Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Microsoft's Office Word 2003 is stuffed with features for creating and editing documents, from simple letters to books and manuals. Word is a mature product, so as you would expect most things are easy to use and work well. Basic features include on-the-fly spelling and grammar checking, quick table insert, rich formatting and paragraph styles, multiple columns, indexing, and extensive drawing tools and text effects. Macros are well catered for, from simple Record Macro to full programming using Visual Basic for Applications. Track Changes lets you see how a document has been edited by different team members. There are also more exotic features such as auto-summarise, which creates an automatic précis for busy executives, and Translate, which uses an Internet service to provide integrated language translation.

The 2003 version of Word retains the familiar look and feel while adding some interesting features. The excellent Reading View is optimised for onscreen reading, reducing toolbar clutter and using ClearType technology. There is deep XML support in Word, powerful but mainly of interest to developers, making it easier to create and read Word documents programmatically, or to provide document templates that include custom tags. Information Rights Management lets you restrict document access to specified individuals, giving either full or just read-only rights. To use this feature requires a Rights Management Server and possibly a subscription, while recipients need either Word or a Word viewer, so it's not great for users of other word processors. Fortunately document permissions are turned off by default.
Office Word 2003 is good, but not perfect. It is not the best choice for documents hundreds of pages long, and its scheme for numbering paragraphs is over-complex. You can use Word for web editing, but a dedicated web editor is better, while advanced page layout is better done with desktop publishing software. It is for general use that Office Word 2003 shines, superbly combining ease of use with rich features. --Tim Anderson
