DESCRIPTION

Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Standard 2004 includes more than 41,000 articles in the database, with over 19,500 accompanying photos and illustrations. Encarta users can also access current event articles and database updates by accessing the Encarta website, which includes a quiz section that is frequently updated on various subjects. The entire database is indexed by both topic and keyword, and fully searchable.

A large database featuring languages of the world contains several sample voice clips from native speakers of each language, and interactive presentations are available concerning specific subjects such as probability and art. Rounding out the package are virtual tours with panoramic views of selected famous locations throughout the world.

Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Standard 2004 is the budget version of the 2004 Microsoft line of Encarta CD software. While all three versions include the same encyclopedia functionality, Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Deluxe 2004 and Microsoft Encarta Encyclopedia Library 2004 contain extra features. ~ Kyle Knight, All Game Guide
