Overall my experience with Office 2007 has been good

Office 2007 Review
This is my first blog entry using the new publish to blog feature in Word 2007. I must say that the new ribbon is very, very good. It’s like Microsoft took all the stuff I use on a daily basis in Word, Excel and Outlook and put it out where I can use it. By now you must have viewed the screen shots of the ribbon. Those of you will small screens might want to stick with Office 2003, as the new ribbon in Office 2007 takes up a lot of screen space. I doubt this is much of a problem for most users with modern computers running at 1024 x 768 or greater.
So here is a quick review of the things that work in the new versions of Office 2007.
GOOD
   1. I love the ease of use of the ribbon, all the hours of user research has paid off. They took the 4000 options no one ever used and buried them. Things like changing case of text is now just one click away. If you find something that you use on a regular basis, but it’s not in the ribbon you can always “customize the quick access toolbar” and add it there.
   2. The color scheme is cool and clean, I find the icons easier to understand, and things like “check names” in outlook is more prominent.
   3. Microsoft took the “Start” button concept from Windows and applied it to Office 2007. Now we have this very large round button in the top left-hand corner. I found this menu to be well organized and easy to use. My wife on the other hand couldn’t find where things went. So average users may find the GUI overhaul a bit hard at first. But over all the new interface changes are well done.
   4. Due to a legal scuffle with Adobe the “Save to PDF” function was removed in the final shipping version.I’ve used this save to PDF feature and it works very well. It’s actually much faster than Adobes own implementation of it in the full version of Acrobat.
   5. The killer Outlook feature (other than the UI enhancements) is the ability to set emails as “TODO ITEMS” anyone who has used Outlook for long soon starts to use emails as todo items. Now you can actually set emails from people as action items. I find this feature the best part of Outlook. Now when a client sends me a change for a website in an email, I simply tag the email as an “TODO” item. This is feature alone is worth the upgrade.
BAD
   1. I’ve noticed you have to do a bit of fiddling to get Office 2007 to save to the old format of 2003. I exchange documents with many clients and most of them have not upgraded yet. Giving them word files with the extension “.docx” might through them off. BTW this is Microsoft’s new XML Office format. You can set Office to save to the older format by default, but it’s a pain to find that setting at first.
   2. Like all MS products Office 2007 is a memory pig. For instance as I type this blog entry using Word running, and I switch to the “Windows Task Manager” to see how much memory it’s consuming. 55,704 k! Yep, almost 55megs! Now I have nothing to worry about since I’m running a system with 4 GIG of RAM. Users with slower machines with less RAM might want to wait for an upgrade until they get a more modern system if you plan to run many programs at once.
   3. The ribbon takes a little learning. I wouldn’t upgrade to Office 2007 in the middle of a big project where you need to use Word, Excel, PowerPoint all the time.
   4. I’ve found this version of Office to crash more often than 2003. (on the plus side the file has always be automatically recovered by Office each time, so no data loose yet!)
   5. One thing that bugs me about the new GUI. Where the heck is the “close document” button. When you click the “x” in the top right hand corner it closes the document you are in. But if that is the only document open it closes Word right down. What if i wanted to close that document but keep Word running? There is no easy way to do this except choose it form the new Office Start menu, or use the keyboard short cut control “x” .
Final Thoughts
Overall my experience with Office 2007 has been good. If you have a new computer this version of Office will be great for you. Those with older slower machines may wait for the upgrade until there hardware catches up. I imagine that this version of Office will run well on any computer with 1 GIG of RAM or greater. If you plan to user Outlook and surf the web you should be fine. But trying to run heavy apps like Photoshop, Office and Web browsing may become an issue on older machines. I would highly recommend Office 2007 just for the productively enhancements. I find my self doing more work, instead of hunting for commands in the software.
Side Note:
I have been using MS Word since it was first created for the Mac. So I am a long time user. This is the best version of Word I’ve used in all that time. Hats off to Microsoft.

