Do you have questions about Word 2007, Excel 2007 or Outlook 2007, but don’t know who to ask? Are you stumped by something in Access 2007, OneNote 2007, or Visio 2007? Do you know what to do with SharePoint Designer 2007, Publisher 2007, Groove 2007 or Communicator 2007?
If you have answered yes to any of those – you need to start asking your Office 2007 questions at The New Paperclip forums – http://forums.thenewpaperclip.com.
Not only are their forums for all the desktop programs that are in Office, there are also forums for the server programs that make up the Microsoft Office System – SharePoint Server (MOSS), Performance Point Server, Project Server and Groove Server.
I will be on hand when I can to answer your questions – and most importantly members of the community will also be there to help out.
I look forward to answering all your questions in the near future – start posting them today! http://forums.thenewpaperclip.com!

Did you know that you can save all your documents, presentations or spreadsheets in PDF format? You can not do it out of the box when you purchase Office 2007. But it is very easy to turn it on! Simply download the free plugin from Microsoft. The PDF/XPS plugin for Office 2007 will enable you to save your Word 2007 documents into Adobe’s Portable Document Framework (PDF), as well as other documents you create in seven other different Office 2007 programs.
All you need to do is download the plugin from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=4D951911-3E7E-4AE6-B059-A2E79ED87041&displaylang=en
Then simply click “Save As PDF or XPS” when you want to save your document as a PDF!
Easy!

The worst part of software evaluation is having to wait for ages whilst you download all the different trial versions that you want to look at. Office 2007 is no different, with most trial versions being in the hundreds of megabytes region! Talk about a bandwidth hog!
But there is a much easier, faster, and less painful way to try out each of the Microsoft Office 2007 system products – even those niche ones like SharePoint Designer 2007, OneNote 2007, Visio 2007, Project 2007, and even InfoPath 2007! It is called the 2007 Microsoft Office Test Drive.
The Test Drive is a virtual environment that you can view from your web browser! (delivered via Citrix for those who want to know the technical side of it). Using the Test Drive is exactly like using the trial software if you had installed it on your own machine – only you don’t have the hassle of installing (and eventually uninstalling) all your favourite Microsoft Office 2007 programs.
The best part about the Office 2007 Test Drive is that it comes packed with tutorials for each of the products that you can evaluate. This feature alone is fantastic because you can get up to speed very quickly on each of the Office 2007 products, and make a fair and informed decision as to the benefits that the products will have to your productivity, your business, or your employees.
You can find the 2007 Office System Test Drive on Office Online. And remember when you have played with the products, come back to The New Paperclip to dive deeper into each of them

Exciting news!!! My sources at Microsoft have all been spruiking that Microsoft Office 2007 has now reached the magic milestone that is RTM.
If you are a MSDN subscriber, you can expect the gold code to be available in the next few days.
If you are a consumer, we still need to wait until early next year to purchase Microsoft Office 2007 from the shops!
So now that Office 2007 is available, are there any areas that you need me to cover? Over the next week or two I think I will get back to basics and build tutorials that cover the products (Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 and Outlook 2007 to start with) from the ground up!
If you have any suggestions… please leave a comment and let me know.

You thought I was gone… think again… I am back with a new Outlook on life! I dumped my old style, bought some new fashionable glasses, and use some new fancy metal polish… it is not what you are thinking… I prefer to call myself a metrosexual paperclip! Take my Word for it. I Excel at all things Office 2007, especially when I Access my Tablet PC. The battery on it is a bit flakey though, so I need to plug it into a PowerPoint. The New Paperclip is my first Project after being shown the door at Microsoft. For a while there I was on a long and winding Infopath, trying new things (I applied for a job as a shape in Visio, but didn’t get an interview!). I guess I need to work on my resume to Project a better image. After that setback I decided to follow my dream to become a world famous Publisher. That would have been Frontpage news a while ago… but for some reason whenever I look at the cover of the newspaper, all I see is SharePoint Designer. What a strange world we live in!
I hope you continue to read my prose on Office 2007. I will be serving up all my favourite tips and techniques for all your favourite Office 2007 applications. Plus I might even show you some video so you can follow at home or in the office… that is if I get my web cam to work!
Peace out
