Microsoft Excel is a spreadsheet program that originally
competed with the dominant Lotus 1-2-3, and eventually
outsold it. It is available for the Windows and OS X platforms. Microsoft released the rst version of Excel for
the Mac OS in 1985, and the rst Windows version (numbered 2.05 to line up with the Mac and bundled with a
standalone Windows run-time environment) in November 1987. It provided more functionality than the previous version.

Oce Mobile for iPhone was released on 14 June 2013
in the United States.[14] Support for 135 markets and 27
languages was rolled out over a few days.[15] It requires
iOS 7 or later.[16] Although the app also works on iPad
devices, excluding the rst generation, it is designed for a
small screen.[14] Oce Mobile was released for Android
phones on 31 July 2013 in the United States. Support
for 117 markets and 33 languages was added gradually
over several weeks.[13] It is supported on Android 4.0
and later.[17] Oce Mobile for both iPhone and Android,
available for free from the App Store and Google Play
Store respectively, initially required a qualifying Oce
365 subscription to activate, but in March 2014, with the
release of Oce for iPad, the apps were updated making
them fully free for home use, although a subscription is
still required for business use.[18][19][20][21]

apps.[24][25]

they met problems such as memory access being hampered by data structure alignment requirements. Microsoft Word 97 and Excel 97 however did ship for the
DEC Alpha platform. Diculties in porting Oce may
have been a factor in discontinuing Windows NT on nonIntel platforms.[48]
Stuart Cohen, CEO of Open Source Development Labs,
conjectured in 2006 that Microsoft would eventually
release a Linux port of Oce,[49] which occurred via
Microsoft Oce Mobile for Android phones (OS 4.0 or
later) in 2013 and tablets (OS 4.4 or later) in 2015. Oce
is also available for iOS, another Unix-like platform. Ofce for Windows Phone and the older Windows Mobile
are distinguished from the main Windows version, but
Oce 2016 for Windows 10 will consist of one Universal
App compatible with both main and mobile versions of
Windows.

is the last version to support Windows 98, ME and NT
4.0. It was the rst version to require Product Activation
as an anti-piracy measure, which attracted widespread
controversy.[77]
Microsoft Oce XP (Oce 10.0 or Oce 2002) was released in conjunction with Windows XP, and was a major upgrade with numerous enhancements and changes
over Oce 2000. Oce XP introduced the Safe Mode
feature, which allows applications such as Outlook to
boot when it might otherwise fail. Safe Mode enables
Oce to detect and either repair or bypass the source
of the problem, such as a corrupted registry or a faulty
add-in. Smart tag is a technology introduced with Ofce XP. Some smart tags operate based on user activity,
such as helping with typing errors. These smart tags are
supplied with the products, and are not programmable.
For developers, though, there is the ability to create custom smart tags. In Oce XP, custom smart tags could
work only in Word and Excel. Microsoft Oce XP includes integrated voice command and text dictation capabilities, as well as handwriting recognition. Oce XP

Microsoft has noted that some features are added to Ofce for Mac before they appear in Windows versions,
such as Oce for Mac 2001s Oce Project Gallery and
PowerPoint Movie feature, which allows users to save
presentations as QuickTime movies.[94][95] However, Microsoft Oce for Mac has been long criticized for its lack
of support of Unicode and right-to-left languages, notably
Arabic, Hebrew and Persian.[96][97]
