I was reminded today of a real annoyance of mine when I’m trying to work with Outlook. Somewhat frequently in my week I receive an e-mail with a graphic or image in it that I need to do some editing. It’s not really any serious editing that needs to be done, just a notation […]
Catching up on some past e-mails and came across this little article about “Eight Handy Tools in Microsoft Word You Probably Don’t Know About” on PC Magazine’s website.
Given that Word and Excel are probably the two top applications that are used by the widest group of people from business information specialists to students; getting tips […]
The b5 Tech Channel is having a little them post series and I thought of something that might be pretty interesting to share with everyone and we’ll get some responses back in the comments as well.
What’s in your Start Menu?
You’ve got the ability to pin a program you use frequently to your Start Menu […]
Has anyone else been hearing information about a new product entering beta (or is it alpha) testing?
A recent article by Mary Jo Foley shared a few different options of what it could be:
the latest version of Microsoft Works that may or may not be advertisement funded
a new package of “Authoring” components that would include Word, […]
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:

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.