Windows 7 to overtake Windows XP

If you haven’t heard, Windows 7 is now officially an RC or Release Candidate Build. That means in reality, it shouldn’t be long before the consumers start seeing the marketing campaign, the bells and the whistles and it becoming an option for your next computer.
Should you care though? To some people, Windows Vista was a big bloated and poorly performing Operating System which received very little positive coverage. To others, like myself that perhaps dont play a lot of games and always had modern hardware lying around, I never had many problems with Vista.
By Microsoft’s own admission though, Windows 7 is built upon Vista, it’s not an entirely new Operating System at all, just a more streamlined, polished and consumer friendly version of Vista. Is that a good thing though, likening it to Vista? I guess time will tell, but for those of you that haven’t seen Windows 7 in action yet, let’s say that yes it looks a lot like Vista with the flashy Aero Interface. But it’s so much better than Vista, that it won’t take long for Windows 7 to overtake Windows XP in the popularity stakes.
Having used Windows 7 myself for a while now, there’s many “little” changes that make it overall a much more rewarding experience than Vista, or XP ever was. Subtle changes to the way desktop wallpapers are applied, a brand new Windows Taskbar (which of course we will cover in our training videos). A new feature called Libraries. And did we mention that it’s much, much faster than Vista ever was? From my perspective, I’d say, imagine Windows Vista running at Windows XP speed…add some new features and you have Windows 7.

Windows 7 and installed it on my computer

A few weeks ago, I bought Windows 7 and installed it on my computer at home. After installing, I started trying to organize things the way I want them. On all of my computers, one of the first things I do is to move the taskbar to the top of the screen and create a quicklaunch toolbar docked at the bottom of the screen. Unfortunately, after a lot of playing around and a lot of research online, I found there was no way to do that; until I discovered.
In Windows XP, it was extremely easy to undock the QuickLaunch bar from the taskbar and move it anywhere on the screen. In Windows Vista, it was no longer possible to undock the QuickLaunch bar, but there was a new feature that allowed you to create a docked toolbar from any folder on the computer. Therefore, the quick fix was to create a new folder, drag all of your shortcuts into it and dock it on the bottom of the screen.
In Windows 7, however, they’ve done away with that feature, too. Now, there is no native way to dock additional toolbars at all. You only get one toolbar.
That’s where ObjectDock comes in. ObjectDock is a nice little utility that allows you to create a new toolbar and dock it at any edge of your screen. Visually, by default, ObjectDock is very similar to the dock you’ll find at the bottom of Mac computers. On the dock, you can add shortcuts to any programs or utilities you frequently use. On top of the standard quicklaunch features, ObjectDock also includes a small indicator that tells you which of the programs on the dock you currently have open. Finally, there are a few widgets that can be used on the dock (called “docklets”), including a weather widget, a clock widget and more.
You can download and use a version of ObjectDock for free, which is the version I’m using. However, there is also a version that allows you to create multiple docks, to create tabs on the docks to help organize your shortcuts and more.
If you’ve recently upgraded to Windows 7, or even if you’re using Vista and you’re looking for a better way to implement a quicklaunch toolbar, I would highly recommend using ObjectDock.

Office 2007 will work in reduced functionality

Most suites or programs of Microsoft Office 2007 allows user to evaluate the product. The trial version of 2007 Microsoft Office system can be installed by using a 25-character trial product key available from Microsoft while you, and you can use the Microsoft Office 2007 suite or program with full functionality for 60 days.
You may have the Office 2007 CD and are able to Office 2007 without entering product key. However, Office 2007 will work in reduced functionality mode, where it’s effectively just a viewer for Office. Beside, if you forget the trial product key, or don’t wish to register a Windows Live ID to get the trial key, here’s the trick to activate Office 2007, or more correctly, bypass the activation of Office 2007 60 days trial, and making the “trial” word disappear from the Office title at the top and suppress activation and trial expiry prompt.
Note that to use Microsoft Office 2007 beyond 60 days trial period, you need to purchase a valid license for it, available from or most computer retail store.
To use this hack to crack activation on Office 2007, you need to install Office 2007 without any serial number or product key. If you have installed Office 2007 with a product key or serial number, do the following to clean remove Office 2007 of product key:
   1. Close all Microsoft Office.
   2. If there is more than one registry entries or subkeys that reference Microsoft 12.0 registration, open up each subkey, and then identify the product by the ProductName value data until you locate the subkey for the product which you want to remove the existing product license key.
   3. Once found the correct registry subkey, delete the following values:
     
