Word 2010 когда появился

The first version of Microsoft Word was developed by Charles Simonyi and Richard Brodie, former Xerox programmers hired by Bill Gates and Paul Allen in 1981. Both programmers worked on Xerox Bravo, the first WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) word processor. The first Word version, Word 1.0, was released in October 1983 for Xenix and MS-DOS; it was followed by four very similar versions that were not very successful. The first Windows version was released in 1989, with a slightly improved interface. When Windows 3.0 was released in 1990, Word became a huge commercial success. Word for Windows 1.0 was followed by Word 2.0 in 1991 and Word 6.0 in 1993. Then it was renamed to Word 95 and Word 97, Word 2000 and Word for Office XP (to follow Windows commercial names). With the release of Word 2003, the numbering was again year-based. Since then, Windows versions include Word 2007, Word 2010, Word 2013, Word 2016, and most recently, Word for Office 365.

In 1986, an agreement between Atari and Microsoft brought Word to the Atari ST.^[2] The Atari ST version was a translation of Word 1.05 for the Apple Macintosh; however, it was released under the name Microsoft Write (the name of the word processor included with Windows during the 80s and early 90s).^[3][4] Unlike other versions of Word, the Atari version was a one time release with no future updates or revisions. The release of Microsoft Write was one of two major PC applications that were released for the Atari ST (the other application being WordPerfect). Microsoft Write was released for the Atari ST in 1988.

In 2014 the source code for Word for Windows in the version 1.1a was made available to the Computer History Museum and the public for educational purposes.^[5][6]

Word for DOS[edit]

The first Microsoft Word was released in 1983. It featured graphics video mode and mouse support in a WYSIWYG interface. It could run in text mode or graphics mode but the visual difference between the two was minor. In graphics mode, the document and interface were rendered in a fixed font size monospace character grid with italic, bold and underline features that was not available in text mode. It had support for style sheets in separate files (.STY).

The first version of Word was a 16-bit PC DOS/MS-DOS application. A Macintosh 68000 version named Word 1.0 was released in 1985 and a Microsoft Windows version was released in 1989. The three products shared the same Microsoft Word name, the same version numbers but were very different products built on different code bases. Three product lines co-existed: Word 1.0 to Word 5.1a^[7] for Macintosh, Word 1.0 to Word 2.0 for Windows and Word 1.0 to Word 5.5 for DOS.

Word 1.1 for DOS was released in 1984 and added the Print Merge support, equivalent to the Mail Merge feature in newer Word systems.

Word 2.0 for DOS was released in 1985 and featured Extended Graphics Adapter (EGA) support.

Word 3.0 for DOS was released in 1986.

Word 4.0 for DOS was released in 1987 and added support for revision marks (equivalent to the Track Changes feature in more recent Word versions), search/replace by style and macros stored as key stroke sequences.^[8]

Word 5.0 for DOS, released in 1989, added support for bookmarks, cross-references and conditions and loops in macros, remaining backwards compatible with Word 3.0 macros. The macro language differed from the WinWord 1.0 WordBasic macro language.

Word 5.5 for DOS, released in 1990, significantly changed the user interface, with popup menus and dialog boxes. Even in graphics mode, these Graphical User Interface (GUI) elements got the monospace ASCII art look and feel found in text mode programs like Microsoft QuickBasic.

Word 6.0 for DOS, the last Word for DOS version, was released in 1993, at the same time as Word 6.0 for Windows (16-bit) and Word 6.0 for Macintosh. Although Macintosh and Windows versions shared the same code base, the Word for DOS was different. The Word 6.0 for DOS macro language was compatible with the Word 3.x-5.x macro language while Word 6.0 for Windows and Word 6.0 for Macintosh inherited WordBasic from the Word 1.0/2.0 for Windows code base. The DOS and Windows versions of Word 6.0 had different file formats.

Word for Windows 1989 to 1995[edit]

The first version of Word for Windows was released in November 1989 at a price of USD $498, but was not very popular as Windows users still comprised a minority of the market.^[9] The next year, Windows 3.0 debuted, followed shortly afterwards by WinWord 1.1 which was updated for the new OS. The failure of WordPerfect to produce a Windows version proved a fatal mistake. The following year, in 1991, WinWord 2.0 was released which had further improvements and finally solidified Word’s marketplace dominance. WinWord 6.0 came out in 1993 and was designed for the newly released Windows 3.1.^[10]

The early versions of Word also included copy protection mechanisms that tried to detect debuggers, and if one was found, it produced the message «The tree of evil bears bitter fruit. Only the Shadow knows. Now trashing program disk.» and performed a zero seek on the floppy disk (but did not delete its contents).^[11][12][13]

After MacWrite, Word for Macintosh never had any serious rivals, although programs such as Nisus Writer provided features such as non-continuous selection, which were not added until Word 2002 in Office XP.
Word 5.1 for the Macintosh, released in 1992, was a very popular word processor, owing to its elegance, relative ease of use and feature set. However, version 6.0 for the Macintosh, released in 1994, was widely derided, unlike the Windows version. It was the first version of Word based on a common code base between the Windows and Mac versions; many accused the Mac version of being slow, clumsy and memory intensive.

With the release of Word 6.0 in 1993 Microsoft again attempted to synchronize the version numbers and coordinate product naming across platforms; this time across the three versions for DOS, Macintosh, and Windows (where the previous version was Word for Windows 2.0). There may have also been thought given to matching the current version 6.0 of WordPerfect for DOS and Windows, Word’s major competitor. However, this wound up being the last version of Word for DOS. In addition, subsequent versions of Word were no longer referred to by version number, and were instead named after the year of their release (e.g. Word 95 for Windows, synchronizing its name with Windows 95, and Word 98 for Macintosh), once again breaking the synchronization.

When Microsoft became aware of the Year 2000 problem, it released the entire DOS port of Microsoft Word 5.5 instead of getting people to pay for the update. As of August 2022, it is still available for download from Microsoft’s web site.^[14]

Word 6.0 was the second attempt to develop a common code base version of Word. The first, code-named Pyramid, had been an attempt to completely rewrite the existing product. It was abandoned when Chris Peters replaced Jeff Raikes at the lead developer of the Word project^[15] and determined it would take the development team too long to rewrite and then catch up with all the new capabilities that could have been added in the same time without a rewrite. Therefore, Word 6.0 for Windows and Macintosh were both derived from Word 2.0 for Windows code base. The Word 3.0 to 5.0 for Windows version numbers were skipped (outside of DBCS locales) in order to keep the version numbers consistent between Macintosh and Windows versions. Supporters of Pyramid claimed that it would have been faster, smaller, and more stable than the product that was eventually released for Macintosh, and which was compiled using a beta version of Visual C++ 2.0 that targets the Macintosh, so many optimizations have to be turned off (the version 4.2.1 of Office is compiled using the final version), and sometimes use the Windows API simulation library included.^[16] Pyramid would have been truly cross-platform, with machine-independent application code and a small mediation layer between the application and the operating system.

More recent versions of Word for Macintosh are no longer ported versions of Word for Windows.

Later versions of Word have more capabilities than merely word processing. The drawing tool allows simple desktop publishing operations, such as adding graphics to documents.

Microsoft Office[edit]

Word 95[edit]

Word 95 was released as part of Office 95 and was numbered 7.0, consistently with all Office components. It ran exclusively on the Win32 platform, but otherwise had few new features. The file format did not change.

Word 97[edit]

Word 97 had the same general operating performance as later versions such as Word 2000. This was the first copy of Word featuring the Office Assistant, «Clippit», which was an animated helper used in all Office programs. This was a takeover from the earlier launched concept in Microsoft Bob. Word 97 introduced the macro programming language Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) which remains in use in Word 2016.

