For the IT junkies, programming with Visual Basic® for Applications and Web scripting with the Microsoft® Script Editor should keep the user tickling the ivories with great satisfaction. Office2000 SBE contains the following applications: Word 2000, Excel 2000, Outlook 2000, Publisher 2000 and the Small Business Tools. Word 2000 stands tall as a word processor. In a technical sense, your writing style may actually improve with the assistance of automation tools, templates and document wizards. Macros can be written and edited for Visual Basic for Applications. Multilingual capabilities are the icing on the cake. Customizable features allow Word 2000 to support editing and displaying documents in over 80 languages. All language versions can detect more than 20 languages and the English version can easily spell and grammar check English, French and Spanish. Office2000 Proofing Tools (an add-on kit sold separately for additional languages) provides for an amazing multilingual environment by incorporating multiple spelling and grammar checkers, in conjunction with the automatic language detector. By doing so, documents can be written in more than one language and edited accordingly. Excel 2000 updates include Euro currency symbol and ISO code standardization. Major advances in HTML file formatting allow Excel files to be published as Web pages by taking advantage of its components (i.e. Spreadsheet, Chart and PivotTable). PivotChart graphically displays data from PivotTable reports. Excel spreadsheets can be e-mailed directly from the program. Importing data is more flexible from other database applications, such as Access 2000, SQL Server and OLAP. Outlook 2000 combines a contact management system with e-mail capabilities. Features include a preview pane, AutoDetect connect, junk e-mail filters and filtered mail merge. For the IT administrators, customizable programming is possible with Visual Basic® for Applications, as well as other component object model add-ins (e.g. C++) to write extensions to Outlook 2000. Trade magazines still rank it behind other notable applications, such as GoldMine or Symantec ACT!, in terms of flexibility and performance. However, for a sole practitioner, Outlook 2000 and its counterpart Outlook Express 5 are easy to use and suitable for your needs. Publisher 2000 is used for creating professional-looking brochures, newsletters and other marketing materials at a fraction of the cost, Publisher 2000 offers improved templates, wizards and color schemes. Publishing can be done from a desktop printer, commercial-printing services or on the Web. New wizards include Quick Publication and Catalog for product catalogs and single-page documents. There are also sixty customizable color schemes with which to work and commercial printing support (i.e.4-color process separations and spot color). Over 2,000 publication templates, 40 design sets, and a vast assortment of clip art, photographic images and animated GIFs accompany Publisher 2000. Small Business Tools; This program is the most underrated and overlooked aspect of Office 2000 because not many IT magazines focus on it. Owner/managers (your clients) will be able to keep track of their customers, locate reference information and create financial reports, such as A/R, A/P and cash flow projections. Accountants and consultants can use these tools as a value-added service, especially with components like Business Planner and Buy vs. Lease Wizards to analyze appropriate financing requirements. There are four Small Business Tools categories, which is a vast augmentation from the Office 97 version. Small Business Customer Manager Combines data retrieved from Outlook and accounting data, this application manages customer and financial information in a single database. With the assistance of database wizards and import utilities from accounting software, there is no need to retype repetitive permanent information. Security measures include password protection, three levels of permission access and user logons. In addition, certain tasks can be automated by creating Office documents with pre-designed templates, mail merging and e-mail/fax messaging. Business Planner; The Business Plan Wizard includes articles, visual interviews and detailed outlines for different sections of the business plan. In conjunction with Word and Excel, an effective presentation can be created and modified depending on the target audience (e.g. a financial loan officer or potential investor). Customizable templates and Web links to various business resources complement the program. This tool is a must for any business. Direct Mail Manager: If your client is heavily involved in high volume sales or wants to market a new product, this tool may come in handy. The Direct Mail Manager can produce direct mailing lists and documents by importing address lists from your system. Printing options can be done in-house, or via links to external third parties that offer these services, some at discounted prices. Notable features include online access to mailing list providers, importing various file formats (e.g. Access, Excel, Word, SQL, Outlook), choice of media type (i.e. envelopes, labels, flyers or postcards) and mail merging. Small Business Financial Manager is similar to the Customer Manager, the Small Business Financial Manager uses Excel to create a financial database originating from data imported from accounting software. Reporting wizards lend a great hand to clients who are not well versed in accounting terminology and concepts. Various financial reports include balance sheet, income statement, trial balance, cash flow, sales analysis and ratios. This tool may seem tame to accountants, yet can be a monumental education for your clients by keeping them informed on their financial status. Other reporting functions include industry classifications, key ratio comparisons and growth estimates, as well as assorted wizards (e.g. projection, what-if analysis, buy vs. lease comparisons and customizable charts and graphs). Consult the Help function to see if your accounting software data can be imported.
