known to travel together. Microsoft Office Basic Edition includes Word, Excel and Outlook only. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is thought to pair for life. These programs are included in all editions of Microsoft Office 2003, except Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003. The more common Pileated Woodpecker may compete for food with this species. . Hence, they occur at low densities even in healthy populations. It has certain features not present in other suites, and other programs have capabilities Office lacks. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker feeds mainly on the larvae of wood-boring beetles, but also eats seeds, fruit, and other insects. Office is currently the most popular office suite in the world and considered to be the de facto standard for productivity programs, although its market share is currently decreasing with the rise of viable free and open source alternatives. After the Civil War, the timber industry deforested millions of acres in the South, leaving only sparse isolated tracts of suitable habitat. In recent years, Microsoft has attempted to position Office as a development platform in its own right, but has had mixed results with this. At that time, the Ivory-billed Woodpecker ranged from east Texas to North Carolina, and from southern Illinois to Florida and Cuba [1]. Over the years the Office applications have grown substantially closer together from a technical standpoint, sharing features such as a common spell checker, OLE data integration and the Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications scripting language. Prior to the American Civil War, much of the Southern United States was covered in vast tracts of primeval hardwood forests that were suitable as habitat for the bird. Additionally, a "Pro" version of Office included Microsoft Access and Schedule Plus. Ivory-billeds are known to prefer thick hardwood swamps and pine forests, with large amounts of dead and decaying trees. The first version of Office contained Word, Excel and Powerpoint. . The main selling point was that buying the bundle was substantially cheaper than buying each of the individual applications on their own. Even if the Ivory-billed Woodpecker is not extinct, most believe that only a handful could still be living. Office made its first appearance in the early '90s, and was initially a marketing term for a bundled set of applications that were previously marketed and sold separately. The reason for the species' decline was primarily due to loss of habitat and also hunting by collectors. Recent versions of Office are now called the 'Office System' rather than the 'Office Suite' to reflect the fact that they include Servers as well. Its drum is a single or double rap, and its alarm call, a kent or hant, sounds like a toy trumpet repeated in a series or as a double note. As well as the office applications, it includes associated servers and Web-based services. Like all woodpeckers, it has a strong and straight chisel-like bill and a long, mobile, hard-tipped, barbed tongue. Microsoft Office is a suite of productivity programs created by Microsoft and developed for Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh operating systems. These characteristics distinguish it from the darker-billed Pileated Woodpecker. It is almost fully compatible with Microsoft Office files. It has a pure white bill and displays a prominent top crest, red in the male and black in the female. ThinkFree Office, a free web-based alternative office suite. The bird is shiny blue-black with extensive white markings on its neck and on both the upper and lower trailing edges of its wings. Lotus Notes provides the email/PIM portion of the Lotus offering. It measures from 48 to 53 cm (19 to 21 in) in length and 450 to 570 g (1.0 to 1.25 lb) in weight, with short legs and feet ending in large, curved claws. Lotus SmartSuite, provided by IBM contains a word-processing program called Word Pro, spreadsheet program called Lotus 1-2-3, a program similar to Microsoft's PowerPoint, Lotus Freelance Graphics and a database program called Lotus Approach. imperialis) of western Mexico, another rare species which is very likely to be extinct. GNOME Office, a loosely coupled group of open-source applications including Abiword and Gnumeric, which is targetted for the GNOME desktop environment. The Ivory-billed Woodpecker is the second-largest woodpecker in the world, slightly smaller than the closely related Imperial Woodpecker (C. KOffice, an open-source office suite which is part of the KDE Desktop Environment. If its rediscovery is confirmed, this would make the Ivory-billed Woodpecker a lazarus species. Includes Pages, for word-processing, and Keynote, for presentations. However, highly compelling sightings of at least one male bird in Arkansas in 2004 and 2005 were reported in April 2005 (abstract), and audio evidence suggesting the presence of the bird has also been collected. iWork, Apple's Mac-only office suite. It is officially listed as an endangered species, and until recently had widely been considered extinct. Corel's WordPerfect Office.
