Contents.History At a meeting with financial analysts in July 2000, Microsoft demonstrated Office XP, then known by its codename, Office 10, which included a subset of features Microsoft designed in accordance with what at the time was known as the, one by which it intended to provide extensive client access to various and features such as speech recognition. SharePoint Portal Server 2001, then codenamed Tahoe, was also in development at this time and was slated to improve collaboration for users of Office 2000 and Office 10.
In August, Microsoft released Office 10 Beta 1 for product evaluation purposes. During this period Office 10 was characterized as an interim release between its predecessor, Office 2000 and a future version, and was planned to include new formatting options; integrated speech recognition; improved collaboration capabilities and enhanced support for web services; and a complete with. Beta 1 was compatible with Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0 SP5, and Windows 2000.Before the release of Office 10 Beta 2, there was speculation that Microsoft intended to rebrand the new product as 'Office 2001,' 'Office 2002,' 'Office.NET,' or 'Office XP.' The latter was shorthand for eXPerience and was positioned as a brand that would emphasize the new experiences enabled by the product.
At the time, Microsoft intended to name the latest version of as 'Visual Studio.NET' but unnamed sources stated that the company did not desire to do the same with Office 10, as the product was only partially related to the company's.NET strategy. Microsoft ultimately decided on 'Office XP' as the final name of the product and used the same brand for Windows XP—then codenamed Whistler—which was developed concurrently. In spite of this, individual Office XP products such as Excel, PowerPoint, and Word would continue to use Microsoft's year-based naming conventions and were named after the year 2002.Office XP Beta 2 was released to 10,000 technical testers in late 2000. Beta 2 introduced several improvements to setup tools. The Custom Maintenance Wizard, for example, now allowed setup components to be modified after their installation, and the setup process of Office XP itself used a new version of.
Microsoft also terminated the product's support for Windows 95 and Windows NT 4.0 SP5. After the release of Beta 2, Microsoft announced a Corporate Preview Kit Program for Office XP that would allow up to 500,000 corporate customers to evaluate a Corporate Preview Beta version of the product on a total of 10 machines per copy; individual copies cost $19.95 and expired on August 31, 2001.Office XP was released to manufacturing on March 5, 2001 and was later made available to retail on May 31, 2001. Service packs Release dateService Pack 1 (SP1)December 11, 2001Service Pack 2 (SP2)August 21, 2002Service Pack 3 (SP3)March 30, 2004Microsoft released a total of three service packs for Office XP that introduced security enhancements, stability improvements, and fixes for throughout the product's lifecycle. All service packs were made available as separate Client and Full File updates. Client updates were intended for users who installed Office XP from a and could be obtained from the website or as standalone downloads, required the Office XP installation media during the installation process and could not be rolled back after they were installed. Full file updates do not require access to installation media and were intended for network administrators to deploy updates to Office XP users who installed the product from a server location; however, users could also manually install full file updates.
Full file updates require Windows Installer 2.0; Office XP shipped with version 1.1. On September 25, 2001, Microsoft released Windows Installer 2.0 redistributables for, as well as for Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000. Windows Installer 2.0 shipped with Windows XP.Service Pack 1 (SP1) was released on December 11, 2001 and included performance and security improvements, as well as stability improvements based on from users. SP1 also resolved an issue that prevented documents from being saved to MSN Groups.Service Pack 2 (SP2), released on August 21, 2002, included all previously available standalone updates; some of the updates included cumulative security patches for Excel and Word to address potentially malicious code embedded in document. The full file version of SP2 is cumulative—SP1 does not have to be installed—while the client version requires SP1 to be installed. Only full file updates released after SP2 can be applied directly to client installations of Office XP. Earlier updates were designed to update only administrative images and fail when applied directly to clients.Service Pack 3 (SP3) was released on March 30, 2004 and included all previously released updates, as well as previously unreleased stability improvements based on feedback and error reports received from users.
SP3 does not require any earlier service packs to be installed. However, if an Office XP client was updated from a patched administrative image, the full file version of SP3 must be installed. New features User interface Office XP has a streamlined, flatter appearance compared to previous versions of Office.
According to Microsoft, this change involved 'removing visually competing elements, visually prioritizing items on a page, increasing letter spacing and word spacing for better readability, and defining foreground and background color to bring the most important elements to the front.' Smart tags. Main article:Excel 2002 and Word 2002 introduce smart tags, commands for specific types of text including, or in documents. A smart tag is denoted by a dotted purple underline underneath actionable text in a document; hovering over this text with the mouse cursor displays an icon that presents a list of related commands when invoked with a mouse click or the Alt+ ⇧ Shift+ F10.
