Microsoft Student 2006
Microsoft Student 2006 is reviewed by pcmagazine over here.
At the heart of the software is Learning Essentials for Students. This module adds
tutorials, toolbars, and templates (developed in conjunction with major education companies) to Microsoft Office’s Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. A welcome addition would be the ability to customize these templates for each user, as well as a way to save Favorites in one place. Each tutorial is easy to navigate, with extensive guidelines to help students start their essays, research papers, book reports, creative writing projects, science projects, art projects, and oral presentations. For foreign-language assignments, the software provides verb conjugations, spell-check, and translation tools for French, German, Italian, and Spanish. Students also have access to common phrases for most other languages.
