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

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.
