Ashampoo Office provides everything you need when working with documents, spreadsheets or presentations! The Ashampoo Office suite contains three valuable components: the Ashampoo TextMaker , the Ashampoo PlanMaker and Ashampoo Presentations .

Ashampoo TextMaker is the program for excellent and comprehensive word processing. Whether it is letters, flyers, brochures or a scientific paper - Ashampoo Office is the perfect solution.

For all tasks concerning spreadsheets the Ashampoo PlanMaker , a comprehensive and easy to use program, is included in the suite. A total of 330 calculation functions enable users to easily and successfully deal with spreadsheets, calculations and charts.

Creating presentations is easier and more creative than ever with Ashampoo Presentations ! Professionally designed templates and stunning animations on the basis of DirectX technology give presentations a completely new look.

Ashampoo Office offers superior compatibility to Microsoft Office 2010 and OpenOffice, i.e. it reads and writes Word, Excel and PowerPoint files with highest accuracy. And best of all: you can simply install Ashampoo Office on a USB stick - and never leave your home without your office suite ever again. No matter if you are a rookie or an expert, this application will help you to obtain high-quality results, both in the office and at home.

Ashampoo TextMaker is everything you expect from a word processing software: it is fast, reliable and compatible - simply everything you need to manage your everyday correspondence. Needful helpers assist in writing serial letters, printing envelopes or finding spelling mistakes. But Ashampoo TextMaker is more than just a word processor. The new object mode offers exhaustive layout capabilities for easy flyer or poster design and enables you to position graphics, text frames or drawings anywhere you want to.

In an otherwise Microsoft dominated working environment Ashampoo Office performs at its best and provides superior compatibility with Microsoft Office. Simply exchange documents with colleagues and business partners, just like you’re used to.

The spreadsheet Ashampoo PlanMaker is on par with Microsoft Excel and offers more than 330 calculation functions that cover areas such as finance, statistics, cost analysis and many more. Form objects, filter functions, automatic summation, grouping of large spreadsheets, syntax highlighting and the new “detective” (formula checker) help to ease the handling of complex charts.

Visualize and present your results trouble-free with the powerful chart module that turns your numbers into colorful yet precise charts. Choose from 70 different chart types (2D and 3D) and create column charts, bar charts, pie charts, area charts, bubble charts, pyramid charts etc. With a number of effects like reflections, smooth shadows, elegant color gradients, transparency, and many more you can give your charts a fresh and personal touch.

With Ashampoo Presentations you are able to create stunning presentations that will catch your audience’s attention in no time. The program offers a variety of design templates, objects, and graphic effects thus enabling you to create a multimedia slideshow that leaves nothing to be desired.

An innovative new feature in Ashampoo Presentations is the huge number of animations and transitions based on DirectX technology. Meet state-of-the-art graphics technology that goes beyond anything you ever experienced from a presentation graphics program. Animate your slides as puzzle, let them turn over like book pages, or let them burst into flames. Of course the program also offers a great variety of unobtrusive effects and classy animations to imbue your presentation with a more “serious” touch.

With this powerful presentation graphics program, your creativity knows no limits! Embed graphics in different formats, use AutoForms, crop pictures directly in the program, embed movies or audio files and use different effects like reflections, shadows, transparency or antialiasing with your objects or text blocks. Go ahead and save/export your presentation in a file format of your choice, like for example as PowerPoint presentation, HTML website or PDF document. If desired, you can also print handouts for your audience.
