Microsoft® Office
Fast Facts
for Windows® 95
Feature List
[pic]
Overview
This feature list is designed to give you an overview of the features
included in Office for Windows 95. It is not designed to be a comprehensive
feature list of every Office application feature since that would require
another binder. Rather it is designed to give you an overview of the key
features and feature areas for the Office applications. The document is
segmented by product and feature areas for easier reference.
