Errors From Microsoft Office 2010 Install

It did not take long after the Office 2010 deployment to receive the first reported error. Although the deployment has been fine on 99% of the installs, during one of them the Windows Installer Service decided to take the day off. It gave this error:

Error 1719: Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.

Normally, this wouldn’t be too terrible, you just start the installation process over again. The problem was that Microsoft Office 2010 thought it had been fully installed but it actually hadn’t trying to launch an executable would result in a long string of errors. The first one was this:

Microsoft Word requires the file msointl.dll to run. Run setup again to assure proper installation.

Well, troubleshooting 101 tells us to follow the error’s advice and uninstall and reinstall the software. Of course, that can’t be pain free, so upon trying to uninstall the program through Add/Remove Programs or run the setup again, we receive this error:

The language of this installation package is not supported by your system

So the software isn’t installed enough to operate correctly but it’s too installed to be able to reinstall the software. Great…

Fortunately, there is a Microsoft Fix it for this issue with the Office 2003, Office 2007, and Office 2010 suites. Just download the Fix It file, which comes as a .msi, and run through it. This will go through the uninstallation process and get us out of this situation.

After I ran this Microsoft Fix it on the computer, all traces of Office 2010 were completely removed. I then ran through the deployment process again and this time it completed without any issue. I was happy to find the Microsoft Fix It solution since I felt trapped between a rock and a hard place by not being able to uninstall the corrupted Office installation.

installing and upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010.

2012-01-28T08:29:00.000-08:00

I got the invitation for the Technical Preview of next Office from Microsoft, Office 2010. The new Office as usual comes in both 32 bit and 64 bit versions. And the best of all it can be easily upgraded from Office 2007 to Office 2010.

But when you upgrade just make sure you use the same versions that you have been previously using as in bit wise. If you are trying to install 64-bit version of Office 2010 while you have 32-bit version of Office 2007, then you would have a warning message like this.

If you want to install 64-bit Office 2010, you must uninstall all 32-bit Office products first, and then run setup.exe in the x64 folder. If you want to install 32-bit Office 2010, close this setup. Then navigate to the x86 folder at the root of your CD/DVD and run setup.exe.

In short, you can upgrade from 32-bit Office 2007 to 32-bit Office 2010 and the same with 64-bit but not interchangeably.

Here are the screenshots flow of the installing and upgrading from Office 2007 to Office 2010.

Accept the license.

Enter the product key.

If you want to upgrade from previous versions click Upgrade or else use Customize.

Shows the flow of upgrade and installation of Office 2010.

Initial opening screen for the new Office applications, this is for Outlook 2010.

I am loving Office 2010 so far and soon we’ll be discussing and writing about new and exciting features in Office 2010 applications.

How to convert equations from Openoffice to MS-Word

2012-01-18T16:00:00.000-08:00

1. First, convert your OO document to MSWord (in OO, don't forget to check that in the menu Tools/Options/Load Save/Microsoft Office, the Mathtype options are both checked)

2. Then open your document into MS-Word and apply one of the macros given below

3. Equations should be well converted and you can edit them with Mathtype or Equation Editor. However, if you changed the default equations fonts, greek letters may be not displayed correctly inside the Mathtype editor. But this is not a problem since they appear correctly in the document.

Please tell me if this solution worked for you!
Best regards,
Roland

Here are the macros.

If you have Mathtype, use the following macros :

Sub OOEquationConvertDocument()
'
' Convert all equations of the document
'
For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
If iShape.Type = wdInlineShapeEmbeddedOLEObject Then
'MsgBox (iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType)
If iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType = "Microsoft" Then
iShape.OLEFormat.ConvertTo ClassType:="Equation.DSMT4", DisplayAsIcon:=False
End If
End If
Next iShape
End Sub
Sub OOEquationConvertSelection()
'
' Convert all equations of the current selection
' Caution! Doesn't work (why?) if the entire document is selected
'
For Each iShape In Selection.InlineShapes
If iShape.Type = wdInlineShapeEmbeddedOLEObject Then
'MsgBox (iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType)
If iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType = "Microsoft" Then
iShape.OLEFormat.ConvertTo ClassType:="Equation.DSMT4", DisplayAsIcon:=False
End If
End If
Next iShape
End Sub

If you don't have Mathtype (then you should have Equation Editor), use the following macros :

Sub OOEquationConvertDocument()
'
' Convert all equations of the document
'
For Each iShape In ActiveDocument.InlineShapes
If iShape.Type = wdInlineShapeEmbeddedOLEObject Then
'MsgBox (iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType)
If iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType = "Microsoft" Then
iShape.OLEFormat.ConvertTo ClassType:="Equation.3", DisplayAsIcon:=False
End If
End If
Next iShape
End Sub
Sub OOEquationConvertSelection()
'
' Convert all equations of the current selection
' Caution! Doesn't work (why?) if the entire document is selected
'
For Each iShape In Selection.InlineShapes
If iShape.Type = wdInlineShapeEmbeddedOLEObject Then
'MsgBox (iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType)
If iShape.OLEFormat.ClassType = "Microsoft" Then
iShape.OLEFormat.ConvertTo ClassType:="Equation.3", DisplayAsIcon:=False
End If
End If
Next iShape
End Sub

How to import documents to Pages on your iPad

2012-01-18T15:55:00.000-08:00

how to import documents from your Mac or PC to Pages for the iPad.

Creating a new document in Pages for the iPad is easy enough – but what if you want to work on an existing document that you created on your Mac or PC? Using iTunes you can quickly import (copy) it to Pages for the iPad.

1- First things first – make sure your iPad is connected to your Mac or PC and then select it in iTunes.

2- Now select the Apps tab from the top.

3-Scroll down to the File Sharing section. From the Apps list in the File Sharing section, select Pages. In the Pages Documents section you’ll now see a list of all the documents that Pages for the iPad currently has “saved”. By default, you should see one document – Getting Started.doc. This is the document that Pages for the iPad comes with.
To upload a file to your iPad so you can edit it with Pages, click the Add… button.

4-Navigate to the document you wanted to transfer to your iPad, select it and click the Choose button. Note: Pages for the iPad currently allows you to edit Pages ’09 for Mac documents, Microsoft Word – Office Open XML and Office 97 (or later) documents.

5-Now the document you selected will be listed in the Pages Documents column.

6-To export, or download documents from your iPad to your Mac or PC – select the file from the Pages Documents column and click the Save to… button.

7-Navigate to the folder you want to save it in and click the Choose button.

8-That file will now be in the folder you opted to save it in. That’s it!

Using the Word Completion feature of OpenOffice.org

2012-01-18T15:51:00.000-08:00

how to save documents that you have created in Apple’s Pages application as Microsoft Word (.doc) files

1-Word Completion, which is enabled by default, allows you to hit one key to complete a word (rather than type the entire thing out).

2-To access the Word Completion settings, click Tools and then AutoCorrect….

3-Select the Word Completion tab.

4-From here you can disable Word Completion entirely if it’s a feature that gets in your way more than it helps. To do so, just remove the check from the Enable word completion box and click OK

5-Another default is that Word Completion won’t “work” unless the word to be completed is 10 characters or longer. If you are a fan of Word Completion, you may want to lower the number of characters required in a word before OpenOffice.org offers to complete it. To do so, just choose the number of characters from the Min. word length drop-down list.

6-Another helpful feature to save on keystrokes is to have OpenOffice append a ’space’ each time you use Word Completion. To enable this feature, just place a check in the box labeled Append space.

Add Artistic Effects to Your Pictures in Office 2010

2012-01-13T06:12:00.000-08:00

Do you ever wish you could add cool effects to images in your Office document pictures, but don’t have access to a graphics editor? Today we take a look at the Artistic Effects featire which is a new feature in Office 2010.

Note: We will show you examples in Excel, but the Artistic Effect are available in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

To insert a picture into your Office document, click the Picture button on the Insert tab.

Once you import your picture, the Picture Tools format ribbon should be active. If not, click on the image.

In the Adjust group, click on Artistic Effects. You will see a selection of effects previews images in the dropdown list.

Hover your cursor over the effects to use Live Preview to see what your picture will look like if that effect is applied.

When you find an effect you like, just click to apply it to the image.

There are also some additional Artistic Effect Options.

Each effect will have a it’s own set of available options that can be adjusted by moving the sliders left or right.

If you find you want to undo an effect after it has been applied, simply select the None option from the previews under Artistic Effects.

Conclusion

Artistic Effects provides a really easy way to add professional looking effects to images in Office 2010 without the need to access graphics editing software.

Office 2003 Menus Back to Ms office 2010

2012-01-13T05:51:00.000-08:00

Are you having trouble getting used to the Ribbon interface in Office 2010? Here’s how you can roll back the clock a bit and bring back the familiar menus and toolbars from 2003.

The Office 2007 Ribbon was both praised and criticized. While many users felt they were more productive with the new interface, others felt frustrated searching for commands they had memorized in older versions of Office. Now, with Office 2010, the ribbon interface has been brought to every app in the Office suite, and is integrated into many newer programs from Microsoft.

If you’re moving from Office 2003, using UBitMenu allows you to add the old familiar menus back along with the new Ribbon interface for an easier learning curve. Also, with the customizability of Office 2010, we can strip away the extra Ribbon tabs to make it more like 2003.

Get the 2003 Menus and Toolbars Back in Office 2010

Download UBitMenu (link below), and install as normal. Make sure all of your Office programs are closed during the installation. This handy utility is very small, and installed amazingly quick.

Open Word, Excel, or PowerPoint and there’s now a new Menu tab beside Home in the Ribbon. Now you can access all of your favorite old Office commands in the familiar menus, and access many of the newer Office features such as SmartArt.

Here’s a close-up of the toolbar. Notice that the layout is very similar to that of Word 2003.

You can access all of the new Transitions in PowerPoint 2010 from the menu bar.

The menu in Excel even included support for the new PivotTable and PivotCharts Wizard.

One problem we noticed was that the toolbars were condensed to a drop-down menu if the Office window was less than 870px wide. This may be a frustration to users with low-resolution displays, and you might want to use the Office Apps maximized.

Get Rid of the Ribbon

Now that you’ve got the old menus back, you can get rid of the extra ribbon tabs if you’d like. Office 2010 lets you customize your ribbon and remove tabs, so let’s get rid of all the other tabs except for our new Menu tab.

In our example we’re using Word, but you can do it in Excel or PowerPoint the same way. Click the File tab and select Options.

Alternately, in the Menu tab, select Tools and then Word Options.

Select Customize Ribbon on the left sidebar, then uncheck the boxes beside all the ribbon tabs you want to hide on the right. Click Ok when you’re finished.

