Office 2003 Basics

What is Microsoft Office 2003?

Microsoft Office 2003 is a suite—or group—of software programs that are used in home and office settings to accomplish a variety of computing tasks. The programs included in Office 2003 are designed to work together, making typical office tasks faster and easier.

Everyone has different computing needs. For example, a casual home user probably has little use for more sophisticated applications such as Microsoft Access or developer tools. So Microsoft developed different versions of Office 2003.

They include:

• Office Standard Edition 2003 (Word, Excel, Outlook, amd PowerPoint)
• Office Professional Edition 2003
• Office Small Business Edition 2003
• Office Student and Teacher Edition 2003