Word 98[edit]

Word 98 for the Macintosh gained many features of Word 97, and was bundled with the Macintosh Office 98 package. Document compatibility reached parity with Office 97 and Word on the Mac became a viable business alternative to its Windows counterpart. Unfortunately, Word on the Mac in this and later releases also became vulnerable to future macro viruses that could compromise Word (and Excel) documents, leading to the only situation where viruses could be cross-platform. A Windows version of this was only bundled with the Japanese/Korean Microsoft Office 97 Powered By Word 98 and could not be purchased separately. It was then released in the same period as well.

Word 2000[edit]

Word 2001/Word X[edit]

Word 2001 was bundled with the Macintosh Office for that platform, acquiring most, if not all, of the feature set of Word 2000. Released in October 2000, Word 2001 was also sold as an individual product. The Macintosh version, Word X, released in 2001, was the first version to run natively on (and required) Mac OS X.

Word 2002/XP[edit]

Word 2002 was bundled with Office XP and was released in 2001. It had many of the same features as Word 2000, but had a major new feature called the ‘Task Panes’, which gave quicker information and control to a lot of features that were before only available in modal dialog boxes. One of the key advertising strategies for the software was the removal of the Office Assistant in favor of a new help system, although it was simply disabled by default.

Word 2003[edit]

Microsoft Office 2003 is an office suite developed and distributed by Microsoft for its Windows operating system. Office 2003 was released to manufacturing on August 19, 2003, and was later released to retail on October 21, 2003. It was the successor to Office XP and the predecessor to Office 2007.

Word 2004[edit]

A new Macintosh version of Office was released in May 2004. Substantial cleanup of the various applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and feature parity with Office 2003 (for Microsoft Windows) created a very usable release. Microsoft released patches through the years to eliminate most known macro vulnerabilities from this version. While Apple released Pages and the open source community created NeoOffice, Word remains the most widely used word processor on the Macintosh. Office 2004 for Mac is a version of Microsoft Office developed for Mac OS X. It is equivalent to Office 2003 for Windows. The software was originally written for PowerPC Macs, so Macs with Intel CPUs must run the program under Mac OS X’s Rosetta emulation layer.
Also: Stable release: v11.6.6 / December 13, 2011; 7 years ago

Word 2007[edit]

The release includes numerous changes, including a new XML-based file format, a redesigned interface, an integrated equation editor and bibliographic management. Additionally, an XML data bag was introduced, accessible via the object model and file format, called Custom XML – this can be used in conjunction with a new feature called Content Controls to implement structured documents. It also has contextual tabs, which are functionality specific only to the object with focus, and many other features like Live Preview (which enables you to view the document without making any permanent changes), Mini Toolbar, Super-tooltips, Quick Access toolbar, SmartArt, etc.

Word 2007 uses a new file format called docx. Word 2000–2003 users on Windows systems can install a free add-on called the «Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack» to be able to open, edit, and save the new Word 2007 files.^[17] Alternatively, Word 2007 can save to the old doc format of Word 97–2003.^[18][19]

Word 2008[edit]

Word 2008 was released on January 15, 2008. It includes some new features from Word 2007, such as a ribbon-like feature that can be used to select page layouts and insert custom diagrams and images. Word 2008 also features native support for the new Office Open XML format, although the old doc format can be set as a default.^[20]
Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac is a version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for Mac OS X. It supersedes Office 2004 for Mac and is the Mac OS X equivalent of Office 2007. Office 2008 was developed by Microsoft’s Macintosh Business Unit and released on January 15, 2008.

Word 2010[edit]

Microsoft Office 2010 is a version of the Microsoft Office productivity suite for Microsoft Windows. Office 2010 was released to manufacturing on April 15, 2010, and was later made available for retail and online purchase on June 15, 2010. It is the successor to Office 2007 and the predecessor to Office 2013.

Word 2011[edit]

Word 2013[edit]

The release of Word 2013 has brought Word a cleaner look and this version focuses further on Cloud Computing with documents being saved automatically to OneDrive (previously Skydrive). If enabled, documents and settings roam with the user. Other notable features are a new read mode which allows for horizontal scrolling of pages in columns, a bookmark to find where the user left off reading their document and opening PDF documents in Word just like Word content. The version released for the Windows 8 operating system is modified for use with a touchscreen and on tablets. It is the first version of Word to not run on Windows XP or Windows Vista.^[21]

Word 2016[edit]

On July 9, 2015, Microsoft Word 2016 was released. Features include the tell me, share and faster shape formatting options. Other useful features include realtime collaboration, which allows users to store documents on Share Point or OneDrive, as well as an improved version history and a smart lookup tool. As usual, several editions of the program were released, including one for home and one for business.

Word 2019[edit]

Word 2019 added support for Scalable Vector Graphics, Microsoft Translator, and LaTeX, as well as expanded drawing functionality.^[22]

Word included with Office 365[edit]

Microsoft Office 365 is a free/paid subscription plan for the classic Office applications.

В прошлой статье я рассказал Вам об интерфейсе и основных функция MS Word 2019. В этой, как Вы уже поняли по названию, будет рассказываться от начала создания и до последних изменений в наши дни. И так давайте начнем с определения:

Microsoft Word – текстовый процессор, предназначенный для создания, просмотра и редактирования текстовых документов, с локальным применением простейших форм таблично-матричных алгоритмов. Выпускается корпорацией Microsoft в составе пакета Microsoft Office.

Теперь узнав, что из себя представляет MS Word и кем он выпускается мы перейдем к истории.

Кто создатель знаменитого текстового процессора?

Ответ на этот вопрос мало кто знает, но все же первая версия Microsoft Word была написана Ричардом Броди для первого персонального компьютера IBM PC, использующий операционную систему DOS, в 1983 году. Сегодня Ричард является известным человеком. Он пишет интересные книги и профессионально играет в покер.

Первый текстовый процессор WYSIWYG: Xerox Bravo

Первый текстовый процессор WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get — «что видишь, то и получаешь») под названием Bravo появился задолго до того, как мир узнал о существовании Word.

В 1974 году в исследовательском центре корпорации Xerox в Пало-Альто Чарльз Симони и Батлер Лэмпсон разработали революционную программу для замечательного компьютера Xerox Alto, в котором впервые присутствовали мышь и графический пользовательский интерфейс (Graphical User Interface, GUI).

Приход Microsoft и Xenix

Получив в 1981 году приглашение от Билла Гейтса, разработчик Xerox Bravo Чарльз Симони присоединился к Microsoft. И вот как-то раз, обсуждая перспективы дальнейшего развития, Гейтс, Пол Аллен и Симони решили написать программы для электронных таблиц, текстового процессора и системы управления базами данных.

Вскоре после этого Симони пригласил еще одного бывшего сотрудника Xerox Ричарда Броди и приступил к разработке Multi-Tool Word. Решение большей части задач, связанных с программированием, легло именно на плечи Броди. Спустя некоторое время вышла первая версия Unix-подобной операционной системы Microsoft Xenix, ныне уже прекратившей свое существование. Вот так на свет появился Microsoft Word.

Первые дни DOS

Версии Word 1.0 для Xenix и MS-DOS были выпущены в октябре 1983 года. Операционные системы DOS в версиях от 1.0 до 5.0 по своему внешнему экранному представлению практически не отличались друг от друга. Первые варианты Word имели в какой-то степени противоречивый интерфейс (одни и те же клавиши выполняли разные функции в разных режимах или подменю), что объяснялось унаследованной от Bravo идеологией.

В этом смысле приложение Microsoft недалеко ушло от запутанных комбинаций функциональных клавиш своего конкурента WordPerfect (сегодня данный продукт поддерживается компанией Corel), однако вскоре на горизонте замаячил гораздо более совершенный интерфейс. Правда, для его реализации понадобился другой компьютер.

Тем временем на платформе Macintosh

В 1985 году Джеффри Харберс по настоянию Билла Гейтса возглавил команду разработчиков, которым было поручено перенести Word на недавно появившуюся на рынке платформу Apple Macintosh. Среди новых функций приложения следует отметить возможность отображения на экране шрифтов разного типа, плотности и размеров. Для Word все это было в новинку.

