Increase Productivity and Save Time with New OfficeReady Features

OfficeReady Professional 3.0 features and benefits include:

• PDF for Office. Central to the strength of Version 3 is the integrated utility that creates compact sized PDF files. PDF (Personal Document Format) was created by Adobe as a standard way to view documents regardless of what software or hardware platform the reader is working with. With OfficeReady 3.0, all Microsoft Office users can now create PDF files for email transmission and web use more easily than with the Adobe distiller and at a small fraction of the cost of the Adobe product.

• Handy Template Browser. With OfficeReady, finding, previewing, and selecting the right template is as easy as clicking your mouse. All of the templates are broken down by application (Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint) and then by operational category (e.g., advertisements, meeting materials, designer stationery, resumes, personal and company finance, sales and marketing and more).

• Automatic Profiles. Type "business card" data -- name, address, telephone numbers, title, then add photo, signature, and company logo -- just once; OfficeReady Professional inserts the text and graphic elements into your templates for you, eliminating the drudgery of repetitive typing. And you can store multiple profiles for business, personal and civic roles or an administrator can keep track of several individuals.

• A natural fit for small and medium size businesses. Small business users want to look every bit as professional as their large company counterparts. To do this, you need the resources of a large company or the From the OfficeReady template browser, users can select from several complete stationery designs that include 14 business elements (envelope, letterhead, label, business forms, business cards)

• Template Packs extend the power of OfficeReady. While the Professional version comes with a wealth of over 500 professionally designed templates (over 300 for Microsoft Word and over 100 each for Excel and PowerPoint), there are over 2,500 additional template designs available through the purchase of low cost add-on template packs. Over 30 template packs are currently available.
• Support for all major operating systems and Office versions. OfficeReady Professional is compatible with all versions of Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003, and Works Suite versions that include Microsoft Word 2000 or higher.