A ticker symbol smart tag in Excel can present the latest stock information in a cell within a workbook, for example, while a contact name smart tag in a Word document can display options to send an e-mail message to—or schedule a meeting with—that contact. Excel and Word support extensible smart tags that allow developers and organizations to display custom commands related to specific information. The smart tags used by Word are also available in Outlook 2002 if the former is configured as the default e-mail editor.The AutoCorrect and Paste Options commands in previous versions of Office have been updated to include smart tags that are shared among all Office XP programs. The AutoCorrect smart tag provides individual options to revert an automatic correction or to prohibit an automatic correction from occurring in the future, and also provides access to the AutoCorrect Options. It is represented as a small, blue box when the mouse cursor is positioned over corrected text. The Paste Options smart tag provides options to retain original formatting of content, change the formatting based on the currently active program, or to provide contextually specific characteristics to content after users paste it from the clipboard.After the release of Office XP, Microsoft provided a repository for downloadable smart tags on its website. Examples of third-party companies that produced smart tags after the release of Office XP include,.
Microsoft released a Euro Currency Converter smart tag when new on January 1, 2002. Task panes. The Startup task pane in Word 2002.Office XP introduces a task pane interface that consolidates popular menu bar commands on the right side of the screen to facilitate quick access to them. Office XP includes Startup, Search, Clipboard, and Insert Clip Art task panes, as well as task panes that are exclusive to certain programs. Word 2002, for example, includes a task pane dedicated to style and formatting options. Users can switch between open task panes through the use of back and forward buttons; a also presents specific task panes to which users can switch.The default Startup task pane is automatically available when users launch an Office XP program and presents individual commands to open an existing file, create a new blank file or one from a, add a network location, or open Office Help. The Search task pane includes individual Basic and Advanced modes and allows users to query local or remote locations for files.
The Basic mode allows users to perform, while the Advanced mode provides additional file property query options. An such as the can improve how quickly results are returned after a search is performed.The Insert Clip Art task pane is available in Excel, FrontPage, PowerPoint, and Word and provides options to search for and insert online into files. The Office Clipboard has been redesigned as the Clipboard task pane across all Office XP programs and can accommodate up to 24 clipboard items compared to 12 in Office 2000.
Clipboard items provide a visual representation to help users distinguish different types of content. The Office Clipboard task pane opens when at least two items are copied. For handwriting functionalityReception Microsoft Office XP received mixed to positive reviews after its release. Praised the new collaboration and data recovery features, and stated that Office XP offered a 'host of incremental improvements' over its predecessor, Office 2000, but ultimately concluded that 'most enhancements and additions are better suited for groups than individuals.'
Criticism was also directed at the productivity suite's strict hard disk space requirement and its incompatibility with Windows 95. Nevertheless, CNET awarded Office XP a 4-star editors' rating. Rated Office XP 4 stars out of 5 and praised the product's emphasis on user control, particularly in regards to customization options for features introduced in previous versions, and regarded it as 'one of the few Microsoft upgrades that offers almost no pains with its significant gains.' Stated that Office XP 'isn't so much a list of new features as it is an improved arrangement of old ones,' but offered praise for the new collaboration features, which were regarded as a 'huge leap' from previous versions.
Regarded Office XP as 'a must-have upgrade for writers such as myself,' though he also stated that, without the new smart tags feature, it 'has the feel of a minor upgrade with numerous useful, but small, changes.' While most assessments of Office XP were positive, the speech recognition feature was frequently criticized due to its inaccuracy and lack of advanced functionality. CNET regarded it as 'especially lame' because of its inability to recognize text editing commands such as 'select the sentence' and because it required users to manually switch between command and dictation modes. PC Magazine stated that both the speech recognition and handwriting recognition features were not 'reliable enough for general use.' However, in a later assessment, PC Magazine stated that the 'speech recognition is reasonably accurate, but there are very few commands for editing and correcting text' and recommended, or Voice Xpress for dictation. The New York Times speculated that Microsoft had little to no confidence in the feature, as it is not installed by default and no microphone is included with Office XP; however, it concluded that it was 'not bad for a freebie, especially if you would rather get the first draft down quickly and clean up the recognition errors later.'
Paul Thurrott stated that 'the voice recognition is so bad it's almost not even worth discussing,' concluding that it 'is sort of a joke' when compared with mature products such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking. See also.References. News Center. May 31, 2001.
