Calendar Printing Assistant- September 28, 2006 Picked this up from Outlook Tips today: The Calendar Printing Assistant for Outlook 2007 allows you to print and customize your Outlook 2007 calendar information. It includes many often-requested printing options, including multiple calendars in one view and customizations such as fonts, colors and images. It includes ready to use templates. Download it from http:www.microsoft.comofficepreviewprogramsoutlookcpa.mspx This utility is for Outlook 2007 only. Looks pretty nifty if you ask me. I...http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/calendar-printing-assistant.html Daily Journal for OneNote in 2007- September 22, 2006 Thanks to this post, I have found out how to get this Powertoy to work with the OneNote 2007 beta. Gee after all that time and effort I put into it before, it figures that there was a simple work-around the whole time. :) tags: OneNote2007, DailyJournal, Powertoyhttp://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/daily-journal-for-onenote-in-2007.html Subscribed- September 19, 2006 To the brand new MS Office Word team's blog. Looks like there will be lots of good Word 2007 information floating around there. tags: Word2007http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/subscribed.html Windows Desktop Search- September 17, 2006 I decided to download WDS along with the technical refresh on the recommendation of Chris Pratley, who says they've fixed many of the problems with it that I had been plagued with. We'll see how it goes. tags: WindowsDesktopSearchhttp://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/windows-desktop-search.html Technical Refresh- September 16, 2006 I was able to get all the technical refreshing done today. Not too shabby a process. The immediate thing you notice is that the interface has been prettied up quite a bit. New icons, new splash screens, the ribbons' been tweaked a little bit, etc. It looks really nice, but let's face it, we don't use Office for the eye candy, the real test is how it helps you get things accomplished. On that front, a couple of things I noticed quickly and loved, I can copypaste from the attachment preview in...http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/technical-refresh.html Live Documents- September 13, 2006 It looks like Microsoft is getting in on the on-line collaboration game with Live Documents, an add-in for Office 2000XP2003 that allows people to synchronize documents across several users and machines on the Internet. This is a service that certainly bears watching. tags: LiveDocuments, Officehttp://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/live-documents.html No more Windows Desktop Search 3.0- September 8, 2006 Yes, I can attest to exactly the sort of performance hits Marc Orchant talked about a while back. The search indexer would tie up a bunch of RAM even when there was nothing new to index, occasionally my laptop would simply stop responding for a good couple of minutes. It would start, and show the desktop but nothing would open, not even the task manager. Then, suddenly, it would all open like nothing happened. As much as I wanted to check out the advanced search capabilities of Outlook and...http://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/no-more-windows-desktop-search-30.html Chris Pirillo on Outlook 2007- September 6, 2006 The interesting thing about this post from Chris is that he has steered clear of Outlook 2002 and 2003 because they were too slow, but he sees a speed increase in 2007. I haven't seen the same thing. Of course, I'm using it on a laptop, so my performance may not be your performance. tags: Outlook2007, ChrisPirillohttp://www.mikemcbrideonline.com/officebeta/2006/09/chris-pirillo-on-outlook-2007.html |