   4. Close Registry Editor.

Write what you know about

Creating a successful gardening blog

Comments Following on from my earlier post. Here are 10 guidelines worth considering if you intend to keep a gardening or landscaping Blog
1. Write what you know about, you can waste valuable time and effort spending hours on a topic that appears lightweight and inaccurate.
2. Keep your posts short, punchy and concise, use as few words as possible to put your points across and use white space as breather points that allow readers to pause, but still remain interested. Use a photo with a descriptive title to illustrate what you are writing about.
3. Try not to patronise, you want to share your knowledge and views but don't ram it down your viewers throat. Stimulate a debate. You are really winning if someone feels comfortable in responding in the comments section at the bottom of your post.
4. If you get something wrong don't hide it, correct it quickly and if it is pointed out by a commenter, thank them. You want your audience to know you are 'only human'.
5. If you are writing about a project as work in progress, make sure you update the blog regularly. If you add ten 'before' photos on day one of the project but fail to add or even take any further images until you are over half way or when the project is complete, your audience (or potential customer) will lose interest. They want to see how you are doing, how efficient you are and how you combat problems along the way.
6. Organise your site to look balanced and appealing. If you are hoping to add to your income by inserting Google Adsense code then put it in a prominent position. Blend the colours of the ads so that they appear part of your site. Google ensures that the viewer is always aware that it is advertising but you are giving them the option to research further by looking for related adverts.
Bear in mind that if you are selling yourself as a service or a product, using adverts can distract potential clients and you could even send them elsewhere without engaging with you.
7. If writing about a current work project on a blog, Google and other search engines indexes the pages and words on your site. Try to ensure that you you utilise the right keywords so that search engines have enough 'juice' to find your content and send interested searchers to your site.
8. What ever you do, update regularly. There is nothing worse than leaving a blog dormant for weeks. Readers and potential customer will get bored. If you have a digital camera then use it - a picture tells a thousand word (don't forget the image title).
Editing is easy with MS Paint or an on-line editing photo editing software like or something more powerful like Adobe Photoshop.
9. Add local place names which relate to what you are doing. If you are a landscaper or gardener in Hampshire and wish to attract enquiries within a certain radius then write about places, suppliers or events in that area.
10. Enjoy your blogging as much as your day to day work. If you consider your on-line diary as a chore after a busy day, then it will be reflected in your writing.
Avoid sentences like: 'It rained today so we finished early' because it is not inspiring - pack it out a bit and consider how you can make the most mundane and uninspiring things engage your readers and keep them hooked. Add a photo for fun of the rain dripping into a bucket full of water for example.
Consider something along the lines of this 'Today's task has been made all the more challenging by heavy rain. Not to be put off, my team and I decided that a clean up of the work area would be beneficial and a chat over a cup of tea, concerning the planning for tomorrow, will make the day easier before leaving early so that all of us will be refreshed and ready for tomorrows challenge'
OK I have exaggerated a bit but hopefully the point is there.
Always bear in mind that your blogging diary is an extension of your work ethic, creativity, professionalism and personality.

When we got to the organic coffee farm in Atenas


When we got to the organic coffee farm in Atenas, dona Sole, don Gerardo, and Gabriel's brother Raul greeted me with great warmth. These folks are salt-to-the-earth people--they're genuine, patient, and kind. We're bonded by a rock-solid commitment to the same ecological and social equity principles. It's about a shared ethos that moves Primal Echo to support in economic and honorable trade, and this family through their organic farming, for better health for ourselves, our neighbors, and future generations and for improved ecosystems locally and globally.
To paraphrase something don Gerardo shared during our visit, we've all been bitten by that same bug, that sustainability critter that burrowed in our respective characters long ago, as we were being shaped into what we came to be.What a blessing that our paths crossed.
As Gabriel and this chiefmonkey were finishing our scrumptious lunches and homemade frozen dessert treats, another friend of the family's and fan stopped by. Brian and fiancee Alison had heard I was visiting, his in-laws were also in the 'hood, and he wanted to drop by. Brian writes a blog about their new life he and his fiance share in Atenas. I had seen a few photos that his fiancee took at farm and wrote to find out if I might be able to use them in our website that accompanied an entry he had written about the family farm, and they were immensely generous and said okay! (In fact, they told when we met that they have many more to share, so thanks again Brian and Alison! May your lives be lovely and full of adventure.
After much laughter and sharing with Brian, his entourage, and the family farm clan, I had an opportunity to spend some serious QT with the this Atenas family. I interviewed don Gerardo and Gabriel for a short donor raising video we're putting together for Primal Echo. We walked the farm, as they pointed out the many tree species they have that shade their coffee, the water holding mini-ponds they carve out for capturing heavy or light rains to irrigate more efficiently and prevent erosion, the piles of organic matter that make up their composting initiatives. They know every shrub, tree, and new voluntary plants on their highly biodiverse plot. Songbirds and birds of prey were flying above us, and on two occasions I got buzzed by two different types of butterflies. They've cataloged more than 40 different varities of these winged lifeforms and counting.
I was privileged to see huge trees planted when Gabriel was a teenager, and others that don Gerardo planted when he was even younger. I heard heart-yanking stories of don Gerardo's childhood spent picking coffee beans as a wee one. I learned of the health issues he faced in the days he farmed conventionally and the tipping point that led him to say no more to the toxins that impacted his health and risked that of his family. We all shared ideas and passions about educating the coffee consumer as to why organically farmed coffee was worth the health and the higher prices.
As dusk grew upon us amidst our lively conversations, we sat around the family table, dona Sole whipping out more yummy snacks for us of large chunks of ripe, cooked plantain drizzled with fresh sour cream, a gift to don Gerardo from his brother's farm.
We spoke of ways in which our respective endeavors could continue to work in transparent, collaborative partnership, the pounds of coffee they've set aside for us, and our grounded and lofty dreams of identifying properties that might allow us to set up the Lily Moon Sustainability Lodge project to benefit our coffee farmers, chocolate growers, artisans, and the children of Escuela Nueva de los Altos and others.We spoke of a coffee tour we'll be looking to set up for Primal Echo friends and customers.
With Gabriel, we spoke of ways that we could share with the world that their coffee would now be available in the States through our alliance, our line of Sole coffee, as we take the first steps to make that exciting organic coffee trading activity a reality.

