Don’t forget your PDF

If you’re running Office 2007, don’t forget to install the Save As PDF or XPS add-on. The fact that Microsoft couldn’t include this in the full software off the disc is annoying. Not sure what the separate download actually accomplishes.

Blogging with Word 2007

After reading a recent post from Robert Scoble sharing his opinion of how Jon Udell talking about blogging within Word 2007 wasn’t very useful, I remembered that I hadn’t tried the blogging function from within Word since installing the final release of the Office software.
If you ever downloaded and installed Windows Live Writer, you’ll notice […]

Synchronized Offline PST Files

You know what I think would be great? Being able to access my complete Outlook Inbox mail, settings, preferences and folders from any internet connection where I’ve got access to Outlook. That’s not just it though, I want Outlook to run as normal when I’m sitting in front of my own computer working as well.
I’d […]

Microsoft On the Lunch Buffet

Scoble has a post about a new Office 2.0 conference coming up that Microsoft is actually a sponsor of the organization in charge of the conference.
The post doesn’t share much information other than 26 other companies are participating and that all of them are obviously out to take a bite out of Microsoft’s marketshare in the office app domain.
These […]

My Beta Expired

No fun this morning for me. In the first day in almost a full week I’ve actually been able to get out of bed, I turn on my computers and my beta software for Office 2007 Professional has expired. No warning either, just BAM! limited functionality. So, I’m uninstalling the beta and looking at options […]