Добро пожаловать в Windows

Между тем, позиции Microsoft Windows устойчиво укреплялись. А потому после того успеха, который сопутствовал Microsoft на платформе Macintosh, компания выпустила версию Word и для собственной графической среды.

Версия Word 1.0 for Windows, появившаяся в 1989 году и продававшаяся за 500 долларов, унаследовала от Macintosh интерфейс, управляемый мышью, выпадающие меню и полноценную реализацию WYSIWYG.

Еще одна операционная система

В 1992 году корпорация Microsoft выпустила версию Word для операционной системы IBM OS/2, которая была почти идентична варианту для Microsoft Windows.

Любопытно, что Microsoft поддерживала также и версии Word для операционной системы SCO Unix (Xenix), которые по своим функциональным возможностям примерно соответствовали версиям для MS-DOS с аналогичными номерами.

Смена нумерации

Вслед за выпуском Microsoft Word 1.0, естественно, последовала версия Word 2.0. А вот потом произошло нечто странное. Компания WordPerfect представила весьма успешную версию своего приложения WordPerfect 6.0, бывшего в то время главным конкурентом Microsoft Word. Не желая отставать от соперников, в Microsoft решили уравнять их номера для Windows, MS-DOS и Macintosh, и в 1993 году была выпущена Word for Windows 6.0.

А чуть позже корпорация Microsoft решила совсем выйти из игры, связанной с манипулированием номерами: в очередном варианте Word для Windows вместо номера версии, был указан год. Таким образом, вслед за операционной системой Windows 95 на рынке появилось приложение Word 95.

Рождение Скрепки

В версии Word 97 появилась функция, которая сильнее всего досаждала пользователям — The Office Assistant. Помощника, который появлялся по умолчанию, звали Clippit. Он представлял собой говорящую и танцующую бумажную скрепку со слегка косящимися глазами, которая следила за достигнутыми вами успехами и советовала, что и как следует делать.

Прощай, Скрепка

В версии Word 2002 разработчики Microsoft решили использовать всеобщую неприязнь к Скрепке в маркетинговых целях. В рекламе утверждалось, что простота использования Word 2002 сделала Скрепку устаревшей.

Вместо Скрепки Microsoft представила панель задач (специальные меню, заполнявшие правую часть экрана), которая была призвана помогать пользователям гораздо менее навязчивым и раздражающим способом.

Word 2007

Начиная с этого выпуска приложение Word включает кроме стандартных опций для форматирования текстов еще и специальные средства, рассчитанные для людей с нарушениями зрения, подвижности. Это делает его доступным для широкого круга пользователей.

Разработчики редактора немало уделили времени безопасности, ведь сейчас огромное количество файлов из сети Интернет могут заключать в себе вирусы, черви, трояны и другие программы с вредоносным кодом. Чтобы избежать проблем, потенциально небезопасные файлы открываются в специальном режиме под названием – защищенный режим.

Word 2010

В версии Word 2010 функция защиты документов стала более совершенной. Теперь пользователь с помощью нескольких нажатий клавиш может быстро установить пароль на свой документ. Никто кроме обладателя пароля не сможет его открыть, как-бы не старался. Разработчики Microsoft Word 2010 добавили множество новых функций, которые найдут множество своих поклонников. Расскажу лишь о нескольких из них.

Теперь каждый готовый файл с помощью специальных возможностей будет обладать всеми присущими ему качествами профессионального вида. Данная версия теперь обеспечивает простой доступ к документу через браузер мобильного телефона, смартфона или планшета. Работа с таблицами, наборами стилей и колонтитулами теперь стала еще интереснее и привлекательнее благодаря новейшим эффектам и более удобной навигации.

Word 2013

Word 2013 содержит новые форматы нумерации с фиксированным числом знаков, как пример – 001, 002, 003 или 0001, 0002 и 0003. Также в программе улучшен параметр добавления заголовка к таблице, это позволяет предоставить читателям документа более полные сведения. В новой версии графика SmartArt стала богаче.

Word 2016

По заявлениям Microsoft, новая версия создана «с нуля», и ее производительность по сравнению с предыдущими версиями должна возрасти. При этом ключевые изменения затронули интерфейс, внедрена более тесная интеграция с Интернетом.

Настоящее время

Microsoft Word является наиболее популярным из используемых в данный момент текстовых процессоров. Он пережил много изменений в плане функциональности и интерфейса, расширил свои возможности и на сегодняшний день Microsoft Word 2019 самая последняя версия продукта, которая была выпущена 12 июня 2018 года для macOS. 27 апреля 2018 года вышла для корпоративных пользователей.

От версии 2016 она практически ничем не отличается, кроме как дополнительно новых функций, о которых Вы узнаете в новой статье.

Microsoft Office 2010 (codenamed Office 14^[6]) is a version of Microsoft Office for Microsoft Windows unveiled by Microsoft on May 15, 2009, and released to manufacturing on April 15, 2010,^[1] with general availability on June 15, 2010,^[7] as the successor to Office 2007 and the predecessor to Office 2013. The macOS equivalent, Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac was released on October 26, 2010.

Office 2010 introduces user interface enhancements including a Backstage view that consolidates document management tasks into a single location. The ribbon introduced in Office 2007 for Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word is the primary user interface for all applications in Office 2010 and is now customizable.^[8][9][10] Collaborative editing features that enable multiple users to share and edit documents; extended file format support;^[6] integration with OneDrive and SharePoint;^[11] and security improvements such as Protected View, a sandbox to protect users from malicious content^[12] are among its other new features. It debuted Office Online, free Web-based versions of Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word.^[13][14][15] A new Office Starter 2010 edition replaces Microsoft Works.^[16][17][18] Office Mobile 2010, an update to Microsoft’s mobile productivity suite was released on May 12, 2010 as a free upgrade from the Windows Phone Store for Windows Mobile 6.5 devices with a previous version of Office Mobile installed.^[19][20][21]

Office 2010 is the first version of Office to ship in a 64-bit version.^[22][23] It is also the first version to require volume license product activation.^[24][25] Office 2010 is compatible with Windows XP SP3 32-bit, Windows Server 2003 SP2 32-bit through Windows 10 and Windows Server 2016.^[26][27] It is the last version of Microsoft Office to support Windows XP SP3 32-bit, Windows Server 2003 SP2 32-bit, Windows Vista SP1 or later, and Windows Server 2008 as the following version, Microsoft Office 2013 only supports Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 or later.^{[28][29][30][31]}

Reviews of Office 2010 were generally very positive, with praise to the new Backstage view, new customization options for the ribbon, and the incorporation of the ribbon into all programs.^[32][33] Sales, however, initially were lower than those of its predecessor.^[34] Despite this, Office 2010 was a success for Microsoft, surpassing the company’s previous records for adoption,^[35] deployment,^[35] and revenue for Office.^[36] As of December 31, 2011, approximately 200 million licenses of Office 2010 were sold,^[37] before its discontinuation on January 31, 2013.^[38]

Mainstream support for Office 2010 ended on October 13, 2015, and extended support ended on October 13, 2020, the same dates that mainstream and extended support ended for Windows Embedded Standard 7.^[39] Office 2010 is the last version of Office that can be activated without enrolling in a Microsoft account; enrollment for activation is required starting with Office 2013.^[40] On June 9, 2018, Microsoft announced that its forums would no longer include Office 2010 or other products in extended support among its products for discussions involving support.^[41] On August 27, 2021, Microsoft announced that Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2007 would be cut off from connecting to Microsoft 365 Exchange servers on November 1, 2021.^[42]

History and development[edit]

Development started in 2007 while Microsoft was finishing work on Office 12, released as Microsoft Office 2007. The version number 13 was skipped because of the fear of the number 13.^[43] It was previously thought that Office 2010 (then called Office 14) would ship in the first half of 2009.^[44]

On April 15, 2009, Microsoft confirmed that Office 2010 would be released in the first half of 2010. They announced on May 12, 2009, at a Tech Ed event, a trial version of the 64-bit edition.^[45][46] The Technical Preview 1 (Version: 14.0.4006.1010) was leaked on May 15, 2009.^[47]

An internal post-beta build was leaked on July 12, 2009. This was newer than the official preview build and included a «Limestone» internal test application (note: the EULA indicates Beta 2).^[48] On July 13, 2009, Microsoft announced Office 2010 at its Worldwide Partner Conference 2009.

