Office 2007 Shortcuts & Vista Start Button
If you like doing as much as possible with your keyboard you are likely a big fan of the Vista search functionin the start menu. Unfortunately it seems as though a lot of people are having problems launching Office 2007 applications this way. If for example you type “excel” and hit enter it should launch Excel for you.

A good tool for debugging this problem is the freeware tool ShellExView by Nirsoft. It will help you identify & manage shell extensions installed on your system. In my case it ended up being a text editor named Jujuedit by Jujusoft that was conflicting with the handling of LNK files.

With the new Office (the 2007) design, look & feel, Microsoft have made a giant leap. True that it takes time to get use to the new ribbon and to get around quickly.. But once you are familiar with it, you rock!
We do a lot of researches on the web, and using Excel macros,
we have improved our research speed in 30%. That huge!!
Using OneNote have improved our research information control (nothing get lost now) and with the sharing files abilities, now everyone can contribute to the project.
So to summary it all, we are more then happy with the tools that comes in the Office 2007.
We looking forward to the new one…
With the SP2 support for open source files,
our CRM improved since we don’t have to “fight”
with our clients anymore
The 2007 was a great investment with benefits to us.
Thank you for the post.
