The Things That Make Office 2010 HS Stand Out

There are a number of ways to help students become more productive. Office 2010 Home and Student is a platform that makes no exception to this. The 2010 version of Office Student is a lot easier to use than its previous iterations and contains Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote. Of course, this app is not just beneficial for students, but people who intend to do domestic computing work will also benefit.

Ideally, you would want to interface the app with a PC or laptop that meets the minimum requirements and is connected to the Internet. Firefox, Chrome and Safari are the most ideal browsers these days.

The first most notable feature of Office Student 2010 is your ability to do photo editing from within the document itself. You can crop, adjust brightness, sharpness and contrast and even add some visual effects. This means you need not resort to Paint or Photoshop in order to tweak your images and it makes your work much faster if you are trying to create a paper and beat a deadline.

Second, PowerPoint 2010 gives you the chance to edit motion pictures right then and there. You can make your movies more concise and in the process make them more understandable to all those who will be viewing. You can also embellish your presentations by adding slide transitions and video effects within the media file.

Third, accessing and editing documents is very easy now that there are Office Web Apps. You need not worry about being restrained to a single PC if you are given this excellent feature of mobility in Office 2010.

Being more organized is something you can do with OneNote 2010. You can capture and save your text files, pictures and even audio-visual media. If you are a student, this comes in very handy because note taking will actually help your mind retain what you are studying instead of using just a highlighter pen to underline words. Using underlining is not effective as personally outlining your studies because it puts off something for you to memorize later. You are better off synthesizing the information on your own for easy recall when you need to.

These are just some of the ways by which you can benefit from getting Office 2010 Home and Student. You can stick with Office 2007 if you want to but the bonuses offered in 2010 are definitely worth investing in.
