Dear Colleagues,

Can anyone tell me the major differences between Office Standard &
Office Professional Editions? If possible, please don't give link to
other sites. I visited lots of links for this. But, not satisfied with
any of the sites including Microsoft's link for comparision.

Thanks in advance.

It doesn't get much plainer than the MS site. What about the comparison
don't you understand?

I know you said not to....but:

http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...y/compare.mspx

Seems fairly clear what you get in each version of the site.

What info doesn't satisfy you?

The chart at
http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...y/compare.mspx says
that Standard includes Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook.
Professional includes all that plus Access, Publisher, and the
Business Contact Manager for Outlook. There are lots of hyperlinks on
the page so you can find out exactly what each component will do.

Well, if his problem is anything like mine, I am a problem
reader. I frequently find Microsoft's
"explanations/documentation" verbose and difficult to
understand.

Some of us don't read as well as others, you know?

And, anyway, Microsoft and other vendors have gone to great
pains to make Windows a GUI (Graphic User Interface),
meaning PICTURES, not words.

I for one am glad that I no longer have to remember 25 - 50
DOS commands or UNIX syntax.

The difference is in which specific applications come with it. You say you
don't want a link, but I'm going to give you a link. The table on
http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...y/compare.mspx shows exactly
which applications come with the various editions. Professional has
everything in Standard, plus Access, Publisher, and the Business Contact
Manager Update for Outlook.

I don't know any way to make this any plainer.

I agree that's sometimes the case for the technical explanations which are
written by techs and read by laypeople.

However http://www.microsoft.com/office/edit...y/compare.mspx is
written by marketers and is a pretty chart constructed to be read at a
glance by anyone.
