Downloads: Editor's Collection
Six Downloads to Improve Microsoft OfficeAnyone who uses Microsoft Office will agree on two things: It's a powerful collection of applications, and it needs improvement. These six programs bring Office a lot closer to what it should be. Three of them work across multiple Office applications, improving the much-loved--and much-hated--ribbon-based interface. The other three are application-specific, giving Outlook, Word, and Excel additional capabilities that Microsoft either didn't think of or didn't bother with.
