Have I shared recently (or ever) how much Microsoft Office Publisher irritates me? First there’s the file size of the end resulting file itself. Those suckers are massive. I used to get the files regularly from web clients and their questions would be:
Can you open a Publisher file?
How can I e-mail this to you?
When […]

Would some of the folks clamoring for Microsoft to release a completely Web-based version of its Office suite be just as happy if Microsoft released a stripped-down Office that was really cheap, or maybe even free and advertising-supported?
That’s the intro of a recent article by Mary Jo Foley. Seems to be a pretty logical and […]

I’m still getting failed updates for these two items. Anyone got any new suggestions for how to get these successfully installed yet?
I’ve turned off my anti-virus, Windows Live OneCare. I’ve turned everything else off I can think of and I still can’t get these two updates to complete successfully.
Maybe I’m too anal about this […]

Maybe I’m just missing something but news about the functionality of Office 14 is coming out and aren’t we still on Office 12? See, one of the first blogs I wrote for b5media was called Office 12 Watch and it was all about Office 2007 before it was released and named Office 2007. Now we’re […]

The question was presented to me by my channel editor at b5 for an upcoming theme across the channel.
My immediate thought was that I couldn’t live without Windows Live Writer now. I’ve become so used to the application that my productivity around blogging and expressing my thoughts and creativity are enmeshed through-out the app. As […]

Microsoft seems to be doing some kind of magic right as their second quarter earnings for fiscal 2008 were “outstanding” according to CFO Chris Lidell.
I wouldn’t have expected “outstanding” or maybe even good results from Microsoft after all the complaining and noise that’s been going on with people’s opinions of Vista, Office 2007, and their […]

I’ve set Microsoft Word 2007 to ignore words in UPPERCASE, but when I type “HSA” as in Healthcare Savings Account, it keeps telling me I’ve spelled “has” wrong.
What else do I need to do to stop telling it to ignore words in UPPERCASE or specifically “HSA”. I don’t want it to ignore me if […]

It’s been over a decade since I’ve been in college but if I remember correctly, money was usually a hard thing to come by when I was there.
I didn’t have a computer when I was in college, my-oh-my how my life would have been different, but if I did, this would have been a […]

Still working on my update problem.
I just followed the instructions suggested by Microsoft, which was to make sure Windows Installation 3.1 was installed. Did that. Re-ran update.
Still no success.
Arrgggghhh!
If anyone has any ideas or suggestions, please feel free to share.

I’ve been trying to get this update installed now for a couple of weeks. It just won’t take.
I’ve been reading about this specific update on the Microsoft Help and Support website to try and figure out what seems to be the problem. The text of the information tab within the update history says:
Service Pack […]