On July 14, 2009, Microsoft started to send out invitations on Microsoft Connect to test an official preview build of Office 2010.^[49] On August 30, 2009, the beta build 4417 was leaked on the internet via torrents.^[50]

The public beta was available to subscribers of TechNet, MSDN and Microsoft Connect users on November 16, 2009.^[51] On November 18, 2009, the beta was officially released to the general public at the Microsoft Office Beta website, which was originally launched by Microsoft on November 11, 2009 to provide screenshots of the new office suite.^[52] Office 2010 Beta was a free, fully functional version and expired on October 31, 2010.^[53]

In an effort to help customers and partners with deployment of Office 2010, Microsoft launched an Office 2010 application compatibility program with tools and guidance available for download.^[54] On February 5, 2010, the official release candidate build 4734.1000 was available to Connect and MSDN testers. It was leaked to torrent sites.^[55] A few days after, the RTM Escrow build was leaked.

Microsoft announced the RTM on April 15, 2010, and that the final version was to have speech technologies for use with text to speech in Microsoft OneNote, Microsoft PowerPoint, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft Word. Office 2010 was to be originally released to business customers on May 12, 2010,^[56] however it was made available to Business customers with Software Assurance on April 27, 2010, and to other Volume Licensing Customers on May 1.^[57] MSDN and TechNet subscribers have been able to download the RTM version since April 22, 2010. The RTM version number is 14.0.4763.1000.^[58][59] Office 2010 was launched for general customer availability on June 15, 2010.^[7][60]

Service packs[edit]

Service pack	Version number	Release date
Service Pack 1 (SP1)	14.0.6029.1000[61]	November 17, 2010[62]
Service Pack 2 (SP2)	14.0.7015.1000[61]	April 8, 2013[63]

Microsoft released two service packs for Office 2010 that were primarily intended to address software bugs. Service Pack 1 (SP1) and Service Pack 2 (SP2) were released concurrently with updates for additional products including Office Online, SharePoint, and SharePoint Designer.^[62][63]

On November 17, 2010, Microsoft invited a select number of testers at the Microsoft Connect Web portal to test SP1 Beta 1.^[64][65] SP1 was released by Microsoft on June 27, 2011, and included compatibility, performance, security, and stability improvements. SP1 is a cumulative update that includes all previous updates, as well as fixes exclusive to its release;^[62][66] a list of exclusive fixes was released by Microsoft.^[67] SP1 also introduced additional features for Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. As examples, OneNote 2010 SP1 introduced the ability to open notebooks stored in OneDrive directly from within the app itself, while Outlook 2010 SP1 introduced Microsoft 365 support.^[66] With the release of SP1, the use of Office Online in Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 9 was officially supported by Microsoft for the first time.^[68]

On April 8, 2013, a beta build of Office 2010 SP2 was released.^[69] SP2 was a cumulative update officially released on July 16, 2013, and included all of the previously released compatibility, performance, stability, and security fixes, as well as numerous exclusive fixes;^[63] a list of fixes exclusive to SP2 was released by Microsoft.^[70] Microsoft claimed that with the release of SP2, Office 2010 would feature improved compatibility with Internet Explorer 10, Office 2013, SharePoint 2013, and Windows 8.^[63][71] Because SP2 is cumulative, SP1 is not a prerequisite for its installation.^[72]

New features[edit]

User interface[edit]

In both its client programs and in its Internet implementation, the design of Office 2010 incorporates features from SharePoint and borrows from Web 2.0 ideas.^[73][74][75] Office 2010 is more «role-based» than previous versions of Microsoft Office, with specific features tailored to employees in «roles such as research and development professionals, sales people, and human resources.»^[75]

Backstage view[edit]

A new Backstage view interface replaces the Office menu introduced in Office 2007 and is designed to facilitate access to document management and sharing tasks by consolidating them within a single location.^[76] In theatre, backstage refers to the area behind the stage where behind the scenes activities and preparations commence; the Backstage view is accordingly an interface dedicated to activities and preparations before saving or sharing a document.^[77] Backstage consists of both a left-hand navigation pane and an adjacent main pane; the navigation pane includes a series of vertically arranged common commands to open or save files, and tabs that, when opened, expose document management tasks and contextual information within the main pane.^[76][78] A customizable number of recently opened documents can also be displayed within the navigation pane.^[79]

Tasks that are accessed via tabs in the main Backstage pane are categorized into separate groups that display contextual information related to app configurations, files, and tasks; each tab displays information relevant to that specific tab. On the Info tab in Word, for example, document metadata details are displayed within the Prepare for Sharing group to inform users of potentially personal information before the file is shared with other users,^[80] whereas the Help tab displays Office 2010 version information and product licensing status.^[81] In Office 2007, this information was included within separate locations.^[80][81] From the Info tab, users can access revisions of currently open Excel, PowerPoint, and Word documents, as well as the latest unsaved version of a document that was previously closed.^[82] Within the Print tab, Backstage also combines the previously separate print and print preview features by displaying printer tasks, settings, and a zooming user interface to preview the currently open document without the user having to open a dialog box.^[83]

Backstage is extensible; developers can add their own commands, tabs, tasks, or related information.^[84][85][86]

File tab[edit]

The File tab replaces the Office button introduced in Office 2007 and offers similar functionality. The previous Office button—a round button adorned with the Microsoft Office 2007 logo—had a different appearance from the ribbon tabs in the Office 2007 interface and was positioned away from them, with a target that extended toward the upper left corner of the screen in accordance with Fitts’s law.^[79][87] Microsoft stated this button enhanced the usability of Office, but many users saw it as «branding decoration, rather than a functional button.» As a result, in Office 2010 it was replaced with a File tab that appears next to the other tabs in the ribbon instead of the upper left-hand corner of the screen.^[79] The File tab is colored on a per-app basis (e.g., it is colored orange in Outlook). Opening the File tab displays the new Backstage view.^[88]

Pasting options gallery[edit]

Office 2010 introduces a pasting options gallery on the ribbon, in the context menu, and in the object-oriented user interface that replaces the Paste Special dialog box and Paste Recovery feature seen in previous versions of Office. The gallery introduces Live Preview effects to the paste process when users position the mouse cursor over an option in the gallery so that the result of the process can be previewed before it is applied to the document; a tooltip with an associated description and keyboard shortcut for that option will also appear. If users position the mouse cursor over a gallery option in the context menu, the rest of the context menu becomes transparent so that it does not obstruct preview results within the document. To facilitate keyboard-based paste operations, users can navigate the gallery by using the arrow keys on a keyboard or press Ctrl after pressing Ctrl+V to display gallery options. Gallery options change based on the content in the clipboard and the app into which the content is pasted.^[89]

Ribbon improvements[edit]

The ribbon introduced in Office 2007 is fully customizable and included in all programs in Office 2010.^[8][9] Users can add or rename custom ribbon tabs or groups, add additional commands to the default tabs, and hide tabs that are not used. Users can also export or import any customization changes made to the ribbon to facilitate backups, deployment, or sharing, or reset all ribbon customizations.^[90] The ribbon was also updated with a visible interface option to minimize it, which leaves only the tabs exposed.^[91]

After the launch of Office 2010, Microsoft provided free downloads for a new Favorites tab that consolidated commands based on customer feedback regarding the most frequently used commands in all Office programs.^[92]

Other UI changes[edit]

