I personally am loving the new Office 2007. I’ve been using it since way back in the early beta days and I think it’s great. There’s still stuff I can’t find, but it’s no more than the stuff I couldn’t find or rarely used in the earlier versions. My boss and brother on the […]

David Berlind reports that Microsoft quickly followed up IBM’s announcement with alerts to various news outlets to give them a chance to hear Microsoft’s version of the […]

Here’s another burr in my saddle today.
Whenever I try to paste something into Word 2007, I get this little image. It doesn’t matter if I’m pasting text (which is what I’m trying to do in this example) or a photo/image. I get this little icon.
I figured it out once what was going on and […]

Why in the world, after all these years on the Internet doesn’t Microsoft Outlook have a field for a personal website address and a business website address?
I know I can add my own custom field, but that seems like a pain in the neck for what I would think is a very common piece of […]

An article by Dana Blankenhorn on ZDNet.com has an interesting question she’s posing. At least I think this is a question she’s posing. Her article actually states that Microsoft should be afraid of open-source software, but I’m not sure that’s actually the case.
What they may need to be concerned with is a change in the […]

I could never remember to change my file format when I saved a document to the normal .doc […]

I keep getting this error when I try to open a document in Excel 2007. Anyone else getting it? I’m researching Google now. Just thought I’d ask.

UPDATE: Looks like I missed the boat on this one. The deadline for this was back at the end of June. I need to update my e-mail address for some of my Microsoft newsletters to Gmail. Is that ironic?
Do you really know what you’re doing with Office? Are you the one everyone comes to […]

How many of you out there don’t think you need the full-blown features of Microsoft Word and just need a simple text editor. Do you use WordPad? Do you have a bunch of old WordPad files that you can’t open now on your computer. The converters aren’t available by default on your initial installation.
There’s […]

How many addresses do you have in your auto-complete history? How many of those are for people you e-mail regularly but aren’t added into your address book? If you wanted to send an e-mail to everyone you e-mail regularly, in and out of your address book, how would you do it?
If you didn’t know, and […]
