Microsoft Office 2010 overview guide

Microsoft offers eager to test, free, almost completed version of its
forthcoming Office suite. We have not resisted the temptation.

It's like the spring bloom the shelves of your stores, the various
editions of the new version of Office, the essential office suite from
Microsoft. Office 2010 will land just over three years after
its predecessor, Office 2007, released January 30, 2007.

But, now, during the first months of its release, just until October 30,
2010, the publisher offers everyone free to test a beta version. In
other words, a draft, but its already very accomplished and fully
operational.

It's peculiarity? This is a unique edition of Office, for the "Family
and Small Business", which besides having the "Word" word processing,
Excel spreadsheet, PowerPoint presentation software and digital notebook
OneNote presents the traditional "Home and Student" edition that
includes the Outlook mail client. The first pleasant surprise is thus
proving Outlook both at home and in business, much more convenient as
Outlook Express, Windows Mail or Live Mail to manage email effectively.

Mobility, accessibility and sharing

But you're probably wondering what is so special about it as Office 2010
will bring more power than its predecessor already qualified by the
evil tongues of gas plant. The answer lies in three words: mobility,
accessibility and sharing.

Mobility, because of Microsoft will not only decline suite on
smartphones with Windows Mobile naturally, but also BlackBerry and
iPhone.

Accessibility, because Office 2010 is intended to be used from any
computer connected to the Internet. And so, through its Web Apps (Web
application), reduced versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint is
available online via a simple Internet browser (Internet Explorer,
Firefox or Safari).

Share, because Microsoft has worked on the collaborative features of
Office. In other words, he has developed tools to write and edit
documents, spreadsheets and presentations, several at the same time and
without stepping on the toes! While tools are primarily designed for
professional use, they are nevertheless attractive to all family
members.

Word and Excel evolve smoothly

If you're already familiar with Office 2007 menus and its ribbon, a
first look at the new interface result should not be confusing. No doubt
you even think that Microsoft did not have much competitors, Word and
Excel 2010 were mere clones of their predecessors. Well, think again,
because even though new versions of the software of word processor and
spreadsheet have not been as many changes as other office, they still
contain some news ... rather nice!

Throw in
your paintings!

"A good sketch is better than a long speech" Bonaparte said. Could
Microsoft engineers meditated on this quote? One thing is sure; the new
Excel will be more graphic, and therefore more meaningful. What's better
than a curve, however small it may be to see a glance the upward trend -
phew! - Or down - ouch! - Of its budget? This is precisely what enables
the Sparklines of Excel 2010. And the pros of the worksheet will also
enjoy Slicers that can create floating windows consisting of buttons for
sorting options to a PivotTable.