• The default color scheme in Office 2010 is silver instead of blue as in Office 2007 and now features a 5:1 contrast ratio to improve accessibility and readability.^[88]
• All app icons have been redesigned in Office 2010. The new icons are based on colors that correspond to their respective programs, as per previous releases, with an increased emphasis on app letters.^[88]
• The Office 2010 splash screen has been redesigned from the one seen in Office 2007 and animates when an app is launched.^[88]
• OneNote and PowerPoint support mathematical equations through an Equation Tools contextual tab on the ribbon.^[93][94]
• PowerPoint and Publisher include alignment guides so users can align objects to a grid.^[94][95]
• Smart tags introduced in Office XP have been renamed as Actions and are now accessible from the context menu.^[96]

File formats[edit]

Office 2010 includes updated support for ISO/IEC 29500:2008, the International Standard version of Office Open XML (OOXML) file format.^[6] Office 2010 provides read support for ECMA-376, read/write support for ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional, and read support for ISO/IEC 29500 Strict.^[97] In its pre-release form, however, Office 2010 only supported the Transitional variant, and not the Strict.^[98]

Office 2010 also continued support for OpenDocument Format (ODF) 1.1, which is a joint OASIS/ISO/IEC standard (ISO/IEC 26300:2006/Amd 1:2012 — Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) v1.1).^[6]

Document co-authoring[edit]

Office 2010 introduces co-authoring functionality in the Excel Web App, the OneNote Web App, and in the client versions of OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word for documents stored on SharePoint 2010 sites and for shared documents in OneDrive^[11] and Microsoft 365.^[99] A co-authoring session is automatically initiated when two or more users open the same document. From Backstage within Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word, users can also save documents directly to remote locations to facilitate remote access and co-authoring sessions. In the Excel Web App, the OneNote, and the OneNote Web App edits to a shared document in a co-authoring session occur on a sequential basis, in near real-time, as shared documents save automatically with each edit. In PowerPoint and Word, however, users must upload changes to the server by manually saving the shared document.^[11]

During a co-authoring session the Excel Web App, PowerPoint, and Word denote how many co-authors are editing a document through a status bar icon that, when clicked in PowerPoint and Word, displays contact information including the presence of co-authors; the Info tab of Backstage also displays these details. When users open the name of a co-author, they can send email with an email client or start instant messaging conversations with each other if a supported app such as Skype for Business is installed on each machine. If a conflict between multiple changes occurs in PowerPoint or Word, sharers can approve or reject changes before uploading them to the server.^[11]

In both OneNote and the OneNote Web App, users can view the names of co-authors alongside their respective edits to the content in a shared notebook, or create separate versions of pages for individual use. Edits made since a notebook was last opened are automatically highlighted, with initials of the co-author who made the edit displayed. In OneNote, co-authors can also search for all edits made by a specific co-author. OneNote 2010 notebooks can be shared with Office Mobile 2010 users on Windows Phone 7.^[11] OneNote 2007 users can also participate in a co-authoring session with OneNote 2010 users if shared notebooks use the older OneNote 2007 file format; however, co-author search, and page versioning, and compatibility with the OneNote Web App will not be available.^[100]

Installation and deployment[edit]

Office 2010 introduces a new Click-to-Run installation process based on Microsoft App-V Version 4 streaming and virtualization technology as an alternative to the traditional Windows Installer-based installation process for the Home and Student and Home and Business editions, and as a mandatory installation process for the Starter edition. Click-to-Run products install in a virtualized environment (a Q: partition) that downloads product features in the background after the programs have been installed so that users can immediately begin using the programs. The download process is optimized for broadband connections.^[101]

During the Office 2010 retail lifecycle Microsoft, in collaboration with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and retail partners, introduced a Product Key Card licensing program that allowed users to purchase a single license to activate Home and Student, Home and Business, and Professional editions preinstalled on personal computers at a reduced cost when compared with traditional retail media.^[102] Product Key Card versions are restricted to a single machine.^[103]

Volume license versions of Office 2010 require product activation. Office 2007’s product activation was only required for OEM or retail versions of the product.^[24]

Security[edit]

Office File Validation[edit]

Office File Validation, previously included only in Publisher 2007 for PUB files has been incorporated into Excel, PowerPoint, and Word in Office 2010 to validate the integrity of proprietary binary file formats (e.g., DOC, PPT, and XLS) introduced in previous versions of Microsoft Office. When users open a document, the structure of its file format is scanned to ensure that it conforms with specifications defined by XML schema; if a file fails the validation process it will, by default, be opened in Protected View, a new read-only, isolated sandbox environment to protect users from potentially malicious content.^[104] this design allows users to visually assess potentially unsafe documents that fail validation.^[105] Microsoft stated that it is possible for documents to fail validation as a false positive. To improve Office File Validation, Office 2010 collects various information about files that have failed validation and also creates copies of these files for optional submission to Microsoft through Windows Error Reporting.^[104] Users are prompted approximately every two weeks from the date of a failed validation attempt to submit copies of files or of other information for analysis; prompts include a list of files that will be submitted to Microsoft and require explicit user consent prior to submission. Administrators can disable data submission.^[106]

On December 14, 2010, Microsoft announced it would backport Office File Validation to Office 2003 and Office 2007.^[107][108] On April 12, 2011, it was backported as an add-in for Office 2003 SP3 and Office 2007 SP2, and on June 28, 2011, was made available through Microsoft Update.^[109] Office File Validation in Office 2003 and Office 2007 differs from the version in Office 2010 as these two releases do not include the Protected View feature. When users attempt to open a document that fails validation, they must first agree to a warning prompt before it can be opened.^[109] Additionally, the configuration options in these two releases are only made available through the Windows Registry,^[110] whereas Office 2010 also provides Group Policy options.^[104]

Protected View[edit]

Protected View, an isolated sandbox environment for Excel, PowerPoint, and Word, replaces the Isolated Conversion Environment update available for previous versions of Microsoft Office. When a document is opened from a potentially unsafe location such as the Internet or as an e-mail attachment, or if a document does not comply with File Block policy or if it fails Office File Validation, it is opened in Protected View, which prohibits potentially unsafe documents from modifying components, files, and other resources on a system; users can also manually open documents in Protected View.^[111] When a document is opened in Protected View, users are allowed to view, copy, and paste the contents of the document, but there are no options to edit, save, or print contents, and all active document content including ActiveX controls, database connections, hyperlinks, and macros is disabled.^[112] Users can open documents outside of Protected View by clicking on the «Enable Editing» button that appears on a message bar within the Office user interface. As a precautionary measure, active content within a potentially unsafe document remains disabled when a user reopens it after exiting Protected View until a user clicks the «Enable Content» button on the message bar, which designates the document as a trusted document so that users are not prompted when it is opened in the future.^[113]

Protected View is implemented as a separate child process instance of Excel, PowerPoint, and Word. The main process of each app is assigned the current user’s access token and hosts the Office user interface elements such as the ribbon, whereas the Protected View process consists of the document viewing area, parses and renders the document content, and operates with reduced privileges; the main process serves as a mediator for requests initiated by the separate process. In Windows Vista and later versions of Windows, Mandatory Integrity Control and User Interface Privilege Isolation further restrict the separate process.^[111] Protected View is also available when Office 2010 is installed on Windows XP, but it is not as robust due to the absence of these security features.^[114]

Trusted documents[edit]

Office 2010 allows users to designate individual documents as trusted, which allows all active content to operate each time a specific document is opened; trusted documents do not open in Protected View. Documents residing in either local or remote directories can be trusted, but users are warned if an attempt is made to trust a document from a remote resource. To increase security, documents in Temporary Internet Files and the TEMP directory cannot be trusted. Trusted document preferences, referred to as trust records, are stored within the Windows Registry on a per-user basis; trust records contain the full path to trusted documents and other specific file information to protect users from social engineering attacks.^[113]

Other security features[edit]

• Office 2010 is the first version of Office to natively support Data Execution Prevention (DEP).^[12] It complies with DEP policies and provides options to disable DEP in the interface or through Group Policy.^[115]
• An Office ActiveX kill bit provides options to configure ActiveX controls within Office 2010 without affecting the operation of these controls within Internet Explorer.^[12]
• Additional Group Policy settings for File Block functionality in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word.^[12]
• Cryptography improvements including support for Cryptography API: Next Generation in Access, Excel, InfoPath, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word; Suite B support; and integrity validation of encrypted files.^[12]
• Document time stamping of digital signatures.^[12]
• Domain-based password complexity and enforcement policies.^[12]