While you’re at it, you can change the default color scheme as well.

Note: The color change will automatically change the color scheme in all of the Office apps, so you’ll only need to do that once.

Now the ribbon only has 2 tabs…the File tab for the new Backstage View, and the UBitMenu tab we just installed. It almost has the appearance Word 2003, but with the new features of Word 2010! You’ll need to repeat these steps in Excel and PowerPoint if you want to customize their ribbon the same.

Conclusion

If you’ve been having a hard time getting used to Office 2010, UBitMenu is a great way to get familiar with the new interface, or simply stay productive with your old tricks. We do wish it supported the other Office applications like OneNote and Outlook. That doesn’t make it a deal breaker though, it can make the learning curve easier in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.

Offers 2010 Free Starter Edition for PC’s or Portable USB Key Installations

2012-01-10T08:49:00.000-08:00

Lots of great alternatives to Microsoft’s deluxe office suite have emerged over the past few years, but if you find yourself only occasionally in need of a tool to edit Word or Excel files, the hefty $159 price tag for the full home and student edition can be a bit hard to justify. Google Docs or even Microsoft’s own online versions of office can help in a pinch, but nothing quite matches the native experience you get from running the desktop app. If the above scenario describes you, click here to download a copy of Office 2010 Starter Edition for absolutely free.

Aside from its ability to run offline, Office 2010 Starter isn’t any better than the free web-based offering Microsoft launched earlier in the year.. It includes little more than a stripped down version of Word / Excel 2010, but operates almost the same as the full editions. It does however open all modern office document formats offline, and offers up just about every tool a non-enterprise user needs.

It isn’t known if this direct download link will stick around for long, so if you find yourself interested, I’d grab it ASAP. Apparently this version can also be installed to a USB key, making it an incredible portable option that can be moved from PC to PC. Just launch the Office Starter To-Go Device Manager from All Programs -> Microsoft Office Starter. The files take up about 400MB of space, but will give you all of the offline power of Word and Excel wherever you need it.

It would be great to see Microsoft keep this free version of Office around for users who might otherwise opt for the online editions, but only time will tell if that was the intent. Either way I’d jump on it now before they change their mind.

SharePoint Third Party Products to Watch in 2012

2012-01-10T08:45:00.000-08:00

Arguably one of the reasons for SharePoint's success over the last few years is the ecosystem of third party products and developers that help to support it. Generally speaking, if you want to add to or expand the standard SharePoint feature set, there is a product or plugin that fits the bill. Visual workflow design, list and document level backup and a hundred weather webparts — all can be readily and easily added to your SharePoint environment.

But who will be setting the pace in the new year, and what software is worth keeping an eye on? Let’s review some of the most interesting third party products on the market for SharePoint right now.

Nintex Live
The Australian-based Nintex has built a solid reputation over the last few years with a number of excellent SharePoint products, not least its "Workflow" visual designer tool. Nintex Workflow has found real favor in the SharePoint community by allowing power users to build some quite complex functionality, all running on top of the out of the box workflow engine.

Nintex hasn’t rested on its laurels, and late last year launched their "Live" product. Essentially an extension to the standard Workflow tool, Live allows workflows to connect to a multitude of cloud-based services. Prebuilt components exist to allow workflows to connect to Twitter, Facebook, Google and Bing. More importantly, Live allows workflows to be connected to Office365 and SharePoint Online. In essence this allows SharePoint "on-premise" to be connect to SharePoint Online.

The product is still in its early days, but 2012 will surely be the year that Office365 really starts to find some traction in the enterprise market. Likely SharePoint installations will become fragmented between traditional on-premise solutions and those in the cloud. Nintex Live might just find itself perfectly positioned to bridge the gap between the two.

In addition, it is natural that clients will want to start connecting their SharePoint systems wherever they are held to more and more cloud services. Nintex Live provides an easy way to achieve this, using the visual "non-code" tools users are already used to.

The future looks bright for this product in 2012 and it will be very interesting to see the direction that subsequent versions take.

Quest Migration Suite
Anyone who has worked on website or intranet projects will know that data migration is always much more complicated than it first appears. The seemingly simple act of moving existing data from one system to another can quickly get very complicated. SharePoint is no different, and indeed manipulating sites, lists, metadata and permissions can often add another layer of consideration to the work.

There are a couple of tools on the market designed to help with this problem. The one that currently stands out is the "Quest Migration Suite." Previously a set of separate products, they are now merged into a single holistic application.

Quest has focused on two key areas with this new release — allowing users to quickly install the tool and then allowing them to perform actual migrations with minimum effort. This speed of operation and ease of use is refreshing to see, when other similar tools often overcomplicate things.

Data can be migrated from SharePoint 2003 or 2007 to 2007, 2010 or SharePoint Online (part of Office365). Entire site collections can be moved, as can single sites, lists or webparts. The suite also includes dedicated tools to move Windows fileshares to any SharePoint flavor, as well as exchange public folders. In both instances, available metadata can be maintained, which is often an area that makes data migration tricky to do properly.

Quest Migration Suite is by no means the only migration on the market for SharePoint — far from it. But its focus on users, and dedication to simplicity and speed makes it stand out from the crowd.

The Colligo Suite
Colligo Networks has long been the darling of the SharePoint third party community, largely as a result of its contributor line of applications. The range provides offline access to SharePoint content, deep integration with Outlook and strong metadata functionality. There are currently a number of products offered, including a free version, a professional paid version and a dedicated add-in for Outlook.

A Quick Guide for Microsoft Office 2010 Installation

2012-01-09T13:31:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Office 2010 requires no upgradation and makes the user comfortable with their work. The main system requirements are 1.5 GB hard disk space, operating systems-windows vista, windows 7, windows server 2008 R2(64 bit), and windows XP(32 bit). It requires a graphic processor with 64 MB of memory and supports DirectX 9.0c.

There are many new features available in Office 2010 that brings a lot of change to your working lifestyle. Now you can publish your document as an article or blog because there are settings available for Blogger, TypePad, Word Press, Live space etc. PowerPoint provides the option of saving the documents on a CD or save a video presentation. PowerPoint also provides the facility of video editing with the effects of 3D, reflection, frame, shadow etc. So it will be very beneficial working in such an environment where you will get so many newly added tools without doing any configuration of your system.

If you want to work both in Office 2007 and Office 2010 then it requires installation of Office 2010 in different directory or folder to prevent overwriting of files of Office 2007. When you start the setup a blue screen comes on the screen asking for the preferred installation you want. If you want to run both versions of Office then choose 'customize' option, otherwise use 'upgrade' option. If you choose the 'customize' option then in the next screen it will be asked to provide another installation path for Office 2010. Select the path according to your choice and installation starts. There is another option for keeping both the versions together. You have to download a window installer patch setup customization file. This file has already been configured to keep and retain old office applications. All you have to do is to download the config.MSP file and copy it to the folder containing setup.exe and other installation files for Office 2010. After that you have to run a command 'SETUP/adminfile config.MSP' and you will have both the versions working together.

It must be noticed that although you can use both the versions of Office but the default program for presentations, spreadsheets will be Ms Office 2010 so you have to change manually by going to control panel if you wants opening of documents with Office 2007. Also, Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 cannot co exist at the same time because only version of Outlook works at any time so you have to work on Outlook 2010.

Purchase Microsoft Office 2010 cheap

2012-01-03T04:40:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Office is not just the market leader, it's the one product that nearly every user has on their PC. Not content with that situation, however, Microsoft continues to develop the product, with MS Office 2010 the latest implementation of its number one desktop best seller.

It's being updated furiously, but Microsoft's once-irreplaceable program now has some viable rivals from the likes of Google Docs, OpenOffice and Zoho. Is it still and essential program for office workers, or an over bloated dinosaur not worth the return on investment?

It seems a little disingenuous to try and explain what Office 2010 is all about, largely because anyone who's ever used a PC will have come across it at some time or other.

That said it's worth just re-capping on what the Microsoft suite contains.

A number of editions of Office are available, made up of different components but with Word for word processing and Excel for spreadsheets in every one. Some will then also include PowerPoint for presentations, Publisher for desktop publishing and Access to build and run databases. Outlook, Microsoft's popular e-mail and collaboration client is included in the business packages and, as of this release, OneNote, a kind of electronic notebook, is another common component.

Because it provides the most basic and widely used of desktop applications, the Office suite is used by everyone from students and home users up to large enterprise corporations. Of course there are alternatives, including open source OpenOffice.org (available for free), but the Microsoft product is very much the market leader and most commercial rivals have long since fallen by the wayside.

It's worth noting that this new implementation isn't as radical an update as the previous Office 2007 version.

Yes there are lots of new features and functionality but as far as the user interface and basic ways of working are concerned it remains much the same, albeit with a number of tweaks to make the component apps easier to use. In particular the ribbon interface introduced in Office 2007 is now much more consistent and can It's worth noting that this new implementation isn't as radical an update as the previous Office 2007 version. Yes there are lots of new features and functionality but as far as the user interface and basic ways of working are concerned it remains much the same, albeit with a number of tweaks to make the component apps easier to use. In particular the ribbon interface introduced in Office 2007 is now much more consistent and can also be customised to make commonly used tools more readily accessible.

There's also a new Backstage view, implemented in all the apps and accessed by clicking the tab marked ‘file'. This gathers together a variety of management options to, for example save, print and share documents, options previously scattered across the different views and, as a result, hard to find.

Another major innovation is a hosted implementation of Office in the form of Office Web Apps. Like Google Docs and Zoho, Office Web Apps delivers document editing tools via a Web browser—in Microsoft's case in the form of cut-down implementations of its desktop office apps. Anyone can sign up and use Web Apps to create and share documents online, and do so for free, via the Microsoft SkyDrive online storage service. However, for maximum functionality a copy of Office 2010 is needed on the desktop used.

How to Spend Your Money Wisely on Microsoft Office

2011-09-30T04:29:00.000-07:00

The best way to know why some things are not opening is checking your software version. If your software is a version behind the current version you should be okay but if your software is two versions behind you will have a lot of problems when opening files that somebody has sent to you. For example, If you have Word 2003 and somebody sends you a Word document in a 2007 or 2010 format you will not be able to open it unless they save the document as a '03-'97 compatible format. The problem with this way is most of the time people just assume that you have the version they have.

