software has expired damn this only works for a month:w00t: never had that problem with office 2007 downloaded from bittorrent
From MS:<LI>2007 Office System Beta 2 compatibility If you are using 2007 Office system Beta 2 be sure to download the 2007 Microsoft Office system Beta 2 Technical Refresh, the most recent update. (The Technical Refresh is required to use Office Beta 2 with Windows Vista RC1.) </LI> Then from the office website:<P class=bodyText><SPAN class=heading1>Using Windows Vista RC1 and Office Beta</SPAN> A technical refresh of the 2007 Office system Beta 2 is needed for those interested in using it with Windows Vista Release Candidate 1 (RC1). If you want to run the two products together, we recommend coming back at a future time to get the technical refresh. <P class=bodyText>OK, but my orignal download of Office 2007 appears to work on RC1 regardless, or there is something not working which I am missing :hehe:
I stick with office 2003. I'm used to the interface wich is much easier to use. I want it all on my screen not under tabs so I have to search to it. not only pcm. almost all dutch magazines
Forgot to mention that the Techinal Refresh is now live: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...1cf-4bc3-821a-0bb10e7a59fa&DisplayLang=en And I find that Office 2007 is far better than previous versions, I have used office since office '97 and are used to the interface, however Office 07 allows me to do things faster, I love the real time previews of formatting, and the interface is easier to see, so after reformmating my comp, I dont have to try and recall which tabs i had on the page and where i put them, and then still fart round trying to see where that damn paint bucket icon now is . After a few documents I got used to 07' and know which tabs i need to go on to access certain things. It's about time MS innovated Office in this way. Anyway in my oppinion Office 07 > Office 03 And does everyone think that Office '03 is the same as Office '97 just with a blue paint job?
Where is the "Paste Special" menu in excel 07? used to be under the edit menu in 03 now there is no edit menu and i can't find it in any of the tabs! grumble grumble
I found an obsolutely superb Blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jensenh/archive/2006/11/10/the-office-2007-ui-bible.aspx there's loads of information here about the office 2007 beta by someone how obviously knows what their talking about.
How does 2007 run with vista? Is it buggy? Oh, howcome its free to DL? When does it need to be regiestered? I just dont understand why its avail to download if you can buy it in stores.
Runs for about 60 days. Works flawless with Rc1 build 5600 and up.It's not free basicaly. It just shows you what it does. You can't cheat the timing however. I've tried setting back the date and it just tells you to change the clock. Also the version you buy in shops is probably better like the case with Vista .The RCs were buggy but RTm works great.
