2007 Microsoft Office System Beta 2 Discussion

I don't have Office 2003 installed on any of my machines at the moment.
This beta's pretty solid; no unexpected crashes. Go for it. 🙂

I want the next refresh so I can customize the Ribbon 🙂

Any issues with Office 2007, Active Sync and your PDA?

My MDA never directly syncs with anything on my machine, so it's pretty much independent of the version of Office I have installed. The MDA and Outlook 2007 have no problems synchronizing with my Exchange server though.

Looks as if Microsoft will release a Technical Refresh for Office 2007 Beta 2, around September 14th/15th

I'd be happier if my AMD box hadn't died 😛

 

[kcnychief]

Dell now makes AMD boxes, buy one of those for cheapo 😀

 

[SPeedY_B]

As much as I'd like to, I have no money. I think I'll just try returning the parts from this box for now 😀

Now give me a cookie!

Pretty new icons too! Whee!

Almost done downloading 🙂

I can't believe the refresh is the same size as the actual installer, heh heh.

Also have it downloaded, but haven't thrown it on just yet.

Found that a little odd too. 🙂
Just started downloading it a little while ago.

It works well. I like the new icons. They now match the icon for Accounting 2007 (which I am currently testing as well).

I've grown to like to ribbons. I think they are very functional and much easier to use than menus.

 

[kcnychief]

I have heard mixed feedback about the ribbons being able to hide in this version - are they able to do this?

i am having trouble installing the refresh build. when i open the EXE i get a message that says " there are no products affected by this package instlaled on this system." i have just an OK buttong. I select OK and thats it. I have office 2k3 installed now. should i unstinall this first?

 

[madmatt]

Make sure Office 2007 Beta 2 is installed already. The refresh can only be applied to Beta 2 installations.

duh, thanks.
