As with my Windows Server 2003 Editions comparison, Microsoft also has its own table comparing the various Office 2003 editions, but that version is incomplete, hard to read, and poorly organized.

New features in Office 2003 include information rights management; new collaboration features; improved support for SharePoint, smart tags, and XML; and extended use of Office Online services.^[11] Office 2003 introduces two new programs to the Office product lineup: InfoPath, a program for designing, filling, and submitting electronic structured data forms; and OneNote, a note-taking program for creating and organizing diagrams, graphics, handwritten notes, recorded audio, and text.^[12] It also introduces the Picture Managergraphics software to open, manage, and share digital images.^[11]

With the release of Office 2003, Microsoft rebranded the Office productivity suite as an integrated system dedicated to information workers. As a result, Microsoft appended the 'Office' branding to the names of all programs.^[13] Office 2003 is also the first version with support for Windows XP colors and visual styles,^[14] and introduces updated icons.^[13]

Office 2003 is the last version of Office to include the menu bar and toolbars across all programs,^[15] as well as the last version to include the '97 - 2003' file format as the default file format.^[16] It is compatible with Windows 2000 SP3 and later, but not with Windows NT 4.0, Windows 98, or Windows Me.^[4] It is not supported on Windows 8,^[6]Windows Server 2012,^[7] or later versions of Windows.^[5][8] It is the last version of Office compatible with Windows 2000, since Office 2007 requires Windows XP SP2 or a later version of Windows.^[17]

Office 2003 was the last version of Microsoft Office to include fully customizable toolbars and menus for all of its applications, the Office Assistant, the ability to slipstream service packs into the original setup files, Office Web Components, and the Save My Settings Wizard, which allowed users to choose whether to keep a locally cached copy of installation source files and several utility resource kit tools. It was also the last Office version to support Windows 2000. A new picture organizer with basic editing features, called Microsoft Office Picture Manager, was included.

Only basic clipart and templates were included on the disc media, with most content hosted online and downloadable from within the Office application. Microsoft advertised Office Online as a major Office 2003 feature 'outside the box'.^[24] Office Online provides how-to articles, tips, training courses, templates, clip art, stock photos and media and downloads (including Microsoft and third-party extensibility add-ins for Microsoft Office programs).