Graphics[edit]

Artistic effects[edit]

Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word include a variety of artistic effects such as glass, paint stroke, pastel, and pencil sketch effects that users can apply to inserted images.^[116]

Background removal[edit]

A new background removal feature based on Microsoft Research technology is included in Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word to remove the backgrounds of images inserted into documents. It is exposed as a Remove Background command that appears on the Picture Tools contextual tab on the ribbon when an image is selected, which displays a separate Background Removal contextual tab and places a selection rectangle and magenta color over portions of the selected image; the selection rectangle algorithmically determines which area of the selected image will be retained once the background removal process is complete, whereas the magenta color indicates the areas that will be removed. Users can manually adjust the position and size of the selection rectangle and also mark specific areas of an image to keep or remove;^[117] it is also possible to delete a mark after an inadvertent selection or if it produces an undesired result. After the background has been removed, users can apply various visual effects to the result image or wrap text in a document around it; users can also crop the image since removing the background does not reduce its original size.^[118]

Cropping improvements[edit]

Office 2010 introduces photo crop process improvements in Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Word. The crop selection rectangle now grays out the portion of a photo to be removed when cropping and displays the result area in color—instead of omitting the removed portion from view, as previous versions of Office did. Photos can now be repositioned underneath the selection rectangle. A new Aspect Ratio option under the Crop command of the ribbon presents a drop-drop down menu with options for both landscape and portrait page orientations to customize the aspect ratio of the selection rectangle before cropping, which automatically resizes the selection rectangle when users start the crop process; users can manually resize the selection rectangle and simultaneously preserve its aspect ratio by resizing it from its corners while pressing the ⇧ Shift key.^[119][120]

The Picture Shape command in previous versions of Office has been replaced with a new Crop to Shape command that allows users to resize and move the selected shape itself when cropping. Office 2010, like previous versions, automatically resizes photos that are inserted into shapes by default, which can negatively affect their aspect ratio. To address this, photos in shapes can now be cropped or resized after being inserted, and individual Fit and Fill options have been incorporated. The former option resizes the selected photo so that the entire area of the crop selection rectangle or shape is filled, whereas the latter option resizes the photo so that it is displayed within the selection rectangle or within a shape in its entirety; both options maintain the original aspect ratio of the selected photo. Photos inserted into SmartArt diagrams can also be cropped, resized, or repositioned.^[119]

Font effects and enhancements[edit]

Excel, PowerPoint, and Word support text effects such as bevels, gradient fills, glows, reflections, and shadows. Publisher and Word support OpenType features such as kerning, ligatures, stylistic sets, and text figures with fonts such as Calibri, Cambria, Corbel, and Gabriola.^[116]

Hardware acceleration[edit]

Excel, PowerPoint, and Word support hardware accelerated graphics when installed on a machine with a DirectX 9.0c-compliant GPU that has at least 64 MB of video memory. Excel supports hardware accelerated chart drawing, and PowerPoint supports hardware accelerated animations, transitions, and video playback and effects; slideshow elements are now rendered as sprites, which are then composited with additional effects such as fades and wipes implemented using Pixel Shader 2.0. All Office 2010 programs support Direct3D hardware accelerated SmartArt and WordArt object and text rendering.^[121] Additionally, the background removal feature and image adjustments such as brightness and contrast are all accelerated when used on capable hardware.^[122]

Screenshot capture[edit]

Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word allow users to immediately insert a screenshot of open app windows or a selection of content on the screen into documents without saving the image as a file. The functionality is exposed through a new Screenshot command on the Insert tab of the ribbon that, when clicked, presents individual options to capture either app windows or selections of content. The former option presents open windows as thumbnails in a gallery on the ribbon that insert a screenshot of the selected window into the active app, while the latter option minimizes the currently active app, dims the screen, and presents a selection rectangle for users to create a screenshot by holding the main mouse button, dragging the selection rectangle to a desired area of the screen, and then releasing the button to automatically insert the selection as an image into the document. Only windows that have not been minimized to the taskbar can be captured. After a screenshot has been inserted, various adjustments can be made.^[123]

SmartArt improvements[edit]

SmartArt, a set of diagrams introduced in Office 2007 for Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word has been updated with new effects, options, and interface improvements. The SmartArt text pane now allows users to insert, modify, and reorder images and their associated text within a diagram, and new Move Up and Move Down commands on the ribbon facilitate the reordering of content. Images are automatically cropped when inserted into shapes within SmartArt diagrams to preserve their aspect ratio; users can also manually reposition images. During the crop process, the layout of shapes in SmartArt diagrams is locked to prevent users from inadvertently modifying its position while making adjustments to an image.^[119] Approximately 50 new diagrams have been introduced. Of these, a new Picture category dedicated to the presentation of images includes over 30 diagrams, and the Organization Chart category includes 3 new diagrams.^[124]

A new Convert command on the SmartArt contextual tab of the ribbon includes additional features for Excel and PowerPoint. The Convert to Shapes feature, introduced in Office 2007 SP2 as a context menu option that turned SmartArt into a group of customizable shapes is now on the ribbon in both programs. Additionally, in PowerPoint, it is possible to convert SmartArt diagrams into bulleted lists through a new Convert to Text option.^[124]

Accessibility[edit]

Accessibility Checker[edit]

Office 2010 introduces Accessibility Checker in Excel, PowerPoint, and Word that examines documents for issues affecting visually impaired readers. It is accessible through the «Check for Issues» button on the Prepare for Sharing group on the Info tab of Backstage, which opens a task pane with a list of accessibility issues discovered in the document and provides suggestions to resolve them. Backstage itself also reports accessibility issues in the Prepare for Sharing group so that they can be resolved before the document is shared with other users.^[125] Administrators can configure how prominently this information is displayed within the interface through Group Policy.^[126]

Language preferences[edit]

A Language Preferences interface in Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher, Visio, and Word is accessible in the Backstage view and replaces the language customization interface seen in previous versions of Office.^[127] The new interface provides information about currently installed language packs and their related components, hyperlinks to download additional content, and a new ScreenTip Language feature that allows users to customize the language of tooltips.^[128]

Text-to-speech improvements[edit]

A Mini Translator allows users to translate selected text in OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. Translations for phrases or words are displayed within a tooltip, from which users can hear an audio pronunciation of the selected text provided by one of the Microsoft text-to-speech voices installed on a machine, copy the translation to the clipboard so that it can be inserted into another document, or view a definition provided by an online service if the selected text is a word.^[129] Audio pronunciations are made available through a Speak command, which can be accessed separately from the Mini Translator (e.g., added to the ribbon), but the command can only be used if a text-to-speech engine matching the language of the selected text is installed. Users can download various text-to-speech engines from Microsoft.^[130] Speak is not available when Office 2010 is installed on Windows XP.^[131]

Remarks

Starter edition[edit]

Office Starter 2010 is an ad-supported, reduced-functionality edition consisting of Excel and Word, discontinued in June 2012 before the release of Office 2013 and Windows 8.^[157] Office Starter 2010 was available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to preload on Windows PCs as a replacement for Microsoft Works;^[16][17][18] it is only compatible with Windows Vista and Windows 7.^[158] Word Starter 2010 cannot insert captions, citations, footnotes, endnotes, equations, indexes, or SmartArt graphics or text, and it does not support change trackage, customization, digital rights management, full screen view, or macro functionality.^[159] Excel Starter 2010 does not support calculation steps, circular references, custom views, error analyses, external data connections, PivotTables, or PivotCharts.^[160] Office Starter 2010 is the only edition to offer a To-Go Device Manager feature, which allows users to install the productivity suite to a USB flash drive and run it temporarily on any computer with Windows Vista SP1 or Windows 7 installed to which the USB drive is connected.^[161]

Office Online[edit]

