Microsoft Office Compatible

Ulead PhotoImpact is a Microsoft Office Compatible product, which means that its toolbars, menus, and accelerator keys are similar to those used by Microsoft Office. If you are already using Microsoft Office, which includes Microsoft Excel, Word, Access and PowerPoint, then many of the tasks you have learned to complete in Office can be completed in a similar manner in PhotoImpact. Ulead Systems and Microsoft hope these similarities will make it easier to use our products together with other Microsoft Office Compatible products.

Look for the Microsoft Office Compatible logo when purchasing software. For more information about the Microsoft Office Compatible program, and for a complete listing of Microsoft Office Compatible products, in the United States call Microsoft Customer Service
