Windows Draw 6 Compatibility with Microsoft Office

Micrografx Windows Draw 6 is a Microsoft Office Compatible product, which means that its toolbars, menus, and shortcut keys are similar to those used by Microsoft Office. If you are already using Microsoft Office, which includes Microsoft Excel, Word, Microsoft Access and PowerPoint, then many of the tasks you learned to complete in Office can be completed in a similar manner in Windows Draw. Micrografx and Microsoft hope these similarities will make it easier for you to use our products together and with other Microsoft Office Compatible products.

Look for the Microsoft Office Compatible logo when purchasing software. For more information about the Microsoft Office Compatible program, and for a complete listing of Microsoft Office Compatible products, in the United States call Microsoft Customer Service at 1-800-426-9400.
