Microsoft Office for Windows 95 was the version of Microsoft Office designed specifically for Windows 95, succeeding Office 4.3. Previously, Microsoft had released Office 4.2 for Windows NT for several architectures, which included 32-bit Word 6.0 for Windows NT and Excel 5.0 for Windows NT , however PowerPoint 4.0 was 16-bit. With Office for Windows 95, all components in the suite were 32-bit. All the Office 95 applications have OLE 2 capacity - moving data automatically from various programs. Office 95 was replaced by Office 97.

Office 95 was available in two versions. They contained the following applications:

Office for Windows 95 is named version 7.0 to match Word's version number. The standard version consisted of Word 7.0, Excel 7.0, PowerPoint 7.0, and Schedule+ 7.0. The professional edition contained all of the items in the standard version plus Access 7.0. If the professional version was purchased in CD-ROM form, it also included Bookshelf 95.

The application versions also skipped some numbers in order to show that they were contemporary. The previous Word 6.0 had the highest number, so 7.0 were chosen for all of them. Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0, Schedule+ 1.0 and Access 2.0 were the predecessors to Office 95's applications. Microsoft Outlook was not included yet and used to be bundled with Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5.