Office Online is a collection of free Web-based versions of Excel, OneNote, PowerPoint, and Word that offers fewer features than its client counterparts.^[14] It was released to OneDrive users before the general availability of Office 2010.^[15]

Office Mobile 2010[edit]

Office Mobile 2010 was released before general availability of Office 2010 as a free upgrade for users of Windows Mobile 6.5 devices with a previous version of Office Mobile installed.^[19] New features in Office Mobile 2010 include:^[162]

• Conversation View: When used with Exchange Server 2007 or later, Outlook Mobile 2010 combines related emails into a group for easier reading and management—as the Outlook 2010 desktop client does.
• PowerPoint Streaming: When used in Windows Phone 7, Office Mobile 2010 can stream high-fidelity presentations from a PC to a phone.
• Presentation Companion: PowerPoint Mobile 2010 allows users to use Bluetooth to control a computer presentation from Windows Mobile and view speaker notes on the mobile screen.
• SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010: Users can email or sync documents from SharePoint Server 2010 directly to their Windows Mobile devices for offline viewing and editing and sync them when reconnected.
• SmartArt Graphics: Office Mobile 2010 can display SmartArt charts and graphics. PowerPoint Mobile 2010 in particular has enhanced support for displaying SmartArt graphics.

Reception[edit]

Critical reception[edit]

Office 2010 received mostly positive reviews upon its release, with particular praise devoted to the modified ribbon and the new Backstage view. Laptop Mag rated the suite 4 out of 5 stars, referring to it as “the best Office suite yet” because of the new customization options provided by the ribbon, the new multimedia editing capabilities, a new option to share presentations online via PowerPoint, and app response times; Microsoft’s decision to include OneNote in all retail versions of Office 2010 also received high praise.^[32] PC Magazine also rated the suite 4 out of 5 stars for similar reasons; the inclusion of the ribbon in all programs was viewed favorably because it enhances consistency and usability, and the Backstage view was praised for simplifying access to file management and printing options. However, PC Magazine expressed dissatisfaction with the «intrusive» default auto formatting options in Word; the lack of an upgrade edition or pricing for users of a previous version of Office; and the stability of Office programs. Nevertheless, Office 2010 was regarded as a «dazzlingly attractive upgrade” that received the magazine’s Editors’ Choice and Best of the Year 2010 accolades.^[33] Office 2010 also received positive reviews from Alphr,^[163] PC Advisor,^[164] PC World,^[165] and TechRadar.^[166]

Not all assessments and reviews were positive. InfoWorld considered the modified Ribbon in Office 2010 to be a «disorganized mess», and the user-interface conventions to be confusing because of the lack of consistency across routine functions. The Backstage view was also criticized for «containing a schizophrenic array of buttons, button menus, and hyperlink-like text labels» and for being presented as a full-screen interface instead of as a drop-down menu similar to Paint and WordPad in Windows 7. Sluggish performance was also a subject of criticism, although the review was written before development of the product had been formally completed.^[167]

Reactions to the various product versions, including the 64-bit version of Office 2010, were mixed. Ars Technica believed that Microsoft’s transition to a 64-bit version of Office would facilitate the industry’s adoption of 64-bit software.^[23] However, concerns about backward compatibility and performance issues were raised.^[168][169] After the product’s launch, Microsoft stated that «the 64-bit version of Office 2010 is likely to introduce compatibility issues» and recommended the 32-bit version for most users;^[170] the Office 2010 setup program installs the 32-bit version by default unless a 64-bit version is already installed on the target machine.^[22][169] In a departure from previous versions of Office, Microsoft did not offer an upgrade version of Office 2010—a move that was criticized for effectively increasing the cost of the product for users already running a previous version.^{[168][171][172]} While the new Product Key Card program was considered to be an affordable alternative to an upgrade version because of its affordability when compared with a full retail purchase,^[172][173] it presented a limitation not seen with a full retail version in that its license prohibited the software from being transferred to another machine.^[173][174]

The Starter edition of Office 2010 received mostly positive reviews;^{[175][176][177]} a feature omitted from other editions of Office 2010 that received praise was To-Go Device Manager, which allowed users to copy Office 2010 Starter installation files to a USB flash drive and use its programs on another PC, even one where a version of Office was not installed.^[175][177] However, criticism was directed at the edition’s lack of functionality and its mandatory advertisements.^{[178][179][180]}

Sales[edit]

The initial two-week sales of Office 2010 were lower than those previously observed with the suite’s predecessor, Office 2007, a fact considered by Stephen Baker of NPD Group to be “disappointing.”^{[34][181][182]} Baker attributed this lack of sales to «a seasonally slow period for PC purchases» and an «increasingly saturated installed base.» Free alternatives to the productivity suite such as Google Docs were not regarded as detrimental to the adoption of Office 2010;^[34][181] however, this view was not shared by all journalists.^[183][184] In spite of initial sales that were lower than expected, sales of Office 2010—particularly consumer sales—contributed to a record first-quarter profit for Microsoft during its 2011 fiscal year.^{[36][185][186][187][188]} While other products contributed to this record, Microsoft Business Division, the division responsible for Office, earned the highest percentage of total revenue during this time period.^[187][189] As of November 1, 2010, over six million copies of Office 2010 were sold, a figure that represented «more than 30 copies being sold every minute.»^[190]

Details related to Microsoft’s second-quarter earnings during the company’s 2011 fiscal year were posted on January 27, 2011, showing that the company had set a record for second-quarter revenue of $19.95 billion. The Microsoft Business Division grew by 24% year-over-year, with Office 2010 becoming the fastest-selling consumer version of Office in history; license sales of Office 2010 were also «over 50% ahead of Office 2007 over an equivalent period following launch.»^{[191][192][193]} Results during the company’s third-quarter 2011 fiscal year were later strong, with Microsoft’s Business division expecting to see «Office sales exceed PC demand in fiscal 2011.”^[194]

On June 15, 2011, a year after Office 2010’s general availability, Microsoft Office corporate vice president Takeshi Numoto stated that deployment of the productivity suite among business customers was “five times faster” than that of its predecessor, Office 2007, and that the latest version was “the fastest-selling consumer version of Office ever” with a copy being sold every second since the product launched;^[35] the claim was previously made by Microsoft in January during the Consumer Electronics Show.^[195][196] Based on this claim, Network World estimated that an approximate 31.5 million licenses were sold since Office 2010’s launch.^[35] Office Online proved to be popular as well, with Nuoto stating that it had seen over 50 million unique visitors since its launch.^[35] By July 2011, over 100 million licenses were sold,^[197] which contributed to record Q4 earnings and annual revenue.^[198] However, year-over-year consumer revenue for Office had declined by 8 percent, though revenue from Microsoft’s Business Division had increased by 27 percent during the same period.^[199] During the second quarter of Microsoft’s 2012 fiscal year, the company reported a revenue of $20.9 billion—another record for the company—with Office 2010 being a contributing factor, having sold nearly 200 million licenses as of December 31, 2011,^[37] in spite of declining Windows sales.^[200]

Microsoft reportedly discontinued sales of Office 2010 on January 31, 2013, just two days after its successor, Office 2013, reached general availability.^[38]

Enterprise adoption[edit]

According to a survey conducted by market research company Forrester Research in 2011 with a sample consisting of 150 North American and European enterprise executives, Office 2010 was in use by 52% of respondents, behind Office 2003 or earlier and Office 2007 at 74% and 72%, respectively.^[201] In a 2013 survey, Office 2010 was the dominant productivity suite when compared to previous versions and competitors’ offerings with a total of 85% usage share among the 155 enterprise survey respondents.^[202] According to a 2017 survey, Office 2010 was the most used edition of Microsoft Office among organizations with a usage share of 83% — surpassing Office 2007 at 68% and Office 2003 at 46%, respectively. About 53% of respondents were also using Microsoft 365 (then Office 365).^[203]

Microsoft Office 2010^[2][3] (кодовое имя Office 14) — название версии пакета Microsoft Office для Microsoft Windows. Microsoft начала работу над Office 2010 в 2006 году, когда заканчивалась работа над пакетом Office 12 (который вышел под названием Microsoft Office 2007). Примечательно, что версия 13 была пропущена из-за того, что число 13 считается неудачным^[4]. По состоянию на 31 декабря 2011 года было продано почти 200 миллионов лицензий Office 2010.

