Boston.com takes a look at Office 2003. <A HREF="http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2003/10/16/review_microsoft_office_does_e_mail_well/">Outlook got most of the improvements</A> in this new version. The new Word packs a few noteworthy features, including something called Reading Layout View that's easier on the eyes. But not much. Excel is little changed, as is PowerPoint. Office 2003 goes on sale to the public October 21.
