- Mail merge features that simplify the process of customizing and sending out bulk communications, such as newsletters and invitations.
- Direct sharing options, enabling users to easily share their creations via email or by printing them directly from the application.
- Compatibility with other Microsoft Office Suite products, facilitating a seamless workflow between applications such as Word and Excel.
