Microsoft® Office 2010 Set-up

The advanced version of the Microsoft Office 2010 productivity suite opens new doors for you to provide the best business productivity experience across desktops, browsers, and mobile devices. New features have also been incorporated such as a built-in screen capture tool, a background removal tool, a protected document mode, new SmartArt templates and author permissions.

A redesigned Ribbon interface is available in all Microsoft Office applications, including Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft Project, and Microsoft Publisher. Office applications also support Jump Lists feature in Windows 7, which allows you to easily access frequently used programs and tasks relevant to the application.