История[]

Office 2010 вышел в продажу 12 мая 2010 года, в розницу поступил 15 июня. Предполагалось, что Office 2010 будет представлен примерно в одно время с новой операционной системой Microsoft Windows 7. Однако на компьютеры с Windows 7 устанавливается Microsoft Office 2007. Согласно статье, опубликованной в апреле 2006 года, Office 2010 более «ролевой», чем предыдущие версии пакета.^[5] В статье цитируют Симона Виттса (англ. Simon Witts), вице-президента Microsoft Enterprise and Partner Group, который сообщил, что пакет будет ориентирован на определённые роли сотрудников — исследователей, разработчиков, менеджеров, кадровиков. Office 2010 заимствует некоторые идеи из идеологии «Web 2.0». Microsoft встроила возможности SharePoint Server в новую версию офисного пакета^[6].

Office 2010 реализует совместимую с ISO версию Office Open XML, которая была стандартизирована как ISO 29500 в марте 2008.^[7] Также Microsoft предоставила Web-версию своих офисных продуктов, известную как Office Web, дебютирующую вместе с Office 2010.^[8] Office Web включает в себя онлайн-версии Word, Excel, PowerPoint и OneNote.

Бета-тестеры получили приглашения к тестированию Professional-редакции Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview в начале августа 2009 года. Пользоваться ей можно, согласно EULA, до 30 октября 2010 года.

Вторая бета-версия вышла 16 ноября 2009 года. Публично она стала доступна 19 ноября 2009 года^[9]. Вторая бета-версия уже была переведена на семь языков, включая русский.

Сборка Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4760.1000 получила статус RTM 16 апреля 2010 года.^[10] К моменту выхода RTM бета-версии были скачаны около 7,5 миллионов раз.

В России коробочные версии Office 2010 появились в продаже 6 июля (англоязычные версии) и 15 июля (русскоязычные версии) 2010 года^[11].

28 июня 2011 года стал доступен первый пакет обновления 14.0.6023.1000.

В марте 2013 года стало известно о скором выпуске 2-го пакета обновлений, который содержит исправления ошибок и включает в себя ранее выпущенные обновления.

Второй пакет обновления для Office 2010 вышел 24 июля 2013 и содержит в себе ранее не выпускавшиеся заплатки для повышения стабильности, производительности и безопасности графического пакета, а также все апдейты и кумулятивные патчи, выпускавшиеся в период с апреля по май 2013 года. Приложения, которые подверглись переработке и исправлению: Excel 2010, Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010 и Word 2010.

Компоненты[]

Несмотря на ожидания, Microsoft Outlook 2010 не следует всем требованиям со стороны Email Standards Project.^[12] В частности, как и в Microsoft Outlook 2007, отсутствует поддержка CSS, фоновых рисунков, ряд других функций, входящих в перечень Email Standards Project.

В пакет встроена улучшенная антипиратская технология Office Genuine Advantage, дебютировавшая в апреле 2008 года^[13]. Пока что неизвестно, будут ли в ней исправлены нарекания на необходимость иметь администраторские права для активации и ошибочные срабатывания на программах, не являющихся компонентами Office. Все продукты линейки (кроме серверных и OEM) требуют активации.

Версии[]

Office 2010 предлагается в двух вариантах — для 32-битных и 64-битных операционных систем^[14] и четырёх редакциях: «Начальная», «Для дома и учёбы», «Для дома и бизнеса» и «Профессиональная» (примечательно, что, как и в случае с Windows 7, Майкрософт приняла решение перевести названия данных редакций на русский язык). Кроме того, выпускаются версии «Standard» и «Professional Plus» — однако, они доступны лишь контрактным пользователям или подписчикам MSDN/TechNet. Стоит также заметить, что версия «Начальная» распространяется вместе с новыми компьютерами, на которых сборщиками систем предустанавливается ОС Windows, и только с ними, включая в себя лишь Word и Excel. Ожидается, что этот пакет заменит Microsoft Works.

64-разрядный пакет недоступен для Windows XP и Windows Server 2003, при попытке установить 64-битную версию на Windows XP 64-bit возникает критическая ошибка.

«64-битная редакция Office 2010 может быть установлена только на Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 или Windows 7»

Microsoft Office Mobile[]

Office Mobile — специальная версия пакета, предназначенная для запуска на мобильных телефонах и коммуникаторах, которая должна была быть представлена на конференции TechEd в ноябре 2009 года, однако команда Office оказалась не готовой к конференции^[18]. Тем не менее Office Mobile всё-таки вышел на Windows Mobile и включался в Windows Mobile 6.5. Однако официальная версия пакета уступала по функциональности программам сторонних разработчиков.

Сборка Microsoft Office 2010 14.0.4760.1000 получила статус RTM 16 апреля 2010 года.^[10] К моменту выхода RTM бета-версии были скачаны около 7,5 миллионов раз.

В России коробочные версии Office 2010 появились в продаже 6 июля (англоязычные версии) и 15 июля (русскоязычные версии) 2010 года^[11].

28 июня 2011 года стал доступен первый пакет обновления 14.0.6023.1000.

Компоненты

Несмотря на ожидания, Microsoft Outlook 2010 не следует всем требованиям со стороны Email Standards Project.^[12] В частности, как и в Microsoft Outlook 2007, отсутствует поддержка CSS, фоновых рисунков, ряд других функций, входящих в перечень Email Standards Project.

В пакет встроена улучшенная антипиратская технология Office Genuine Advantage, дебютировавшая в апреле 2008 года^[13]. Пока что неизвестно, будут ли в ней исправлены нарекания на необходимость иметь администраторские права для активации и ошибочные срабатывания на программах, не являющихся компонентами Office. Все продукты линейки (кроме серверных и OEM) требуют активации.

Версии

Office 2010 предлагается в двух вариантах — для 32-битных и 64-битных операционных систем^[14] и четырёх редакциях: «Начальная», «Для дома и учёбы», «Для дома и бизнеса» и «Профессиональная» (примечательно, что, как и в случае с Windows 7, Майкрософт приняла решение перевести названия данных редакций на русский язык). Кроме того, выпускаются версии «Standard» и «Professional Plus» — однако, они доступны лишь контрактным пользователям или подписчикам MSDN/TechNet. Стоит также заметить, что версия «Начальная» распространяется вместе с новыми компьютерами, на которых сборщиками систем предустанавливается ОС Windows, и только с ними, включая в себя лишь Word и Excel. Ожидается, что этот пакет заменит Microsoft Works.

64-разрядный пакет недоступен для Windows XP и Windows Server 2003, при попытке установить 64-битную версию на Windows XP 64 возникает критическая ошибка — «64-битная редакция Office 2010 может быть установлена только на Windows Vista , Windows Server 2008 или Windows 7».

• Word
• Excel
• PowerPoint

• веб-приложение Visio

Последние две функции не будут доступны до окончательного релиза. Бесплатная онлайн версия будет работать почти во всех популярных браузерах, кроме Opera Онлайн-версия будет доступна как на бесплатной основе, так и на платной^[17].

• Платная версия для бизнес-клиентов с доступом к SharePoint будет размещена на Microsoft Online Services и пока недоступна для тестирования.

Microsoft Office Mobile

Office Mobile  — специальная версия пакета, предназначенная для запуска на мобильных телефонах и коммуникаторах, которая должна была быть представлена на конференции TechEd в ноябре 2009 года, однако команда Office оказалась не готовой к конференции^[18]. Тем не менее Office Mobile всё-таки вышел на Windows Mobile и включался в Windows Mobile 6.5 . Однако официальная версия пакета уступала по функциональности программам сторонних разработчиков.
