Have you ever noticed if you select some text in Microsoft Excel 2007 you get a little pop-up menu. You know the one, it lets you change the font, the font size, the font colour and a lot more.
Some people think it is great. Some people think it is annoying.
I think it is great, but […]

How many times have you lost everything in your document? Word crashed? Maybe the power went out? Whatever it was that happened… I bet it happened just before you were going to save, right?

Do you have a message that you want to send to multiple contacts, but you don’t want to do the old BCC trick? Better yet… do you want to actually personalise the message for each recipient?
Instead of “Hi all”, what about “Hi Bill”, “Hi Jane” etc?
You can, with email merge in Word 2007.

Some people like them… some people hate them. That’s right, we are talking about new email notifications. It doesn’t matter what you call them… the popup thing in the bottom right hand corner… the envelope down the bottom beside the time… the toast… some people love them, and some people hate them.

Have you ever read a book, or a fancy brochure and noticed that the first letter of a chapter is really big (and goes across a few lines) and the rest of the text looks normal? That is called a “Drop Cap”, and you can insert one really easily in Word 2007.
