Internet Access

Office Express takes advantage of the new "web services" available to software designers who are using the new Microsoft Visual Studio .NET package. Office Express uses these services and as more useful services become available Office Express will bring them to you.

Weather Forecasts

If you have a cable or DSL modem Office Express automatically detects the internet connection and takes advantage of it. When you first start Office Express, the software retrieves the current weather for your area and also a seven day forecast that is displayed directly on your Home page. Office Express will update the forecast once an hour.

NOTE: If Office Express can not find an internet connection, the weather forecast is not displayed. If you have a dialup connection you need to already be connected to the internet before you start Office Express.

Browsing the Web

When you click the Internet icon at the top-right of the Office Express window, Office Express' Internet Browser page is displayed. This browser in actuality is Microsoft Explorer "wrapped" into Office Express. The implications are that you have a full-featured and very powerful internet browser at your disposal right inside Office Express.

Feel free to browse the net the same as you already do!
