15. Insert graphics in headers and footers -- New in Excel XP,
there's an option to insert a graphic into a header or footer.
UI: File, Page Setup, Header/Footer, Custom Header (or Custom
Footer), then click the Picture button (second button from the
right), and this displays the common Insert Picture dialog.

16. Speech recognition -- I am fortunate to not have a repetitive
motion injury, and I'm a fast, accurate typist. So I myself am
not very motivated by this aspect of Office XP. Bottom line: I
haven't tested it. Your mileage may vary. If you're going to use
it, Microsoft recommends a high quality headset mike with gain
adjustment, and Excel won't let you install it unless you've got
a 400MHz or faster processor and at least 128MB of RAM.
