Microsoft Map 97

• Microsoft Map 97 is a tool that allows the user
  to analyze data that have a geographic component.
  Maps allow the user to comprehend the meaning of
  large amounts of data. Trends and relationships
  that may not be apparent in purely numeric data
  can often be seen when the data are placed into a
  map. Microsoft Map 97 is free with Microsoft
  Windows/Microsoft Excel. Help for Microsoft Map
  97 is available in the help areas on your
  computer and on the WWW. Help for the newly
  released (and very powerful) Microsoft MapPoint
  2001 (which is sold as a separate software
  package) is available with the software and on
  the WWW.

Summary Of Microsoft Map 97

• Microsoft Map 97 is a tool that allows the user
  to analyze data that have a geographic component.
  Microsoft Map 97 has several major limitations,
  though. It does not allow more than 16 different
  colors, although Value Shading maps show
  various shades of a color. It does not have
  separate maps for Asia or for most of Africa.
  When a map is revised it sometimes loses data
  this can be a major problem and is something the
  user needs to check during revisions and when
  copying a map. Microsoft has released Microsoft
  MapPoint 2001, a truly awesome mapping and
  geographic information system (GIS) package, as
  part of their Microsoft Office Suite of
  productivity software. However, where Microsoft
  Map 97 is free with Microsoft Windows/Microsoft
  Excel, Microsoft MapPoint 2001 is sold as a
  separate software package. A free 60-day trial
  version of Microsoft MapPoint 2001 is available
  from Microsoft.
