Microsoft Office XP (codenamed Office 10) is an office suite created and distributed by Microsoft for the Windows operating system. Office XP was released to manufacturing on March 5, 2001 and was later made available to retail on May 31, 2001. It is the successor to Office 2000 and the predecessor to Office 2003.
New features in Office XP include smart tags, a selection-based search feature that recognizes different types of text in a document so that users can perform additional actions; a task pane interface that consolidates popular menu bar commands on the right side of the screen to facilitate quick access; new document collaboration capabilities, support for MSN Groups and SharePoint; and integrated handwriting recognition and speech recognition capabilities. With Office XP, Microsoft incorporated several features to address reliability issues observed in previous versions of Office. Office XP also introduces separate Document Imaging,Document Scanning, and Clip Organizer utilities. The Office Assistant introduced in Office 97 is disabled by default in Office XP, which was a key element of Microsoft's campaign for the product after the negative reception of this feature.