Don't get me the wrong way. As important as it is to be current as far as software goes, you should also not buy the new version the day it comes out unless your two versions behind. The way you should go is buying new software every other product cycle to put more money in your product or you could use a free program like OpenOffice as an alternative to buying the next software program. For free or very affordable priced alternatives to Microsoft Office look below:

1. OpenOffice.org-best for experts that don't like learning a whole new software. It is the best because it is so much like Office.
2. Google Docs-great for beginners who don't know much about Office
2. ZO HO
3. Office 2010 beta-This will become a paid program very quick, so take advantage while it is still free!
4. Corel WordPerfect Office X4-supports one-click PDF, HTML, and XML publishing
5. ThinkFree.com-one of the best choices for documents that look nice, neat and decorative.

The Microsoft Office 2010 Backstage View for File Management

2011-09-27T04:32:00.000-07:00

The File Tab

In Microsoft Office 2010, the File tab, a blue tab located at the left of the tabs, opens up a display of file related menu commands, such as Open, Save and Print, and is known as the Backstage view.

If you already have a file open when you click the File tab, you will see the Info screen. This gives information about the file properties at the right of the screen, whilst the central section gives options for changing permissions, preparing the file for sharing and deleting older versions of the file.

File commands are found in the left pane.

Microsoft Office 2010 File formats

The Office 2010 file format is XML based. This format significantly reduces file size, allows for increased compatibility, provides enhanced damaged file recovery and stores macros separately to prevent malicious code from running. The default file type for Word is .docx, that for Excel is .xlsx, that for PowerPoint is .pptx. An Access database has file format .accdb. Files can also be saved in PDF format or in XPS Document Format which is a fixed-layout electronic file format that preserves document formatting developed by Microsoft.

Opening Files

From the File tab, if you have used the file recently, click Recent. A list of recent used files will be displayed. Click on the required file to open it. (If you want a file to stay on the list, click on the pin to the right of the file name.)

Otherwise, from the File tab, click Open (or press Ctrl + O). The Open dialog box will be displayed.

Locate the required file, then either double-click on the filename or click once on the filename and click Open.If the file was created in Office 2003 or earlier, it will automatically be opened in compatibility mode.

To open a specific file type, from the Open dialog box, click the Files of type list arrow, then click a file type.

Closing Files

To close the current file, click the Close button at the top right of the window - if this is the only open document the application will also be closed, otherwise it will remain open. If you have made changes and have not saved them, you will be asked whether or not you want any changes to be saved.

Files can also be closed by clicking File tab and then clicking Close, or by pressing Ctrl + W, or by right-clicking its taskbar icon and clicking Close.

If you exit the application (File tab, then Exit), all open files within the application will be closed - if you haven't saved them, you will be given opportunity to do so. If you click Don't Save, a version will still be saved, just in case!

Saving Files

Unfortunately Microsoft Office 2010 files are not backward-compatible to versions before Microsoft Office 2007, so if you are saving a file to be opened by someone using an older version, you will need to save in 97-2003 format, unless the recipient has a compatibility download.

To save a file for the first time, click the Save icon on the Quick Access Toolbar,(or press Ctrl + S). Alternatively, click the File tab, then in the Backstage view,click Save As or Save. The Save As dialog box will be displayed. Click the Save in list arrow to navigate to the drive or folder in which to store the file. Type a name for the file in the File name box. From the Save as type dropdown, select the type of file required. Click Save.

To resave a file using the same name, press Ctrl + S, or click the Save icon on the Quick Access Toolbar or click the File tab, then in the Backstage view, click Save.

Anyone who may not know Photoshop really well would likely encounter undefined photos, blurred images and other problems that may affect the quality of your presentation if you copy and paste it directly to Word, Excel or PowerPoint. The release of Microsoft Office 2010 paves the way for great images and presentations within a single program.

Great Imaging Tools and Features

The fabulous Microsoft Office 2010 ribbon advantage integrates powerful imaging tools and options within Excel, Word and PowerPoint for greater convenience and awesome quality. Here are the three powerful options and features that make photo editing and other imaging issues easier to handle.

1. Picture Tools

Imagine yourself working on texts that need pictures to support your subject. The need to grab a photo and inserting it to your document is even easier with Office 2010. All you have to do is to open the Picture Tools ribbon within that Office document you are currently working on and decide what you want to do with your current photo or image before printing or publishing the final work.

Editing Images in Microsoft Office 2010

2011-09-05T23:51:00.000-07:00

Anyone who has ever wrangled with an unedited image in Word, desperately trying to get it to look right or fit right, will understand the importance of using a different program to format images perfectly before moving them into a Word document, Excel spreadsheet, or PowerPoint presentation. Office's limited options meant that users would always have to use a different program to apply effects or change the image itself, rather than just position it in an Office document. Microsoft acknowledges their own shortcomings in this respect by providing a picture editor with the Office suite, so users can easily edit photos first.

If, however, you really find yourself with a need to edit a picture in Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, Microsoft have introduced new tools with Office 2010 to make things just a little bit easier for those who'd like a one-stop-shop program. Rather than fiddling with two different programs at the same time to get things just right, you can use Office's new functionality to perform basic photo editing tasks and apply some surprisingly lovely picture effects and corrections. This saves your IT support the effort of training you to use a new program and gives you an opportunity to make more professional documents and presentations with hardly any extra effort.

Many photographers use advanced photo editing programs to blur or sharpen their images, depending on what's depicted. This wasn't previously possible in Office, but now Microsoft offers a range of options for doing just that within an Office document. When you click on an image and choose Picture Tools -> Format -> Adjust -> Corrections from the picture tools ribbon, you can see a whole range of slightly changed copies of your picture, allowing you to choose the one that you think best suits your document or pleases you most aesthetically. You can also access sliders for further customisation by clicking on Picture Corrections Options, letting you slightly change one of the preset options or just modify the existing picture. While you could change brightness and contrast in Office formerly, these new additions are welcomed for their increased convenience and choice.

Office 2010 also offers a variety of picture effects, from shadows and reflections to glow and bevel. These are easily accessed through the "Picture Effects" option on the ribbon. Again, users are given a range of preview thumbnails with levels of options, so you can choose one at a glance if you prefer, with increased control provided through another options window, similar to the correcting options.

Artistic effects are also available, and look surprisingly polished and professional. You can try everything from pencil sketch to paint strokes to mosaics. When you choose Artistic Effects, you'll see thumbnails of each effect rather than names, which makes things a bit more confusing for those of us used to Photoshop, but the previews make everything much clearer.

Office 2010 Error 1935

2011-08-31T01:47:00.000-07:00

Error 1935 may occur while installing Microsoft Office 2010. This article will walk you through all the steps required to fix this problem.

Solution:

1. Close All Instances of Microsoft Office
2. Repair Congested Registry Entries
3. Restart the Computer
4. Repair Microsoft.NET Framework 2 Installation
5. Reinstall Windows Installer
6. Disable Antivirus Software
7. Disable Firewall Protection
8. Uninstall Earlier Versions of Microsoft Office

Close All Instances of Microsoft Office

Office 2010 error 1935 may occur if you are running other instances of Microsoft Office system. For example, Microsoft Word 2010 is open at the time you run setup for installing Microsoft Access 2010.

Before running the setup, make sure that all instances of Microsoft Office system are closed. The setup cannot perform a task and modify the shared files if they are already in use. Hence make sure that all elements such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel etc are closed.

Repair Congested Registry Entries

Microsoft Office 2010 setup stores its configurations and past records in the system registry. Unauthorized modification in these registry keys by other programs generates runtime problems and errors.

In many cases I had seen, congested and obsolete registry entries were responsible for Office 2010 error 1935. Hence, fix the registry first before trying to run the setup.

Restart the Computer

Microsoft Office 2010 setup deals with various shared system files. A Non-Microsoft program using such shared file which the setup requires to modify, upgrade or delete at the time of installation may display Office 2010 error 1935.

Restarting the computer may solve the problem. Make sure that very few programs are running at the system startup for reducing the possibility of using shared files by other programs. To do so, click Start | Run, type MsConfig, press ENTER and disable most startup programs and services. Then, restart your computer.

The Best New Features in Excel

2011-08-23T23:30:00.000-07:00

Excel is arguably the most under-utilized Microsoft Office product when it comes to advanced features. Ask people what features they most like in Excel and they usually describe the spreadsheet and graphing tools. But that is just a very small part of the capabilities built into Excel. From tools for statistical, engineering and financial functions, to pivot tables, to Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) programming, you can use Excel for simple to complex data analysis and display with easy to read graphs and charts.

If you haven't used the advanced tools in Excel, start by trying the new features to get the most from your software investment. Analyze your data to discover patterns or trends, then display with graphs and charts that illuminate the best course of action. With a little practice, you will improve your ability to study large data sets and make the most informed decisions.

Make fast, effective comparisons

Sparklines - Use sparklines to graphically display data in a single cell. You can display data in line, column or win/loss format to highlight trends. On the Insert tab, choose the type of Sparkline and your data range. Customize your sparklines for optimum effect by selecting the sparkline and choosing the Design tab.

Slicer - Slicers are filtering components that allow you to slice-and-dice your data without having to open drop down lists. Slicers make it easier to segment and filter data in PivotTables for high powered business intelligence.

Step up your analysis

Search Filter - Use the new Search Filter to quickly and easily narrow your search in tables, PivotTable, and PivotChart views. You can instantly sort through a million or more items.

PowerPivot (formerly called Project "Gemini") Add-In - Groundbreaking technology that allows you streamlined integration of data from multiple sources and lightning-fast manipulation of large data sets with up to millions of rows. Effortlessly publish and share analysis through Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 and have other users enjoy the same Slicer and fast-query capabilities when working on their Excel Services report.

Backstage - The Microsoft Office Backstage view replaces the traditional file menu with an ergonomic approach that uses In and Out features for efficiency. The improved Ribbon lets you access your favorite commands quickly and create custom tabs to personalize the way you work.

Jazz up your data presentations

Conditional Formatting - Excel 2010 adds sophistication to conditional formatting. Give your document a professional look by adding eye-catching formats. You have more choices and control over styles and icons, improved data bars, and the ability to highlight specific items in a few clicks. You can also display data bars for negative values and use color for effect.

What Is the Best Microsoft Office Suite Package ?

2011-05-17T01:06:00.000-07:00

Microsoft Office Suites have brought a lot of advantages and various reactions from different users. The release of Office 2003 in the past made huge market sales and gained much popularity and support from all users around the globe. In fact, there are still a lot of people who prefers to stay to Office 2003 even with the existence of newer versions for upgrade options.

There are various reasons why some people stay in their current old software while others urgently decide for an upgrade. Whatever reason or aesthetic preferences you may have, it is always important to have an open mind and heart to examine every technological possibility and innovation for greater productivity.

Great Decisive Factors

Some of the factors that you need to consider are the price of the software, the system requirements and its total compatibility with your PC or current system. You should also examine the software's navigation system, the convenience and ease of use and the way the features relate to your daily tasks. Is Office 2007 more valuable to you? Alternatively, is the new Microsoft Office 2010 a total solution to all your needs?

