Differences within Office Suites

[Guest]

In older versions, I have noticed differences in the options available in
programs that are packaged within different Office Suites. For example, there
are more picture or border selections available in the Professional Word as
compared to Word from the Basic, Small Business, and Student Editions of the
Office Suite. Is this also true of the new 2007 Office Suites or am I
completely wrong about the older Office Suites?

I think you're wrong. AFAIK, there are no differences among the suites
except as to the applications they include. For example, Office Professional
includes Access, which many other suites don't. And some versions of Office
2003 don't include XML and digital rights management. Aside from that,
however, Word in any suite is identical to Word in any other. One other
possible difference: some suites may include more fonts. But I've never
heard any reports that some contain more Border Art than others (though
Publisher does allow you to create your own).
