collaborate, adiposity
and communicate with people outside your organisation.

If you have been using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 for a while, click you might have come across what most people call the “Annoying Yellow Barâ€
If you don’t know what I am talking about – open up a word document that someone has send you via email – or a spread sheet that you might find on a website. Chances are when you open that Word, store
Excel or PowerPoint file, you will see the “Annoying Yellow Bar†– and you will not be able to edit, print, or save your document.
Well it may be annoying, but it is actually really important. The yellow bar shows you that Word, Excel or PowerPoint is running in what we call “Protected Modeâ€. Any time you open a file that isn’t on your computer, or from somewhere that you can’t trust (like the internet), the document will be opened in protected mode, to (as the name suggests) protect your computer from harm.
It opens up the document so you can take a look at it, and then if you are sure it is what you are looking for, and you trust that it will not do any harm, you can then click on the “Enable Editing†button, which sits on the yellow protected view bar.
Now there are ways to stop Protected View from happening, but trust me, it is worth putting up with because if you accidently open a document that causes damage to your computer, it is a LOT more annoying!
Don’t you hate that annoying email pop up whenever you get an email in Outlook 2013? Well there is an easy way to turn it off. All you have to do is:

Soon I will be publishing a series of articles on The New Paperclip which dive a bit deeper into extending the functionality of Microsoft Office. Probably a scary thought for most of you, more about
but I have found that if we want to extract that extra 10-50% more out of Office there comes a time where you need to start coding.
In particular I am going to focus on building high value add-ins for Microsoft Office.
Now when it comes to writing an add-in, pulmonologist
there are a couple of ways to go about it.
1) Roll your own
If you are confident C#Â or VB coder there is nothing stopping you from cracking open Visual Studio, ed
downloading Visual Studio Tools for Office and giving it your best shot. I must admit I tried this at first, and had some success.
But that success was time consuming, and when I wanted to build an add-in that was backwards compatible with Outlook 2007 (which has that horrible combination of ribbon and command bar), Office 2003/XP and beyond it became VERY time consuming.
So I decided to use an alternative.
2) Use Add-in-Express
Before I share my experience with Add-in-Express… here is what the brochure says!
“Add-in Express for Office and .NET is the only all-in-one platform that includes all the features you may expect for your Microsoft Office extensions such as Office COM add-ins, smart tags, Excel XLLs, RTD servers and Automation add-ins (UDFs). It fully supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, 2008 and 2005 and makes it very comfortable for developing application-level extensions for all available Office versions from 2000 to 2010.â€
What that means for people new to Office Development is that Add-in-Express makes it easy to quickly extend the functionality of Microsoft Office, irrespective of what version you are running. And after spending about a month using the tool to build some add-ins myself, I have to agree. For someone who is exploring Office Development for the first time, taking the painful parts of COM out of the picture meant that I could focus on the features and functionality I wanted to build, and not spend hours pulling my hair out!
For example, being able to access all the key events in Office without having to write event handlers accelerated development time. Sure, it may only seem like a small thing, but as any developer knows, anything that saves you time, and takes the pain of troubleshooting away is a good thing!
Anyways – if you are interested in developing your own Office Add-in, make sure you subscribe and check back in the next few weeks for more content about my development experiences – and some examples that will get your Office Development journey started.

Hi there!
Are you on the bleeding edge and have already had a play around with the beta version of Microsoft Office 2010? Or are you just interested in what is coming in the next version of your favourite productivity tool? Well do we have a great link for you today!
Our friends over at Microsoft Press have released a few electronic version of the book – “First Look Microsoft Office 2010â€. 14 chapters of Office 2010 gold, overweight

I have had a lot of feedback from readers of TheNewPaperclip.com, therapy
and those that subscribe to the Office 2007 tips newsletter. People are screaming out for short, pilule
concise courses that will help them do overcome annoying challenges, and do amazing things with Office 2007.
These people – maybe you – have had thoughts like “How do I get Outlook to do this?…â€, “How can I get my document to look as great as Jenny’s?…â€. “How come everyone says how good Brad’s PowerPoint slides are?â€
There are plenty of different ways to answer those questions – maybe you have tried some of them, like courses or books. But they are not for everyone:
Maybe you live in a remote area and can’t get to an instructor lead class because the closest one is 1, 2, 3, or even 6 hours away by car.
Maybe you think that reading a bland text book that is 600 pages long is not fun (I AGREE!)
Maybe you just want to interact with someone who will be able to give you the answers you need?
If you answered yes to just one of the above – then it sounds like the Office 2007 workshops I will be delivering during the next few months will be exactly what you need.