Microsoft Office 2007 Features

The software costs the same as Office 2003. This is extremely affordable with all the great cool new features you will surely love. Office 2007 introduces the new Ribbon in its goal for optimized productivity for every activity.

However, the Ribbon did not receive much appreciation than the old button menu system. The general users have overlooked its enhanced productivity functions. Yet, the Ribbon feature has a lot of advantages and greater productivity solutions that every user could benefit from once its learning curve has been successfully accomplished.

The Microsoft Office 2010 Advantage

Office 2010 is the new software released by Microsoft Corporation after Office 2007. Upgrading to Office 2010 gives you a cool new wave of creative productivity in getting things done daily. Many new features are entirely unique to this software. However, you should think about the relative advantages of each of these features to the regular tasks you do each day to save you time and money.

It is more expensive to upgrade to Office 2010 than upgrading to Office 2007. There is a big difference in price for these two software upgrades so you have to think very carefully which one matches your needs and preferences.

The Ribbon has been fully optimized here. It is even more available to other products including OneNote and Outlook. The blue ribbon in Office 2007 is now changed to a white ribbon with additional features for easy navigation and convenient working environment. Creativity in design and style is also given utmost priority here for more productive results.

User's Choice and Idealism

No doubt, Microsoft Office 2010 is an ideal upgrade option among the heavy users of Microsoft Office Suites. There are eight editions available with this fantastic software. The cost you will spend equals the benefits you will get here. In some cases, the benefits of the upgrade will even overpower its cost.

However, if you are not a heavy user of the Office 2010 features and you decide to go on a budget, then Office 2007 upgrade is the perfect fit for you. Always remember that there is no right or wrong choice in selecting software upgrade. It all depends on the preferences and tasks to accomplish at every user's convenience.

Office 2010 System Requirements

2011-05-09T20:45:00.000-07:00

In most cases, CPU and RAM requirements for Office 2010 are the same as for Office 2007, so if your computer meets the Office 2007 system requirements, you can run Office 2010. A graphics chipset will help boost the performance of certain features and disk footprint has increased (more on these points later), but as general rules:

* If your current computer can run Office 2007, it can run Office 2010.
* If you’re purchasing a new laptop or netbook, it can run Office 2010.
* If you have a computer with a multi-core processor, it can run Office 2010 even faster.
* If your computer is currently running Office 2003, it’s possible that it can run Office 2010 (check the requirements to be sure).

What do the hardware requirements mean?

First off, I’d like to explain what level of performance you can expect from minimum-requirement hardware. The minimum hardware spec is about defining the kind of computer that an average Office customer needs to have in order to have an acceptable experience performing typical tasks. This means tasks like opening up and editing a 20-page report. Tasks like creating some simple pie charts or scatterplots that highlight your findings, and putting together a few slides summarizing your results for that meeting next Tuesday. Or even tasks like writing up your blog post about system requirements. You should also be able to comfortably run two applications simultaneously.

As you might expect, more intensive tasks benefit from fast chips, more RAM, or speedy hard drives, and newer hardware makes everyday tasks faster – but the hardware requirements aren’t about making Office 2010 blazing fast, or about running several applications at once, or about crunching financial models in a giant spreadsheet. They’re simply about getting typical tasks done.

A lot of other pieces of software carry both “minimum” and “recommended” hardware requirements, and you might be wondering why Office 2010 doesn’t have “recommended” requirements. The reason for this is that customers have told us that understanding hardware requirements can be confusing, and the difference in meaning between “minimum” and “recommended” requirements isn’t all that clear. For example, if the minimum RAM requirement for a program is listed as 1 GB, but 2 GB is recommended, what does that really mean? Does the customer need 1 GB or 2 GB? By including minimums, we’ve tried to make the hardware requirements as clear as possible.
How do we approach Office 2010’s hardware requirements?

CPU and RAM requirements approximately doubled between Office 2003 and Office 2007, as you can see below:

One of the pieces of feedback we’ve received from customers is that they really, really hate having to buy new hardware every time a new version of Office is released. With that in mind, one of our goals for the Office 2010 was to make sure that the minimum hardware requirement would not increase from Office 2007. We invested in improving the customer experience on minimum-requirement hardware, and we regularly tested performance throughout the development cycle. Our footprint has gotten larger since Office 2007, but we’re proud to say that we’ve succeeded in keeping the CPU and RAM requirements the same as for Office 2007.
How do you verify the CPU and RAM requirements?

To be objective about our hardware requirements, we maintain a performance test lab of machines with the following specifications:

* Intel Pentium III processor, 500 MHz
* 256 MB PC100 SDRAM
* Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3

I have one of these machines in my office, and when I got it I couldn’t help but laugh: it was manufactured in January 2000. Maintaining that machine and our lab becomes more challenging as time goes on – this hardware hasn’t been in production for years, and it keeps getting harder to find replacement parts when stuff breaks!

We verified our requirements using this hardware with the following tests:

* We measured benchmark times for 200 typical user scenarios and 1300 additional scenarios in both Office 2007 and Office 2010. The data we collected showed that Office 2010 performance on minimum-requirement hardware is comparable to Office 2007.
* Along the same lines, we tested memory use for the typical user scenarios, and found that memory use was comparable to Office 2007. Also, we never reached 100% memory utilization during our tests.
* Finally, members of our team used the test computers instead of their regular desktops for a week and reported on the experience. Performance was, as you might expect, slower than on average hardware, but nobody pulled out any hair (for reference, we believe that the “average computer” has a 2.1 GHz dual-core processor and 2 GB of RAM. We collect this sort of information through the Customer Experience Improvement Program, which Peter Koss-Nobel has explained in more detail in his blog post here.)

With this data in hand, we’re comfortable with a 500 MHz CPU and 256 MB of RAM as appropriate minimum requirements for Office 2010. To give this a bit of context, some of the least powerful computers available today are netbooks, and our data suggests that the average current netbook has a 1.6 GHz CPU and 1 GB of RAM – which is significantly more powerful than our minimum requirement.
What about disk space?

We haven’t changed the CPU or RAM requirements from Office 2007, but the footprint of most Office applications have gotten larger. These changes force us to increase the system requirements – most standalone application disk-space requirements have gone up by 0.5 GB and the suites have increased by 1.0 or 1.5 GB.

Microsoft Announces Office for Mac 2011

2011-05-05T03:11:00.001-07:00

Microsoft provided the most extensive look yet into the next version of the Mac version of its popular Office suite on Thursday at Macworld 2010. The new product, Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, will arrive in time for the 2010 holiday season.

Macworld spoke with several representatives of the company's Mac Business Unit, who told us the company is focusing on three things with this new release: better compatibility across platforms, improved collaboration tools, and a more refined user interface. Also, as Microsoft announced last August, the suite will include Outlook for Mac, which replaces Entourage as Office's e-mail client. And, in keeping with Microsoft's 2008 promise, the new version of Office will offer renewed support for Visual Basic, which was dropped in the 2008 version of the productivity suite.

Compatibility, collaboration

To the Mac Business Unit, compatibility means more than making sure that documents, spreadsheets, and presentations created on one platform open and render correctly on the other. Noting that roughly three quarters of their Mac users use Windows at least occasionally, Microsoft's Mac team says it's also working to make the new Office for the Mac more functionally compatible with the Windows edition.

"Nowadays, compatibility means more than just file formats," Microsoft's Kurt Schmucker told Macworld. "It's also workflow, collaboration, and user interface."

To that end, the new version of Office will incorporate document-collaboration features that take advantage of Microsoft's online storage features. With Office for Mac 2011, Mac users will be able to share files and collaborate on documents with other Mac and Windows users via Microsoft's SharePoint, SkyDrive, and Office Web Apps.

Those online tools will allow users to collaborate on documents with other Windows and Mac Office users in real time, much as you can in Google Docs now. You could, for example, create a document in Word on your laptop, save it to SkyDrive, then share it with others. A pop-up in Word will show you who's working on the document; click on that list, and you'll be able to send them a message (as long as everyone is using Outlook or Microsoft's Messenger IM application). The paragraphs your collaborators are working on will be locked out until they're done. You'll also be able to edit those same documents from any computer, using Office's Web apps. Mac users will have the same experience in the their versions of Safari and Firefox as Windows users get with their browsers, Schmucker said.

Lessons learned

Microsoft also says it's learned from user feedback about Office 2008 and has tweaked the user interface accordingly in Office 2011.

Most notably, there's a new Ribbon at the top of each document window. (If you want a preview, check out Office for Windows; the ribbon is already in there, although the Microsoft Mac team members we spoke to said they had learned a lot from the criticism the Ribbon took when launched on Windows.) The Mac version of the Ribbon doesn't replace any menu bars, but it does replace Office 2008's controversial Elements Gallery, which took some fire from Mac users for its size and inflexibility. This new Ribbon is designed to give users quick access to each program's most commonly used tools. Unlike the Elements Gallery, the ribbon is customizable and, if you want more screen space, completely collapsible.

The new suite will also feel more Mac-like than Office 2008. For example, the Ribbon is built entirely using Apple's Cocoa development framework, and takes takes advantage of Apple's Core Animation system. (As a result, Ribbon tabs will slide smoothly when you rearrange them.) If you click on some Ribbon tools, they will expand smoothly into popovers that don't obscure the document you're working on. We even spied a non-modal search box on the right side of the toolbar, right where you'd expect it to be, allowing you to quickly search through documents without having your content blocked by a floating box.

Summarizing the interface changes, Microsoft's Han-Yi Shaw likened Office 2008 to a teenager--"a little quirky"--but said the new edition is Office matured. "This is the version that everyone wanted," he said.

Shaw added that the Mac team at Microsoft worked hard to adopt Apple technologies while also making sure their product was recognizably Microsoft Office. "We're at a cross-section of Mac and PC, and because we're die-hard Mac users, we look at the [Office] technology and try to translate it," he said. "Following the Apple design philosophy really takes you in the right direction."

Outlook and Visual Basic

The other big news in Office 2011 is the demise of Entourage and the return of Outlook.

The new Outlook will support PST imports (allowing you to move an Outlook installation, including all your old e-mails, from a Windows PC to a Mac). It will also support Microsoft's Information Rights Management (IRM), which allows senders to specify what recipients can do with messages (print, forward, and so on). Previously-Windows only, IRM is required in some corporate settings. IRM support in Office 2001 is aimed at Mac users in cross-platform environments, Schmucker said: "It's been a blocker for some companies because the Mac support was not there."

