Office 2007 in media

In drum spre birou, spre casa, la munca, la radio sau prin ziare am observat (era imposibil sa ignor) reclama agresiva, referitoare la Office 2007.

"Schimba fontul", sau "Office 2007 Acasa si pentru scoala" cu trei licente la doar 199 RON.

In pachet gasim PowerPoint, Word, Excel, si OneNote, toate din suita lui Microsoft Office 2007. Consider ca pretul este mult mai bun decat ceea ce exista pana acum in magazine, avantajul de a avea trei licente este unul semnificativ, iar promovarea este suficient de agresiva ca sa asistam la un succes comercial al acestei campanii.

Tot zilele trecute, am intrat intr-un magazin de prezentare si am incheiat un contract pentru furnizarea unor accesorii. Aruncand o privire pe ecran am constatat ca foloseau OpenOffice, atat pentru calculele tabelare cat si pentru a scrie documente. Deci, Open Office ataca pe toate fronturile prin pretul sau imbatabil.

Este adevarat ca OpenOffice musca din ce in ce mai adanc din placinta Microsoft Office, totusi, nu pot sa nu remarc superioritatea de necontestat a produsului Microsoft.

Cine va castiga in acest razboi, doar viitorul ne va putea spune.

How to post blog entries with Office 2007

Up until this point, I everything but hated Office 2007. I've lost track of all the time I've wasted trying to find the new location of various familiar options in the blasted ribbon. Finding document properties and the Visual Basic editor alone took half an hour each. But this feature can almost make up for all the shortcomings…

I decided to try using OneNote for writing my blog entries. Some of the features of OneNote -- easy screen capture, 'send to OneNote' printer -- all seemed like useful tools for blogging. But up until now, I was simply copying and pasting my entries into my blog. Just recently I learned how easy it is send them to the blog.

On any page in OneNote, right-click to bring up a menu.
Select 'Blog This'.
This will launch Word 2007 with Blog Post ribbon loaded. Your page from OneNote will be automatically transferred to Word. This will include any images that you added to your entry.
If you're doing this for the first time, Word will prompt you to register your blog account. It supports several major blog engines, including Wordpress, Blogger, Typepad and several others.
Using the Blog Post ribbon, you can even select the category for your published entry. The list of categories is automatically retrieved from your blog.
If everything looks good, just click on the 'Publish' button from the ribbon. You can publish live entries or publish them as drafts.
That's it.

You can even retrieve existing entries from your blog to edit them. The only thing that's missing is the ability to define tags for your entries. I find myself publishing entries as drafts and then using the Wordpress dashboard to assign tags.

All-in-all a nice example of collaboration features in Microsoft tools.

Microsoft Word has loads of shortcuts and apart from the obvious such as “Ctrl c” to copy, “Ctrl p” to paste, “Ctrl x” to Cut and “Ctrl z” to undo I can never remember the rest. Nearly forgot “Ctrl b” for bold, “Ctrl u” to underline and “Ctrl i” for and italic font.

Anyway and neat little short cut for the Thesaurus function is to click “Alt” and then click on the word you want to check.

It works in Microsoft Office 2007 but I’m not sure about earlier version.

Anyway that’s my new toy for the day.
