Word 97 is a solid word processing application that has
taken the best from earlier Word versions and built upon
those features while adding more.

simplifies common word-processing tasks with built-in

cells of varying size and shape using the electronic
pencil and eraser in the Table Drawing Tool. Design

Features:
HTML
Format - You can now save any Word document
to HTML format for posting on to the Internet.
Web
Page Wizard - Give you step-by-step
assistance with content and design to create Web
pages.
Auto Hyperlinks - Creates a live link
to a file or site automatically when you type e-mail
address, URL address, or UNC path.
Online Layout View - Word 97 offers a
new online layout view that is optimized for online
screen reading. What works best for reading physical
printed pages is often different from what is best for
reading online. This new view restricts the column
width to display an average of 66 characters per line.
Research shows that optimal line width for legibility
is approximately 60 to 70 characters per line. The
fixed column width also aids online authoring since it
guarantees a constant line width across various
displays and platforms. Font size is scaled to at
least 12 points to make documents more readable.
Web
Toolbar - Add the web toolbar to Word 97
allowing you access to navigational and searching
tools.
Document Versions - A feature that
allows users to maintain and track a working history
of changes made to a document. You can save versions
of a document manually or by using the "Versions"
command. Word 97 keeps track of each version by the
date and time it was saved so you can compare one
version with another.
Portable Documents - In the past,
when a user opened an existing document on a different
machine, the layout and font of the document could be
different. Word 97 maps the layout to a virtual device
instead of the printer a user is connected to so the
document will always look the same no matter which
machine it is opened on.
Letter Wizard - Structures the layout of your
letter and inserts dates and addresses automatically.
Address Book Integration - Word 97 integrates
seamlessly with Outlook 97 allowing you to store all
contact information into one file and have it
available for use in multiple programs. A drop-down
menu displays the most recently used names and
addresses and will automatically fill in the
information if a user re-selects the name again.
AutoComplete - Start typing in text and Word
97 will automatically complete the word by pressing
the ENTER key replacing the partially typed word with
the completed word.
Enhanced AutoCorrect - Corrects
common multiple-word typographical and grammatical
errors, fixes capitalization mistakes, and creates
handy shortcuts for often-used text and graphics. For
example, type in the initials to your name and have
your full name appear in your document along with your
address, telephone number, etc. This feature saves you
a ton of keystrokes for often entered information.
AutoSummarize - Analyzes a document
statistically and linguistically to determine the most
important sentences and creates an instant summary
based on this analysis. You can specify a percentage
of the original document's length or a certain number
of words be selected for the document summarization.
This also works with e-mail messages when you use Word
as your e-mail editor.
AutoFormat - You can automatically format
documents, headings, lists, bulleted lists, and other
paragraphs. You can also select options to replace
straight quotes with smart quotes, ordinals with
superscript, fractions with the fraction character,
symbol characters, and internet and network paths with
hyperlinks.
Thesaurus - Hotkey (shift + F7) will
automatically bring up the thesaurus to find a word
with a similar meaning.
Grammar Check - Natural language grammar
check proofreads your document for grammatical errors
as you type. It displays possible corrections with a
click of the right mouse button.
Spell It - Spell checking now has enhanced
editing tools. In addition to see the familiar red
underline on words that are misspelled, you can simply
right click on a misspelled word and instantly
possible corrections from the dictionary. The spelling
dictionary now contains additions of personal names of
varying ethnicity, company names, all country names
and names of U.S. cities with a population of 30,000
or more, new words that describe industry and economic
conditions (such as reengineering, downsizing, etc.),
and computer-related terms.
Table Drawing Tool - Enables you to draw
custom tables with an on-screen pencil and eraser to
fit any data, defining the sizes and shapes of
columns, rows, and individual cells.
OfficeArt - Drawing tools that are shared
across all Office 97 applications that offer 3-D
effects, shadows, multicolored fills, textures, and
curves.
Clip
Art - Select from approximately 3,000
clip-art images within Word 97 and access an
additional 2,000 more images at the Microsoft Web
site.
Document Map - Navigate through your document
by dividing your screen into two panes. With your
document to the right create a hyperlinked document
outline on the left. One click on the hyperlink takes
you to the corresponding section in your document.
Comments - Word 97 lets you insert and add
comments to any desired spot within documents without
changing the original text. The comments are there for
your viewing pleasure and assistance. When viewing a
document, you can select whether or not you want the
comments to be visible in the document.
Visual Basic - Provides a common programming
language to build custom solutions with Microsoft's
Excel, PowerPoint, and Access.
Office Assistant - Office Assistant offers a
single way to access information and eliminates the
need to learn multiple Help and utility features.
Similar to the answer wizard, users only need to type
in the question they are wondering about and the
Assistant will find the answer for you and walk you
through the steps necessary to complete the task.
IntelliMouse Integration - Navigate around
your document more easily using Microsoft's
IntelliMouse. You can now scroll your document
automatically.
Ruler Screen Tips - Tips now appear for tab
stops, indent, column, and table adjusters which makes
it easier to manage the layout of a document.
Smart Disabling of Character Formatting - If
you select text and apply formatting, such as bold or
italics by clicking on the Bold or Italics toolbar
button, Word 97 will now automatically turn off the
formatting once you click outside the selected text.
Textbox
Replacements - Textboxes now replace the
frames that were used in older versions. (Note - frame
information is still maintained in Word 97 from older
documents). The advantage to this is that textboxes
are implemented as drawing objects in OfficeArt.
Therefore they have all the capabilities of OfficeArt
allowing shadows, 3-D effects, fills, backgrounds,
rotation, sizing, and cropping.
Blinking Text
- Blinking and other popular text animation can now be
added to your documents to draw attention to specific
ideas.
Text Wrapping
- Word 97 offers greater flexibility in
laying out documents and wrapping text around objects
allowing text to be wrapped around any shape or
picture. The distance from the picture to the text can
be controlled by adjusting the top, bottom, left, and
right text boundaries.
Linked Text
Boxes - Users can now link several textboxes
for a continuous story flow across multiple pages when
creating newsletters where the article will continue
on a different page. When entering text into a linked
textbox the text additions, deletions, etc. will
automatically flow and readjust themselves in each
separate textbox treating multiple text boxes as one
large one.