And Microsoft has re-engineered the Outlook message database system to be a series of small files, so it's more easily backed up with Time Machine and searched in Spotlight. "Outlook's new database is more reliable, faster, and fully supports Time Machine and Spotlight," Schmucker said.

Finally, power users will be glad to see the return of the Visual Basic macro language. Visual Basic was dropped from Office 2008 in part because it was to technically difficult to port it to the Mac's then-new Intel CPUs. Microsoft says it began work on that port as far back as 2008--before the last Mac Office shipped. That work is now complete. And the Mac suite will be using the most up-to-date version of Visual Basic, so it'll be much more compatible with Office for Windows than the Visual Basic in previous versions of Office for Mac.

Microsoft Office 2010 is one of the best productivity experiences across the PC, phone, and browser for what you depend on today and what you'll expect tomorrow. It helps you rise to the challenge of today's business environment without losing sight of what's needed for IT success.

For your people, it means helping them work in a way that's faster, easier, and more intuitive?whether they're on the road, in the office, working solo, or as part of a team. For IT, it means utilizing a set of smart, easy-to-integrate tools in a security enhanced environment that work with what you have now, so you can grow your business instead of your budget.

What's Included
Word

Power Point

Outlook with Business Contact Manager

Excel

OneNote

Access

Publisher

InfoPath

SharePoint Workspace

Communicator

Use Office 2010 virtually anywhere: PC, phone, browser
With Microsoft Office 2010, you can review and do minor editing on Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote 2010 documents, virtually anywhere, by using Office Web Apps from more locations on more devices.

Keep your people productive on the go. Office 2010 lets you access and edit documents stored on a server while you?re offline with SharePoint Workspace 2010, and then automatically syncs these changes when you?re back online. So you stay productive while on the go.

Support your employees, regardless of location or device. Office 2010 saves you time and money by helping you deploy and manage Office on the PC, the smartphone, and the Web, all from within familiar Microsoft System Center tools.
Bring ideas to life
Create and deliver presentations that help you stand apart from the competition. Office 2010 puts you in the director?s chair, enabling you to create dazzling digital content in PowerPoint 2010 without the need for expensive third-party tools. And you can broadcast your presentation to anyone with a browser, even if they don?t have PowerPoint.

Stay organized and on top of your work. OneNote 2010 pulls together everything from daily sales figures to digital images, so all the information you need is easily accessible. You can also create side notes that stay on your screen as you move between different programs, so you can keep your thoughts organized as you multi-task. This helps you stay organized while saving you time.

Turn intuition into insights to make quicker and more informed business decisions. Excel 2010 provides tools for improved data visualization, which can give you key insights into business processes and tailor messaging and products to best meet customer needs. Whole trends can be conveyed in a single cell with Sparklines. And there are more options in styles and icons in conditional formatting, as well as the ability to highlight specific items like such as ?max/min? in a single click.
Work better together
Collaboration means better work and beating deadlines. Co-authoring allows multiple people to work on the same document at the same time, such as an RFP, to respond faster and meet deadlines. With Office 2010, several team members can work on Word 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 documents simultaneously and see who else is working on which sections, regardless of location.

Reduce travel costs and spend less on third-party conferencing tools. Office 2010 helps your people save time and money by providing one-click communication through unified communications technology, and real-time document sharing from within Word, PowerPoint, and Excel 2010 without the need to switch applications. This makes virtual meetings more effective so team members can get more done without being in the same room.

Instantly share a presentation. Hold spontaneous meetings with customers and partners with PowerPoint 2010. Broadcast Slideshow allows you to present a slideshow entirely through a Web browser?no matter where your audience is at. No need for your customers to have a third-party conferencing tool, or even PowerPoint. All they have to do is click on a link and a browser window opens with your slides.

Office 2010 Memory Requirements

2011-02-10T20:55:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Office 2010 was released for sale in June 2010, offering a range of usability collaboration/sharing improvements over the 2007 versions. Although this version won't convince the average user to buy the upgrade, power users and those who own the 2003 or older versions may want to check out Office 2010's benefits at microsoft.com. Read on for a brief overview and for details on system memory requirements.

The Office 2007 users will be excited to see the old, familiar "File" menu is back under the name Backstage. Outlook users will see the most improvements with the Conversation View & Co-Authoring feature integrated with many of the Office applications.

Other new developments include a Mobile version for smart phones, and a new, free online version called Office Web Apps. This version is a stripped down version that lets you open, view and edit office docs (on a basic level) without purchasing the paid version. Most advanced features are not available in the Office Web Apps version, but all Office Web Apps can be used in conjunction with the paid version. This comes in handy if you like to travel without a computer and use public computers a lot.

Microsoft kept the Office 2010 memory requirements the same as Office 2007, which were 256MB to 512MB minimum to run the Office applications. However, as you may know, that is the bare minimum needed to simply run Office (likely at a slow pace). We recommend a minimum of 1GB of memory dedicated to Office, on top of the operating system. So if you run Windows 7, which requires a minimum of 2GB to run efficiently, you'll need 3GB of memory to run Office 2010 on Windows 7 while keeping your sanity. This will give you acceptable performance that won't keep you waiting excessively for Office to catch up to you.

Office 2010 does require 3GB of hard disk space upon installation, that's 1GB more than Office 2007 and 2.6GB more needed than Office 2003. Make sure you have enough space before ordering or installing

• Rich media photo and video capture and editing including special effects and groovy styles.
• Built-in PDF support (finally)

2. Rock-solid offline support

Microsoft has kept its title as the Office desktop champ and it doesn’t plan on losing any time soon. Free and paid alternatives such as OpenOffice and Apple’s iWork have popped up on the grid but they just don’t have the tools to compete with Office 2010 in a corporate environment. If you aren’t able to maintain a 24/7 internet connection -or simply don’t want to be required to- then Office 2010 is the #1 Draft pick.

3. Where is the competition?

Google Docs and Zoho are both notable pieces of work as is Open Office however all of them are doing just 1 thing – Imitating the real deal, Office 2010. As free services, they have their place as does the Free Microsoft Solution Office Live Web Apps. That being said, they remain light years away from competing on the same level as the desktop version of the Office Suite including Office 2010.

4. Improvements to the ribbon

In Office 2007, Microsoft created an entirely new interface to its Office Suite. Some found it awkward some loved it but overall, most grew to tolerate it. The new ribbon in Office 2010 has all of what we used to love (A File Menu Tab!!!) as well as a continued refinement one the Office 2007 Ribbon. The result, the annoying Office Orb is gone and we now have a clean and effective Office Ribbon.

5. Skydrive integration

Dropbox and Google Docs might offer online storage, but Microsoft gives you 25 GB of it for free with SkyDrive. With Office 2010, Microsoft finally completed the puzzle by adding full integration between the Desktop Office Suite and their "Cloud" Microsoft Live Suite. Built right into the File, Save & Send ribbon features you can upload/save/share your documents directly to your SkyDrive account with a max upload size of 50 Megs. Not bad.

6. Live Office Web Apps

As Office 2010 hits a store near you, Microsoft released Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Onenote to the cloud (Windows Live Platform). They are all free, online, and they integrate with your local OS, Browser and Office 2010 all seamlessly. Using the Live Office web apps you can edit documents on the fly and easily share them with anyone all for no charge.

7. Crashed document retrieval and AutoRecover

In the past, losing documents to crashes has been one of my biggest complaints about the office suite. Although previous versions of Office included AutoRecover, Office 2010 improved upon it. Office 2010 helps prevent data loss from application crashes and it even works when you accidently close a document and forget to save. To go along with AutoRecover, Microsoft also rolled out a new version picker that lets you roll back to earlier edits of your documents similar to the way Google Docs and SharePoint lets you select revisions

8. Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2010 Support

If you want to use SharePoint 2010 to it’s full ability you’ll need Office 2010. But what’s so great about SharePoint 2010? The new SharePoint has many new features and it’s all 64-bit and only runs on Server 2008. Here’s the highlights of what’s new:
• FAST search provides high end scalability for content processing.
• Tagging feature, authoring, wiki’s, and other collaboration tools.
• Works in all browsers, you’re not stuck with IE anymore.
• An new easy to use interface based off of the familiar Office ribbon.

9. Protects inboxes from malicious attacks, so your organization (and contacts) can rest easier.

Office 2010 offers a Protected View enhancement to suppress malware in your e-mail attachments and Internet files. It also protects Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents. Documents downloaded from unknown internet sources will automatically be opened in Protected View.

10. Price, it costs less than 2007.

When Office 2007 launched, the prices were a lot higher than they are now for 2010. In November of 2006 you were expected to pay $680.00 for Office 2007 Ultimate or $539.00 for the upgrade version. The only thing was, nobody was buying the upgrade version. The only time home users ever seemed to upgrade to a new version of Office was when they bought a new computer. Retail stores picked up on this and seemingly ceased carrying the upgrade version since they could just sell out the full package.
The good news is Microsoft has taken note of this too, so they’ve killed off the upgrade program and lowered the prices. You can pick up a brand new Office 2010 Professional suite (Ultimate equivalent) for $499.99. But to replace the upgrade program they now have a new keycard program. If you purchase a new PC that comes with Office 2010 software pre-packaged on it you are eligible for a keycard purchase and you can pick up keycards at retail stores and some online distributors. Office 2010 Professional via Keycard goes for $399.99, so a $100 discount isn’t too shabby.

Conclusion

Over the past 6 months that I’ve been playing with Office 2010 I have to admit it’s been rock solid. MrGroove had a few problems with Outlook Crashing at work due to weird emails however once he fixed that problem, it has been smooth as silk. The new features combined with the great new look definitely confirms its spot as the king of the desktop business/home productivity suite. It’s more expensive than some of the competitors out there but I have to admit, you really are getting what you pay for with this one.

Changes of Microsoft Office 2010

2010-11-23T02:36:00.000-08:00

Microsoft Office 2010 is the newest version of the Microsoft productivity suite. It includes extended file compatibility, user interface updates, and a refined user experience. There are many new features/changes in Microsoft Office 2010, some of which are listed below.

* Backstage View

The most significant interface change is the File tab, which replaces the previous Office button in Office 2007. After you click the File tab, you will see the Backstage view. In Backstage view, you can open or save files, set permissions, define document properties, print or share documents, manage versions of files, etc. In this particular view, the document will preview automatically before printing.

* Paste Preview

The Paste Preview is a new copy and paste feature that comes with Office 2010. You can now paste correctly the first time without having to go through the trial-and-error process. In addition, a newly designed Paste Options button (keyboard shortcut key is Ctrl) gives the options to keep source formatting, merge formatting, or to keep text only.

