Other application changes

PowerPoint picks up SmartArt and the new ribbon bar, and you can change themes to give your presentation a more pleasing look and feel (themes control everything from background color to the color of a table or chart, the text font(s) and the bulleted style). Otherwise, it's pretty much the same as the 2003 version.

In Access, new field types let you attach any file (a document or image, for example) or enter multiple values in a field.

Details on changes in Visio 2007 and Publisher 2007 were not available at posting time.
