I just noticed these two buttons when reading some emails in outlook, they magically appear on screen when you hover over the area where they are at! If you have a conversation with several emails going back an forth, you can go up and down based on the one being read, to see those buttons hover over the right corner side around the separator line between emails. I've only taken a screenshot of one direction, they also show 'previous' ...etc

Interesting idea, but why aren't these always visible?

Probably those of you who already downloaded and are running Office 2007 RTM know this but anyway.

The Microsoft addon for the save as PDF feature - which was taken out from the beta versions of Office - can be found here

I've been playing with the Office 2007 Beta 2 RSS reader for a while now and it hasn't met my expectations :(. It has a long way to go to become a good RSS reader IMHO. Here are some of the things that I dont like.

- I can't see any comments related to a post.
- Can't go to the root node of the folder and click 'Mark All as Read' and have all posts marked as read. Well the option seems to be there but it doesnt seem to work on the root node but it does on each blog I'm subscribed to and this is really annoying (maybe thats actually a bug).
- And hmm... thats all I can think of now.

Currently downloading Vista v 5472 will be posting experiences soon.

This is just evil. Thanks Mauricio for the heads up.

Update: Here's Brian Jones' - MS program manager in office - post about this.

I dont know if this is just me. But I ran into something yesterday that got me thinkinig. Now the new Windows Vista and Office systems have changed massively since their previous versions and part of that change is for the purpose of improving usability.

Now raises a few questions. I am sure that all of you will agree that the changes in the new versions are significant (I'm only talking about UI  stuff here) such as the introduction of the Office Ribbon and the getting rid of the menus thing.

I think this pauses a major problem for the average user of both systems (Resistance to change). Put it this way, after using the office system for instance for about 10 years or so. Would you be prepared to start to 'learn' a new environment (which will make your life easier - provided you do the effort) I think giving the new system to an office secretary for say will cause some frustration for a while before the person can get around to finding their way. Coz not only did the layout change but some functionality changed place too!

In Office 2003 to enter a header/footer for a document, you go to View-Header and Footer. I went into 2007 beta 2 to try and do this and hmm... couldnt find it, so had to look around and then found that it now residers under the 'Insert' tab. This comes interesting especially when you want to edit the header! You go to the insert tab again to select header and footer and then edit...