* Customizing the Ribbon

In Office 2010, Ribbon tabs can be customized or replaced with your own custom tabs. Through the Options menu in the Backstage view, you can easily create new tabs that bring together your favorite commands and groups. Existing tabs can also be customized to fit your needs.

* Photo Editing Tools

Also enhanced in Office 2010 are the photo editing tools, accessible via the Ribbon. Select a photo or picture you've placed in a document, and a Format tab will appear with tools for editing images in a variety of ways, including sharpening or softening, changing the contrast and color saturation, cropping, eliminating the background, and adding a variety of "artistic effects."

* Remove background of Images

It’s a Photoshop like feature-not as effective though-yet its a great help. With it you can directly remove the background of any picture. It is really good for simple backgrounds while a little untidy and time consuming for the complex ones.

* New Screenshots Feature

A new Screenshots command on the Inserts tab will allow you to capture and insert screenshots from any open application directly into Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.

* Improved Sharing and Collaboration

Now you can get more done when working in groups. The new co-authoring experience with Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010 and OneNote 2010 lets you work on a file with multiple people simultaneously from different locations. Co-authoring refers to the ability for multiple authors to edit a document, presentation, spreadsheet or notebook at the same time, allowing you to connect, share and accomplish more when working together.

Changes in Outlook

* Ribbon Interface
The Outlook interface has changed radically, with the addition of the full-blown Ribbon. This puts most functions within easy reach -- functions that previously you might have had to navigate through several sets of menus to find.

Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview

2010-11-08T02:33:00.000-08:00

Microsoft intends to release Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Preview to invited guests who register to sign up for Office 2010 CTP Program only by July 2009. Office 2010 was previously known by codename Office 14 (taken cue from its version), and wrongly assume to be Office 2009. The setup installer of both 32bit (x86) and 64bit (x64) Office 2010 Technical Preview 1 (TP 1) has been leaked to BT network. The leaked Office 2010 Technical Preview 1 has the version of 14.0.4006.1010, a pre-trial version provided to premium Microsoft partners.

It’s unclear whether it is the leaked Office 2010 TP1 build will be the version that is going to be released officially by Microsoft in July. And it’s still unclear yet whether Microsoft will make available publicly for Office 2010 Beta downloads, which is said to be will be having 2 betas – Beta 1 in July 2009 and another Beta 2 in November 2009. The betas is said to be different from Technical Preview, where TP is just meant as an engineering milestone for the development of Office 2010 and related products that leading to RTM that will reach in July 2009, according to Office 2010 IT Blog. Office 2010 is expected to RTM and released as final product in March 2010, with the exception of Exchange Server 2010, where Exchange Server 2010 beta already available from official download links.

Note: The Office 2010 Technical Preview invitation at Connect will download Office 2010 build 14.0.4006.1110, a slightly higher version compared with this leaked build. And a product key is required for activation.

The setup installer of the leaked download will install Microsoft Office Plus 2010 edition, with Access 2010, Excel 2010, InfoPath 2010, OneNote 2010, Outlook 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Publisher 2010, and Word 2010. Project Professional 2010, SharePoint Designer 2010 and Visio Professional 2010 are also included in the leaked RAR archive download. Office 2010 supports Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.

Important note is that Office2010 TP 1 is still in early stage of development, and may contain bugs, although most individual programs such as Word 2010 and Excel 2010 are usable in everyday life. It’s also interesting to know that Office 2007, the predecessor of Office 2010, is version 12. Office 2010 will be version 14, skipping version 13, the number that Microsoft assumes may be not so lucky.

Microsoft Office 2010 Blue Edition

9 Ways To Spice Up Office 2010 Documents

2010-10-04T23:35:00.000-07:00

Even if your work is humdrum, your documents shouldn't be. The latest version of Microsoft Office makes it easier than ever to create handsome documents, thanks to some cool new tools for dressing up text, displaying images, and embedding video. (Of course, the ability to create better-looking documents isn't the only reason to upgrade to Office 2010. For a detailed review of the entire suite see "Office 2010 Review: Inside Microsoft's Newest Suite.")

You don't have to be a graphics pro to take advantage of these features, and the suite's Live Preview and Undo commands encourage experimentation by letting you painlessly ditch looks you don't like. Try these nine uncomplicated features to add a little eye-candy to any document you create.

(Note: You must save your document in an Office XML file format (such as .docx or .xlsx) for the newer features to work.)

Fun With Fonts

Apply Text Effects to your documents (Word, PowerPoint, Excel): In Office 2007, Microsoft introduced WordArt, which let users create text incorporating decorative fonts with effects such as reflections, glows, and outlines. But WordArt text was essentially a type of image; it didn't behave like text.

Office 2010's Font group (aka the Home tab) adds a Text Effects button that enables you to apply WordArt effects to text without transforming it into a graphic. You can still edit the text, run a spelling check on it, change the underlying font, and do everything else that you can do with regular text.

To get a set of effects that doesn't appear in the pop-up Text Effects gallery, click the lower right corner of the Font group to launch the Font dialog box, and then click the Text Effects button at the bottom for a complete set of options.

The WordArt feature in Word and other Office apps still appears in the Insert tab. It creates a text box in which anything you type supports Text Effects. The same effects are available as WordArt in PowerPoint 2010 and in Excel 2010.

Create your own calligraphy (Word, Publisher): Want to give a document an elaborate copperplate handwriting look? Click the lower right corner of the Font group to launch the Font dialog box, and then click the Advanced tab to access settings for custom kerning (spacing between characters), ligatures, and stylistic sets, which create the extended swirls that give some fonts a calligraphic look.

By default, 20 stylistic sets are listed; but not all Open Type fonts have that many different styles, and some fonts change very little in response to the style set you use. You'll have to experiment to figure out which ones work best. Microsoft recommends trying out style sets with a new font, Gabriola, or with Calibri, Cambria, Constantia, or Corbel--four fonts that were also included in earlier versions of Word.

Some of the Open Type features available in Word 2010 are also available in Publisher 2010.

Quick Pix Tricks

Crop and edit on the fly (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook): With Office 2010's robust image-editing tools, you may not need to process your image files in a third-party application before inserting them into your documents. Place your cursor where you want the picture to go, and click the Insert tab and the Picture button in the Illustrations group. Now browse to the picture that you want to use, click it, and click Insert. This procedure will place the image in your document while simultaneously activating the Picture Tool ribbon, which lets you try out all sorts of effects via Live Preview (simply hover over an effect to see how it will look).

If you're worried about the exposure or sharpness of an image, click the Correction button to try any of a huge range of exposures and sharpening changes. Click the Cropping button to crop your photo, in place, while graying out the areas you would be cropping; alternatively, you can specify a fixed size or shape. Finally, click the Remove Background button to automatically create a cutout of the main subjects in an image; if this tool doesn't get the edges right, you can use the buttons in a pop-up ribbon to add or remove areas.

Try an artistic effect (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook): Bored with a garden-variety photograph? To experiment with artistic effects that will make your photos look more like paintings or drawings, simply click the Artistic Effects button in the Picture Tools ribbon and then hover over the effect you wish to try out. Be prepared to wait a few second to preview some effects, however. To try different intensities and transparencies of effects, select the effect and click the Artistic Effects Options button at the bottom of the preview gallery.

Insert a screenshot in an instant (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, OneNote): A new feature in Office 2010 lets you insert a screenshot of any open nonminimized window on your desktop with a couple of clicks. In the Insert tab, click the Screenshot button in the Illustrations group to get a pop-up window that shows all open windows. Click the one you want to capture and the screenshot will appear in your document, ready for editing with any of the above-mentioned Picture Tools.

You can even insert part of a screen on the fly. First, minimize your Office app and maximize the screenshot you want to use. Then maximize your Office app again, and click Screenshot in the Illustrations group of the Insert tab, but this time click Screen Clipping at the bottom of the pop-up window. You'll return to a view of the desktop the way it looked when you last saw it, except that it will be frosted over; now use your cursor to select the area you wish to capture, and it will appear in the document.

New Video Aids for PowerPoint

If you've ever used a video clip in a PowerPoint presentation, only to have it vanish when you've tried to run the presentation on someone else's computer, you'll appreciate PowerPoint 2010's new video tools. By default, any local video file that you insert is embedded in your presentation, so you don't have to worry about bundling additional files with your .pptx file.

Compress as needed: Of course, embedding video files can dramatically swell the size of your PowerPoint file. To avoid problems associated with out-of-control file growth, you can compress your videos to reduce their size. Click the File tab to access the Backstage View of your presentation; by default, you'll see the Info page, with 'Media Size and Performance' as the top section in the center.

Click the Compress Media button, and you'll have several options for reducing the file's size (and video quality). Be sure to play back the compressed file; if you feel that you've surrendered too much in quality, you can always revert to a larger file size.

Easily play Web video: If the video you want to use is on a Website, PowerPoint 2010 makes the video easier to play back--if you run your presentation on an Internet-connected PC. Copy the embed code from the site, open the Insert tab on the ribbon, and click the Video button in the Media group on the far right. Then click Video from Web Site in the pop-up menu, and paste in the embed code. (This feature isn't available in the 64-bit version of Office because Adobe hasn't created a 64-bit version of Flash to support the video playback.)

Edit video from within PowerPoint: You no longer have to work with video files in a third-party application to prepare them for your presentation. The built-in video editing tools in PowerPoint 2010 let you work on your movies from within the application.

When you insert a video clip into a slide, two new Video Tools ribbon tabs--Format and Playback--will appear. Format has tools (similar to those in the still image-editing ribbon tabs) for adjusting exposure and contrast, for displaying the video within geometric shapes such as stars or circles, and for creating frame effects such as soft edges, glows, and bevels.

The Playback tab is where you can trim your clip (it works on a copy of the video file--the original remains unchanged), add bookmarks so that you can start playback anywhere you wish, add fade-ins and fade-outs, and specify whether to loop a video or rewind it.

Transitions and animations at your fingertips: In PowerPoint 2010, Transitions has a tab of its own, which makes it very easy for you to discover, try out, and apply transitions to your slides. Live preview applies here, too: To see a Live Preview, navigate to a transition you want to try.

New to animations is the Animation Painter, which lets you quickly copy an animation and then apply it to objects in other slides.

How to Manually Remove The Failed Microsoft Office 2010 Installation

2010-09-23T23:19:00.000-07:00

I had installed Microsoft Office 2010 beta which I downloaded from here and the installation was successful without any problems. In fact any newbie user can also install Microsoft Office 2010 without any problem. But when I tried to install the same setup on another computer, it got stuck in the middle and then I had to go to the Tasks Manager and kill the Microsoft Office 2010 installation process from there.

But when I tried to install Microsoft Office 2010 again on the same machine, the setup refused to continue. The machine was refusing to install any version of Office including Office 2007 and Office 2003 due to the corrupt installation of Office 2010.

