The following features in Word 2000 make it even easier to create Web, e-mail, and print documents.

Click-n-type. In Page Layout view, you can move the cursor anywhere on a page, double-click, and then start typing. This simplifies complex document layout.

Collect and paste. Gather information from multiple sources and place up to 12 items on the Microsoft Office Clipboard at a time.

Personalized menus. Commands that you use most often are prominently featured on the menus. Menus are easily expanded to reveal all commands.

Tables. Create nested tables (tables within table cells), floating tables (text wraps around a table), arbitrarily positioned tables including side-by-side tables, and integrated header rows (header rows integrated with the outside border).

Thesaurus. Word 2000 has a new thesaurus developed for Microsoft by Bloomsbury Publishing Plc. Right-click a word, point to synonyms, and then you can select a word from the synonyms list.

Foreign language features. New features allow students learning foreign languages, faculty and students collaborating with others around the world, multi-lingual students, and non-native speakers to easily create documents in languages other than English, even documents in more than one language.

Microsoft Office 2000 Multi-Language Pack. You can set the language of the user interface and the Help, without affecting the operation of the program. This allows you to work in the language of your preference.

Microsoft Proofing Tools Kit (with Microsoft Office 2000 Multi-Language Pack). The Microsoft Proofing Tools Kit is part of the Microsoft Office 2000 Multi-Language Pack (see above). The Microsoft Proofing Tools Kit allows you to install tools such as spelling and grammar checker, thesaurus, and AutoCorrect for various languages.

Language AutoDetect. Word 2000 automatically detects the language you are typing in and can intelligently use the correct spelling and grammar checker, AutoCorrect, and other proofing tools.

Multilingual AutoCorrect. Word 2000 now supports multiple AutoCorrect lists, so the automatic correction works for multilingual authors.

Hyphenation. Hyphenation works in many languages. When different languages are detected, hyphenation is done correctly for that language.

WEB DOCUMENTS:

As more schools develop intranets where students and faculty can publish, share, collaborate, and manage their projects, Word 2000 lets people put information in an online format without having to know HTML. The following features make creating Web documents easier than ever:

Save as HTML. All of your formatting (except versioning and passwords) will be preserved when you save documents as HTML files.

Web Page Wizard. Word 2000 provides a wizard for creating professional-looking Web pages and multi-page Web sites.

Browser compatibility. People often create Web pages that are not viewable in older browsers. To make sure others can view your pages, Word 2000 allows you to turn off features that are not supported in older browsers.

Web Page Preview. From Word 2000, you can preview Web pages in the default browser, even without saving the pages first.

Themes. Themes have been created and coordinated between Microsoft Office 2000 Professional and the Microsoft FrontPage 2000 Web site creation and management tool. This makes it easy to create consistent-looking Web pages.

Frames. Frames provide a simple way to make Web sites easier to navigate. Word 2000 provides tools to create and view frames pages as they will appear on the Web.

Tables of contents. Word 2000 can automatically generate tables of contents with several options that work well for online viewing, including the use of frames.

Hyperlinks. In Word 2000 you can easily create, edit, follow, and remove hyperlinks in online and Web documents.
