November 23 Office 12 - Now on my Ferrari!I've just installed Office 12 beta on my Ferrari (laptop, not car) - and I have to say Powerpoint 12 absolutely rocks. I mean it is absolutely stunning - the new shapes look like they came straight out of Photoshop, and the new fonts (Calibri et al) are a massive improvement.
The ribbon takes a bit of getting used to though. I've had trouble finding buttons (across all the Office applications), so I need to re-train my reflexes. But it sure looks prettier. But then again, I'm using a wide-screen 1600 wide resolution, so it looks beautiful. If you're still on 1024, you'd be out of luck and it does get annoying. I do see the value for new users however.
And Excel is awesome with it's automatic conditional formatting (e.g. all numbers above 0 shaded green, all numbers below 0 shaded red, all at a click of a button). My favourite feature.
It's mightly slow however. Still, this is just beta 1. TrackbacksThe trackback URL for this entry is: http://adrianlee.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!7B21007FB96A62E3!375.trak Weblogs that reference this entry
