Office 95 included new components to the suite such as Schedule+ and [[Microsoft Binder|Binder]]. Office for Windows 95 was designed as a fully [[32-bit]] version to match [[Windows 95]] although some apps not bundled as part of the suite at that time - [[Microsoft Publisher|Publisher]] for Windows 95 and [[Microsoft Project|Project]] 95 had some 16-bit components even though their main program executable was 32-bit.

Office 95 was available in two versions, Office 95 Standard and Office 95 Professional. The standard version consisted of Word 7.0, Excel 7.0, PowerPoint 7.0, and Schedule+ 7.0. The professional edition contained all of the items in the standard version plus [[Microsoft Access|Access]] 7.0. If the professional version was purchased in [[CD-ROM]] form, it also included [[Microsoft Bookshelf|Bookshelf]].

==== Microsoft Office 97 ====
'''[[Microsoft Office 97]]''' (Office 8.0) included hundreds of new features and improvements, such as introducing command bars, a paradigm in which menus and toolbars were made more similar in capability and visual design.

Office 97 featured new components to the suite including [[Microsoft FrontPage|FrontPage 97]], [[Microsoft Streets & Trips|Expedia Streets 98]] (in Small Business Edition), and [[Internet Explorer|Internet Explorer 3.0 & 4.0]].

Office 97 was the first version of Office to include the Office Assistant. In [[Brazil]], it was also the first version to introduce the Registration Wizard, a precursor to [[Microsoft Product Activation]]. With this release, the accompanying apps, [[Microsoft Project|Project 98]] and [[Microsoft Publisher|Publisher 98]] also transitioned to fully 32-bit versions.

==== Microsoft Office XP ====
'''[[Microsoft Office XP]]''' (Office 10.0 or Office 2002) was released in conjunction with [[Windows XP]], and was a major upgrade with numerous enhancements and changes over Office 2000. Office XP introduced the [[Safe Mode]] feature, which allows applications such as Outlook to boot when it might otherwise fail by bypassing a corrupted [[Windows registry|registry]] or a faulty add-in. [[Smart tag (Microsoft)|Smart tag]] is a technology introduced with Office XP in Word and Excel and discontinued in Office 2010.

Office XP includes integrated voice command and text dictation capabilities, as well as [[handwriting recognition]].