I downloaded the latest Windows Installer Cleanup utility and highlighted Microsoft Office 2010 and removed it, restarted the system and everything was fine. The setup of Office 2010 started working fine and installed successfully on this attempt.

Open Text Support for Microsoft Office 2010

2010-09-15T22:57:00.000-07:00

Hackers Cracked Office 2010 RC to Bypass Activation without Product Key

2010-09-07T21:25:00.000-07:00

Microsoft Office 2010 RC build 14.0.4740.1000 is available for download and testing to few invited Microsoft connect users. These users also got retail product key to activate Office 2010 RC. Usually every Microsoft product under beta testing gets leaked out in wild on torrents and warez websites. Office 2010 RC is also leaked on torrents and widely available for download.

Users may download this leaked Office 2010 RC Retail edition but can’t activate unless you have retail product key. However this time hackers are one step ahead of Microsoft, they have already managed to the bypass & crack activation of Office 2010 RC.

Only Microsoft Office 2010 Retail edition requires product key for activation but Office 2010 RC volume license key edition can be installed without product key. The volume licensing (VLK) edition of Office 2010 RC has also made its way on various torrent and warez websites.

Hackers have put together a crack which involves using files from an activated version of Office 2010 Beta in order to bypass the activation process of Office 2010 RC. Interestingly crack, the illegal bypass method works by simply swapping two files (tokens.dat and pkeyconfig-office.xrm-ms) which sounds quite easy to do.

Another method to bypass Office 2010 RC activation involves running one script named “ActivateOffice2010beta.7z” made by one of hacker SoLoR and executing series of complicated steps.

As of now we have seen multiple forums and websites listing complete steps to bypass Office 2010 activation and Office 2010 crack is also made available for download.

The Microsoft Office 2010 activation crack is likely able to crack and activate Office 2010 RTM build. As the method has been revealed, it’s likely that Microsoft will fix the loophole before releasing the final RTM version of Office 2010. But who knows hackers may be getting ready with some other crack or activation bypass method for Office 2010.

We definitely want you to stay away from such piracy and illegal activities, always buy genuine Microsoft products and enjoy pleasure of having original stuff.

MS Office 2010 : 32-Bit or 64-Bit ?

2010-08-17T22:40:00.000-07:00

As Office 2010 Beta has already been released, both the options, 32 bit as well as 64 bit versions of Office 2010 are available for download. Now, many of the curious folks are wondering if 32 bit version is better or 64 bit ?

Here are some critical facts to help you decide which version you should go for…!

You should go for 64 bit version of Office 2010 only if….

You’re a hardcore professional who often works upto to the upper limit(2GB) of Excel workbooks. 64 bit version helps you work beyond the normal memory limit of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and other MS Office apps.
You’re extremely careful about your data and want additional security through Data Execution Prevention (DEP) technique
You have a 64 bit Windows Vista/7 already

You should opt for 32 bit version of Office 2010 if….

You either possess a 32 bit or 64 bit version of Windows Vista/7
You don’t want to face any sort of incompatibility issues with ActiveX controls(almost all of them are written for 32 bit Office version)
You don’t need an exorbitant amount of memory space when it comes to working with Office apps.
You don’t want your graphic elements to render slow and want everything light and fast

Final Verdict : In most cases, you will be satisfied with a 32 bit version. 64 bit version will not be of much use.

Office 2010 64-bit versus 32-bit install?

Compatibility with existing Office files and solutions

2010-08-16T21:21:00.000-07:00

The 64-bit version of Office 2010 is not compatible with any other 32-bit version of Office programs. As a result, you must first uninstall all 32-bit versions of Office programs before you install the 64-bit version of Office 2010. The Office 2010 disc includes both 32- and 64-bit versions of Office 2010. To install 64-bit Office 2010, you must run Setup.exe from the x64 folder. For more information, see Install the 64-bit version of Office.

ActiveX controls library, ComCtl Any solutions that use these controls do not work. No good alternatives are available for some of these controls.
Third-party ActiveX controls and add-ins None of these work with the 64-bit version of Office.

Note There is no 64-bit version of Visual Basic 6. As a result, many of these objects need to be ported and rewritten.

Visual Basic for Applications The only way that Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) that contains the Declare statement work in the 64-bit version of Office is if you update the code manually.
Compiled Access databases The .MDE and .ACCDE files, a common way for Access application developers to distribute solutions and protect their intellectually property, do not work in the 64-bit version of Office. You must contact the application vendor to have the vendor recompile, retest, and redistribute the solution in the 64-bit version.
Communicator integration If you install the 64-bit version of Office, certain Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 features that involve integration with Outlook are lost. For example, you cannot right-click a Communicator contact to schedule a meeting, send an e-mail message, or find previous conversations. This is because Office Communicator R2 is 32-bit, and Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) calls do not cross the 32-/64-bit boundary.

Additionally, certain Microsoft Outlook 2010 features are unavailable with Communicator R2. For more information about these Outlook features and the hotfix that addresses them, see the following Knowledge Base article:

You cannot see features in Office 2010 builds if you are running Communicator 2007 R2 RTM or earlier versions

For optimal Communicator R2 performance, make sure that you have the latest version by visiting the Communicator download page at Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 R2 Trial Download.

Office 2010 Common Installation Problems

2010-08-15T22:04:00.000-07:00

Are you facing Office 2010 installation problems? This article checks out some of the known issues so that you know what to do when you encounter an Office 2010 installation error.

Office 2010 Installation Problems – The Most Common Issue

“Office Starter” as it is more commonly known is a sort of Office 2010 “lite” – consisting of Word Starter and Excel Starter, this stripped down version of Office comes pre-installed on certain new PCs.

Effectively a replacement for the now retired Microsoft Works, Office 2010 Starter Edition’s versions of Excel and Word feature the basic editing features but omit the more advanced functions. Unlike Works, however, Excel Starter and Word Starter feature full file format compatibility with the main Office products, and the apps are also compatible with older versions of office. There is even scope to open up files created in Works. If you want to upgrade, meanwhile, switching to the full Microsoft Office from the Starter Edition can be completed with just a few mouse clicks.

All of this great functionality and compatibility comes at a small price, however – adverts. Office 2010 Starter Edition features adverts for other Microsoft applications and other products deemed appropriate. This could prove to be a distraction, so if you’re lucky enough to get a free copy on your new PC or laptop, you might find the adverts are too intrusive.

(It is also possible to have the various full versions of Office pre-installed on a new computer - for a list of the full suites, see, Office 2010 Version Comparison.)

Office 2010 installation problems can occur for any reason. The most common issue that creates Office 2010 installation problems is that many users assume they can upgrade to the software by installing it over an existing installation of pre-release versions of Microsoft Office 2010, normally the Office 2010 beta or Office 2010 Release Candidate (Office 2010 RC). This leads to Office 2010 installation error.

None of the available Office 2010 suites are designed to upgrade over the pre-release versions of Office 2010. You can however, upgrade from Office 2007 to Office 2010 using an upgrade key from any retail store or from the Microsoft online store. You can also upgrade from the free Office 2010 Starter Edition or Office 2010 trial version to a full version. Please note that while upgrading from Office 2010 trial version to a full version, you need to perform an in-line upgrade else it will again result in an Office 2010 installation error.

An in-line upgrade means that if you are using a trial of Office 2010 Home and Student edition, you can upgrade to the full version of only the Home and Student version. Similarly, if you are using Office 2007 Professional edition, you can perform an upgrade to only the Office 2010 Professional and not any other edition in the Office 2010 suites. Hence, to avoid Office 2010 installation error, make sure you buy the upgrade key to in-line product only. For example, if you have been using Office 2007 Home edition, ask for Office 2010 Home edition only. Purchasing the upgrade key to any other edition in this case will not only lead to Office 2010 installation problems but also to a waste of your money, as most of the stores will not refund your money.

Coming back to the most common problem mentioned in the first paragraph, if you wish to avoid problems while installing Office 2010 (any edition), make sure you remove all traces of the pre-release versions. This includes Outlook Connector that most people forget to uninstall while removing the pre-release versions – Office 2010 beta or Office 2010 RC. If you face problems uninstalling Office 2010 products, use the Microsoft FixIt Utility to remove the suite completely. Make sure you click the right button labeled “Office 2010” by scrolling down the linked page. Once you remove the pre-release version, you should be able to install Office 2010 without any installation problems.

Office 2010 Installation Error When you use MSI Files

The Microsoft Office 2010 installer comes as an integrated package. When you browse the installation folders, you can find several MSI files for different products. Though the Setup employs these files for installing the different applications in any Office edition, if you think of installing specific products (example – only MS Word and Excel) by double clicking on their MSI files, you will encounter an Office 2010 installation error. The reason is that Office 2010, or for the matter, any version of Office, employs several shared files that also need to be installed before it can install specific products. To avoid Office 2010 installation problems, always install the suite or products using the setup.exe file provided in the main installation folder.

How do I remove or hide the ribbon?

2010-08-12T21:11:00.000-07:00

The ribbon user-interface in the new versions of Office is still not universally loved. Trying to find ways to remove or hide it is a frequent request. In Office 2010 the ribbon can be hidden way with one simple mouse click. This function is available to the entire office suite include Word, Outlook, Powerpoint, and Excel.

Killing the ribbon through preferences or hacks has been commonplace since this new interface was released. Now it can be hidden with one mouse click.

Clicking the down arrow in the upper right hand corner of the application (near the question mark) will open or close the ribbon interface. It’s better demonstrated through the pictures below.

Microsoft Office 2010 Offers Word, Excel, Powerpoint In The Cloud

2010-08-10T21:12:00.000-07:00

Microsoft Corp. last week formally unwrapped the latest release of its venerable Office application collection, presenting upgrades for Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook as well as new versions of its SharePoint, Visio and Project products.

In a nod to encroaching competition from Google Inc.’s online Google Docs, Microsoft added cloud collaborative editing with a roll out of Office Web Apps—online versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint—available immediately to business customers. Consumers will be able to pick up the online suite in about a month though the vendor’s Windows Live web site.

With the Office 2010 and earlier Windows 7 product releases, Microsoft appears to have positioned itself for a huge upside should an expected industry-wide IT upgrade cycle occur, as many have predicted.

In showing off the Office 2010 application suite, Microsoft touted productivity gains--backed by figures produced from commissioned research--and higher return-on-investments that users can expect from deploying the new products.

Company officials also pointed to development opportunities offered by SharePoint 2010, suggesting that its internal data pegging the value of third-party service sales generated from the business collaboration platform at some $5.6 billion this year, ballooning another $1.1 billion by the end of 2011.

