Here's an interactive guide that shows you 2003 vs 2007 interfaces, shows you where things were moved. Nice little flash app. http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/word/HA100744321033.aspx Looking at this just makes me see red. Nothing of value was added, just obfuscated.

How'd you do on 291? That's my next one.

The best part is when you see someone with a backwards ballcap shading their eyes against the sun with their hand!

the Excel developers said it's their most requested new feature and no, they won't be adding it. But ooh, look! Tighter Sharepoint integration. Shiny. Here's what I'm talking about: http://www.contextures.com/xlPivot07.html Count Unique Items In an Excel pivot table, you may want to know...

Very true, TF. You can buy a survey to justify whatever you want.

I heard Lady Gaga was planning on making an entire outfit out of Office ribbons.

I don't believe you! :)

I think part of the solution would be rotating monitors. I've seen them in the past but they were very custom kit. Use the iphone tech to make the screen resizing automatic. Then when you are editing a document you can rotate your screen 90 degrees and move from landscape to portrait. Here's...

I suppose I could start a proper holy war here by asking opinions concerning sharepoint. :) I'll have to give the RC a whirl. Is it open like 7's thing or do you have to be on a special list?

Yes, there are kludge workarounds but nothing that would work so well as proper support. UGH! What's it going to take to get this feature?

Ok, looks like I'll have to poke around with this some more.

Office 2010 is slated for June 2010. And this is when most organizations still haven't gone to 2007 yet! The ribbon and breaking things for no good reason is one factor; money is another. The ONLY reason why I upgraded to 2007 was for the extra rows in Excel. The ribbon has me chewing on the...

See, that's just it. I found the writeups online that said to do just that. I've done other reports where I've had to group by dates and that worked fine. But this one wasn't playing nice. Doing it my long method, this is how it looks. Deceased $0 349 $0.00...

I think I'm missing the easy way of doing this. I've worked out the long way already. I have a range of pledge loss and refusals dumped from the database. Refusal for this year, dollar amount from year previous, and other info that's good to know. The simple pilot table right now is grouping...

Vista? Run away! Run away! I feel a bit grumpy about Seven, they moved a bunch of stuff around but it doesn't really feel all that different. I know on paper it's supposed to bring more to the table than XP but I'm just not seeing it. It's windows. Click on stuff and it runs.
