Unexpected Errors

I’ve been using Office 2007 now for quite awhile. I’ve got to say I’m very pleased with every application I work with. There are some random things that have irritated me about some things, but nothing much different from things that bother me with final and existing versions of software that I use.
In my professional […]

Microsoft Office Apps Lite

As I was writing my last post about my experiences with Google Spreadsheets, I began thinking of some options for other solutions. If Microsoft wanted to shore-up some market share and make sure that webtop apps didn’t cut too much into their core business of packaged software delivery, they could offer a free, but stripped-down […]

Google Spreadsheets Update

I’ve been actively using Google Spreadsheets now for a couple of weeks. Working on a project with someone where we needed to both have access to a spreadsheet of names. I didn’t want us to keep e-mailing the document back and forth and trying to figure out which one was the most updated.
The problem though […]

gOFFICE - And it’s not Google

 
gOFFICE is another web office application. Interestingly though, it’s not Google’s version of the office suite. The person that grabbed up that domain real quick was pretty smart I must say. I think they’ve got a little advertising conflict in that the page URL header states “gOFFICE.com Free Web Office Suite home page” but it actually […]

Excel in Gmail via Google Spreadsheets

Did you notice it? That new little link in the footer of your Gmail message? You’ll only see it if you’ve got an Excel spreadsheet attached. There’s a quick link to open the document in Google Spreadsheets instead of just downloading it and opening it with Excel.
I just had a thought that I wonder if […]

Running Office 2007 Full-time

Yesterday evening I installed the full Office 2007 beta on my work laptop. This is a big step, but I figure it’s a good one to really pound out and test Office 2007 in the real world for me. I also figured it would help me get some more information and posts to get included […]

Mac Reminds Us They Do Office

The latest Mac ads have a little bit of a focus on Mac being able to run Microsoft Office. These ads are a brilliant piece of marketing in my opinion. I think they do an excellent job of at least causing people to think about switching if they’re currently a PC user.
What about you? Have […]

Google Office is Live

Looks like Google hasn’t just been focusing on their YouTube purchase and nothing else. The pseudo-tagged “Google Office” is now available at http://docs.google.com.
Google Office isn’t quite accurate though, the name on the site itself is Google Docs & Spreadsheet. Pretty boring don’t you think? And too long! I doubt they could have really gotten away […]
