Microsoft Office 2010 Blue Edition

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.

Itв 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 itвs 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.

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. Itвs 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.

Fix Outlook 2010 With Communicator 2007 R2 Error

Problem :

I use Windows 7 Enterprise (x64) with Outlook 2010 (x64) and Communicator 2007 R2 . I get Outlook Integration error in Office Communicator and could not update status information.
"Communicator could not determine the location of your Exchange Web services"

Solution :

What is in the latest released update for OC 2007 R2 for Exchange Connectivity:

· 64-bit MAPI is not supported for OC 2007 R2 in any configuration.

· In the event that MAPI is not available (Outlook not installed, or only 64bit MAPI is available) OC 2007 R2 falls back to EWS.

· In order for OC to discover Exchange and EWS, auto-discovery for Exchange to be enabled via the Exchange auto-discovery URLs.

Connectivity to Exchange Online:

· For customers that are using ExOnline where no auto-discovery is provisioned by BPOS, they should use 32 bit Office instead of 64 bit Office.

o BPOS uses local configuration files via the Single-Sign On Service Agent to configure Outlook to connect to ExO. OC relies solely on Exchange auto-discovery which is not configured for ExOnline.

o This will allow OC 2007 R2 to leverage 32bit MAPI to access Exchange Online via Outlook’s local configuration file that BPOS SSO/Service Agent drops.

Outlook Integration Error with 64bit Office 2010:

· For customers that are seeing an issue with on-premise Exchange deployments where auto-discovery is setup and enabled as described above , OC 2007 R2 CU4 should be able to connect to Exchange. These customers will still see an Outlook integration error in OC (since we couldn’t integrate with Outlook x64).

For example, free/busy and out-of-office information should still be available in OC via EWS.

How To Add Your Signature To Outlook 2010 emails

Step 1

In Outlook 2010, Click the File ribbon and Select Options


Step 2

Click the Mail tab and then Click the Signatures… button.

Step 3

The Signatures and Stationery window should appear.  At this point you probably don’t have any stored signatures, so Click the New button.  Name the new signature whatever you like and Click OK.

Step 4

Now you’ll have access to the body of the signature.  Enter your signature message, once finished Click the Save button.  At this point you can create multiple signatures and assign them as the default for New Messages or Replies/Forwards.  Personally I just use one signature, but it’s a nice perk to be able to use multiple.  To apply all changes and exit, Click OK.


Done!

System Requirement for Office 2010

Overview

From the outset, a key design criterion for Office 2010 was to minimize the need for additional system resources. A comparison of the system requirements for recent Office versions is shown in the following table.

 

Component Office 2003 Office 2007 Office 2010
Computer and processor 233 MHz 500 MHz 500 MHz
Memory (RAM) 128 MB 256 MB 256 MB
Hard disk 400 MB 2 GB 3 GB
Display 800 × 600 1024 × 768 1024 × 576*
*All display requirements for Office 2010 are designed to allow for good performance on both portable and desktop computers.
Processor and RAM requirements for Office 2010 are the same as for the 2007 Office system. Therefore, if your computer meets the 2007 Office system requirements, you can run Office 2010.
The recommended hard disk space has increased with Office 2010 because of new features, Office-wide ribbon implementation, and in some cases different applications that are included in the Office suites. For example, Microsoft Office Professional 2010 includes OneNote, whereas Microsoft Office Professional 2007 did not. Also, the system requirements are rounded up to the nearest 0.5 GB to be conservative. For example, if we measure an application’s required hard disk space to be 1.99 GB, our recommendation will be 2.5 GB. Our hard disk system requirements are intentionally larger than the actual disk space usage of the software.
A graphics processor will help increase the performance of certain features, such as drawing charts in Microsoft Excel 2010 or transitions, animations, and video integration in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010. Use of a graphics processor with Office 2010 requires a Microsoft DirectX 9.0c compliant graphics processor with 64-MB video memory. These processors were widely available in 2007, and most computers available today include a graphics processor that meets or exceeds this standard. However, if you or your users do not have a graphics processor, you can still run Office 2010.
When you choose the product suite or individual program to deploy in the environment, evaluate the computer before deployment to ensure it meets the minimum operating system requirements.

    10 Reasons Office 2010 Upgrade

    1. Overall new features and improvements

    Office 2010 comes packed with small upgrades that, put together make it stand out heads and shoulders over the old office 2007 suite AND it’s competitors.
    Here’s just a few examples:
    • Real-Time Co-authoring of documents allows for quick collaboration in.
    • Improved Outlook conversation and calendar management tools.
    • Outlook 2010 Social connector will be useful for networking online once more plug-ins are available.
    • The Outlook Hotmail connector allows you to use Hotmail like an exchange server.
    • Improved data visualization in Excel and Sparklines.
    • PowerPoint comes packed with new audo and video tools, you can even embed videos.
    • New ribbon provides a blend of old-school (File View) and new Office 2007 style ribbon provides universal ease of access across all Office applications.
    • OneNote allows side notes, print server, and saves almost anything for later use.
    • 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.

    Editing Images in Microsoft Office 2010

    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.

    These options offer a quick way for novice and inexperienced users to add sophisticated effects to their pictures without purchasing more expensive and complicated software. If you just have a simple desire to change the outline or the style of your picture, Office 2010 is now a viable choice for your editing. It's still not viable for professionals or for people who simply want a gorgeous picture to share with others, but if you regularly prepare images for presentations or documents, these new options might just make your day.