“With the 2010 set of products, organizations will save, innovate and grow as their people benefit from working across the PC, phone and browser,” said Stephen Elop, president, Microsoft Business Division.

Microsoft long ago removed any surprises that may have come with the introduction, as the software already has been extensively reviewed and, according to company statistics, 1,000 developers are adding custom solutions to it and about 8.6 million users have downloaded beta versions of the products.

In addition to the packaged and online Office 2010 products, Microsoft debuted Office Mobile 2010, a free upgrade for Windows Mobile 6.5 phones equipped with an earlier version of the software.

The vendor also unveiled Outlook Social Connector, a feature that provides communication history and social network feeds directly into the e-mail software. Other improvements include broadcast capabilities in PowerPoint and auto-previewing in Word.

Microsoft said that it tapped Forrester Research Inc., to construct a cost/benefit analysis of early adopters of the Office 2010 software. The IT researcher’s findings, consisting of interviews with customers, suggested that companies upgrading to the Office 2010 product would receive a 300 percent return-on-investment with payback within seven months of deployment, and save more than $13 million over a three-year period or about two work weeks per year.

The vendor said that the cloud versions of its Office 2010 applications have been endorsed by corporate customers Kraft Foods, Novartis International and mining company Codelco.

SoftMaker Office 2010 beta for Windows Mobile supports Office 2010 files

2010-08-09T20:03:00.000-07:00

There are plenty of companies that make apps that let you view and edit Office documents on mobile devices. SoftMaker is one of them… but SoftMaker Office is a lot more than just a mobile editor for Office docs. It’ s a full fledged office suite in its own right, and in addition to the Windows Mobile version, SoftMaker offers a desktop version of its software for Windows or Linux.

SoftMaker Office 2010 beta was released this week, and it includes a number of new feautres including support for Microosft Office Word 2010 files. You can even access password protected Office files.

The latest version also adds support for document tabs, making it easier to open multiple docs and keep them organized on a small screen device. There’s also improved PDF export functionality and an improved spell checker.

SoftMaker Office 2010 includes a word processor, presentation app, and spreadsheet app. The office suite is free while in beta. That’s the good news. The less good news is that SoftMaker typically charges around $90 for a full license for its Windows Mobile software, so once the beta ends you’ll probably have to come up with a bit of cash if you want to keep using the office suite.

How to Customize the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2010

2010-08-08T19:52:00.000-07:00

Customizing Office 2010 programs is easier than with version 2007. Office 2010 fixed many of the disliked quirks of the 2007 release. Flexibility and capability on the Quick Access Toolbar allows users to place frequently used commands and macros and reduce reliance on the Ribbon. Customizing the toolbar is the same for each Office 2010 program.

Step 1

Right-click on the Quick Access Toolbar and select "Customize Quick Access Toolbar..." As an alternative, click on the "File" tab, select "Options" and click on "Quick Access Toolbar." Either approach opens a window with two columns of choices. The left column is access to virtually all commands available in each of the Office programs. The right column is the content of the Toolbar.

Step 2

Access the list of commands from the left column using the "Choose Commands from..." drop-down box at the top of the column. Choose from the command groups or select "All Commands" or "Macros."

Step 3

Click on the commands desired for the Toolbar one at a time. Click the "Add" button located between the columns to move the command onto the Toolbar. Repeat for each command to be added. At the top of each command group is the . This is the vertical line used to separate groups of commands on the Quick Access Toolbar. In Office 2003 and earlier, the separator was accessed by selecting "Create a group." Now it acts like an independent command.

Step 4

Organize the commands into logical groupings. Move commands up or down by highlighting the command in the right column and using the "Move Up" or "Move Down" buttons on the right to position the commands. The Toolbar window is organized so the command at the top is leftmost on the tool bar, and each command below it is located to the right of the top command.

Step 5

Save the customization choosing to "Export" the Toolbar to a folder. This allows the same Quick Access Toolbar to be imported into any Office program and also serves as a backup file. Click "OK" to close the window and

Office 2010 Beta activation

2010-08-05T20:38:00.000-07:00

I was soo happy with my new Office 2010 beta that I installed immediately yesterday. And of course had some set-backs. If you are looking for the conclusion for all of this it is at the bottom of the post.

Started out with the 64 bits version. That did not like the fact that there was a 32 bit version of office 2010 CTP beta and office 2007 32 bit on there. SO had to switch to 32 bit version installer.

The 32 bit installer told me to remove the CTP beta of office 2010 first. So I did (same for Project and Visio). After that (and a reboot) it asked me if I wanted to upgrade office. Great. I can not get rid of the old office 2007 somehow, so go ahead. It did finish without problems, but it seems to have left the references to ofice 2007 intact. Hmmm. Ah well, as long as it works first right?

So I started up Outlook and Word. Seemed to work fine. But it asked me to register/activate. Well no problem, but I haven't written the key anywhere yet. Lucky there was a button saying "Change key". However that gave me an error. Actually it looked like the activation just crashed.

I do not have a KMS setup on the network (too small), so there must be a way to manually activate. Yes there is:
open an elevated command prompt and
slmgr -ipk xyxyx-xyxyx-xyxyx-xyxyx-xyxyx

Should be as easy as that.
Next error!
error 0xC004F050 The Software Licensing Service reported that the product key is invalid

Tried this several times.

How to activate this Office 2010 beta?

Next try. Perhaps I have to Repair it or something like that. So go to the control panel and find the programs and go to the uninstall programs part. Find Office 2010 and click the Change button.

What????? Check this screen

It has 4 options (add/remove features, repair, remove, Enter a product key). This must be what we want!
So I went for the last option to enter a product key and enter it there. Next next and a long wait. Argh, it asks me to reboot. No time! I just open Word.

Great an activation wizard! But this one is different from the old one. This one gives me possibility to activate over the internet now. Yes! This one does not complain. Have to restart Word though. After restarting Word... no more popups and problems. It works!

So conclusion:

remove early CTP beta versions from your machine before installing this beta version released yesterday 16 nov 2009).
Make sure to use the right number of bits for the installer (32 or 64)
Install office
Try to activate from the wizard that pops up
If that fails go to control panel - programs - uninstall programs and find office 2010 and click the Change button
Enter the product key and go through the wizard and reboot when asked
Open a program (I used Word) and find anotehr activation wizard and choose to activate over the internet now
When success it will ask for a restart of the office program, so close the program
start the office program again and it should be activated

Office 2010 64-bit versus 32-bit install?

2010-08-04T21:46:00.000-07:00

We posted earlier about the availability of 64-bit editions of Office 2010. If you are wondering about which edition of Office 2010 to install, the recommendations are as follows:

If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems.

If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010.

Office 2010 provides support for 32-bit Office 2010 applications that run on 64-bit Windows operating systems by using Windows-32-on-Windows-64 (WOW64). WOW64 is the x86 emulator that enables 32-bit Windows-based applications to run seamlessly on 64-bit Windows systems. The 32-bit Office client is supported as a WOW64 installation, which is the default installation on 64-bit Windows operating systems. The 32-bit Windows-based applications run on 64-bit Windows, which allows for compatibility with 32-bit Office applications and add-ins.

To learn about 64-bit Office 2010, see the Microsoft Office 2010 Engineering blog article Understanding 64-Bit Office (http://blogs.technet.com/office2010/archive/2010/02/23/understanding-64-bit-office.aspx). For detailed information about the supported operating systems, supported scenarios, setup process, and deployment considerations for 64-bit Office 2010 clients, see 64-bit editions of Office 2010 (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee681792(office.14).aspx) in the Office 2010 Resource Kit (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303401(office.14).aspx).

For a visual representation of this information, see the 64-bit Client Installation of Microsoft Office 2010 poster (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=168620), which includes supported scenarios, deployment considerations, and an overview of the Setup process.

Microsoft is also releasing Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications 7.0 (VBA 7) to work with both 32-bit and 64-bit applications. For more information, see Compatibility Between the 32-bit and 64-bit Versions of Office 2010 (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=179546). The article discusses the changes that apply to the 64-bit version of Office 2010 and introduces the new VBA 7 code base.

Why Office 2010 won't support Windows XP 64-bit

2010-08-03T21:17:00.000-07:00

When the system requirements for Microsoft Office 2010 were first posted, we noticed that Windows XP 64-bit was mysteriously absent. We contacted Microsoft, and the company explained that while deciding on which versions of Windows to support in the next release of Office, it weighed the user experience behind the versions against broadly dropping support.

"For the Microsoft Office 2010 release, we will not support Windows XP 64-bit," a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed with Ars. Upon further inspection, we also noticed Windows Server 2003 support was missing. "For the best productivity and user experience, the benefits of 64-bit computing with Office 2010 is best experienced by utilizing the newly introduced 64-bit version of Office 2010 with Windows 7 (64-bit) or Windows Vista (64-bit) version." In short, Microsoft does not think the experience will be good enough on its previous operating systems.

For the sake of comparison, here are the supported versions of Windows for Office 2010 and its two predecessors (for newer releases of Windows, older versions of Office may require service packs to work):

* Office 2003: Windows 2000 SP3+, Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2.

* Office 2007: Windows XP, Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Office 2007 is a 32-bit application that will run on a 64-bit version of Windows, but there may be some feature limitations.

* Office 2010: Windows XP (32-bit only), Windows Server 2003 R2 with MSXML 6.0 installed, Windows Vista SP1+, Windows Server 2008 SP2+, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Except for XP, 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows are supported. Terminal Server and Windows on Windows (WOW) (which allows installing 32-bit versions of Office 2010 on 64-bit operating systems) are also supported. Naturally, running a 64-bit version of Office 2010 is not possible on a 32-bit version of Windows.

While this is the first time the software giant is releasing 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Office, and on one DVD no less, it's a bit disappointing that neither of them will work on Windows XP 64-bit or Windows Server 2003.

Frankly, we believe Microsoft would kill off Windows XP 32-bit support for Office 2010, which is scheduled for release in June 2010, if it could. Alas, Windows XP 32-bit is still the world's most popular operating system, so the software giant is grudgingly porting everything it needs to make Office 2010 work on the eight-year-old OS.

MS Office Professional Plus 2010 software directly from the Microsoft website the next step would be to install it and take advantage of all its features. In this article we are going to show you with some features and screenshots of the software which are have installed and how to get started using them.

The beginning would be with the Extraction of files from the large downloaded file. Next you will find that there is a option to Upgrade because i had MS Office already installed of a older version and hence i could customize this to keep all the previous versions or else upgrade it. The installation process would start, though i felt that it took a long time to install because the progress bar was quite slow in moving and at a moment i did feel to cancel the installation.
