IBM® Lotus® Symphony™ offers better visual design, easier access, and more useful functions to assist your work.
In addition to Microsoft Office 97, 2000, 2003 file formats, you can open Microsoft Office 2007 documents that are protected by password in Lotus Symphony 3.0.1.
The bullets and numbering has a better visual design and you can set list styles more easily from the Numbering and Bullets window. You not only can select from the predefined styles but also can customize your own style for your bullets, numbering list, or multilevel list. If the text contains a numbering and bullet style that is not in predefined styles, when you click it, the style is automatically recognized. It is displayed in the predefined list.
You can view, edit, and set simple properties for your speaker notes in Normal view. If you want to make further editing and set various properties for notes, you can switch to the Notes view.
You can copy cells that contain data from a spreadsheet and paste them in slides. The cell range are treated as an OLE object and you can navigate to the original sheet by double-clicking the object. When data in the cell range copied from the source spreadsheets changes, you can update these changes in presentations.
When you set properties of a DataPilot table, you can select to preserve formatting for Field and Data areas. Then after you save and reopen the files, the formatting of these areas is not lost.
In additional to available chart types, you can select a new chart type Bubble, and for Net chart type, you have one more option to choose.
When you edit chart data, you can insert more categories to be used as hierarchical labels in the Data Table window.
For the chart created from a cell range in a spreadsheet, you can specify to show values of currently hidden cells within the source cell range.
You can set the text orientation for the data labels. A positive number rotates the text to the left and a negative number rotates the text to the right.