The lack of posts can be easily justified by the explanation

Parma, Italy

The lack of posts can be easily justified by the explanation of the utter chaos and insanity that has been endured in the past 3 weeks of my life. I know most of you come to this blog to read about the adventures of my stomach, but this time the only thing my stomach wanted to do was flip and eject itself from the rest of my body (no I did not suffer a digestive virus).
Here is the a list of events that may contribute to the development of my unforeseen schizophrenia:
1) The organization of Italian Bureaucracy is like a scene out of a 3 stooges film. One person bumping into the next, running in circles around each other trying to feign some thread of structure. This has thus made my immigration process absolutely laughable….to say the least I was given an appointment in MARCH to meet with the immigration office.
2) I currently live in a hotel, and my residence naturally, has been booked by someone else in January, forcing me to find a new place to live in very little time. The upcoming Christmas season does not help.
3) I GOT A JOB! As a gastronomic tour guide for , a food centered travel agency here in Parma. I’ll be giving Americans tours of Parmigiano Reggiano, Prosciutto, and Balsamic Vinegar factories here in the area. They’re even giving me a car!
After all this mess, I’ve come to realize that my life is like a Woody Allen film…only perhaps a little bit less intelligent.
We’ll have to see what’s in store for the next installment of “My Life is a Mess.”
Buon Appetito.

Learning the more scientific merge center from Excel 2007

Learning the more scientific merge center from Excel 2007

As we all know, Excel has a "merge center" function - you can merge multiple cells into one cell. If we want to merge more than one cell of each line into a single cell, you can operate it by only one line in previous versions.
However, you can complete this operation by one-time in Excel 2007. Selected multiple range of cells which need to merge, expand the "Start" menu tab, click the "Merge and Center" button on the right of the drop-down button, and then  elect the "cross merge " option in the pop-up drop-down list.
For some users this feature is really very useful and wonderful, especially for the people who always need to use Excel to work. So, if your work need to use this feature frequently, maybe this is a very good choice.


Introduce the two activation methods of Office 2010

Introduce the two activation methods of Office 2010


1.Multiple Activation Key (MAK)
For each volume version of Microsoft Office 2010, it will provide a unique multiple activation key (MAK) keys to each organization. Then, you must use the Microsoft hosted activation service to implement the activation process  for each computer .
MAK is applicable to the organization which rarely connect to the corporate network (such as portable computers) . Therefore, we must use the MAK key to install, instead of using the KMS client key which default by Microsoft Office 2010 . Use MAK activation, you do not need to renew the activation regularly. If you detect a significant change in the hardware, you must re-activate. In addition, if the activation exceeding the booking restrictions, you must request to allow a greater number of activation. And You must manage the installation of MAK. If not renewed the license of MAK client, it will not lose this functionality. Successfully activated, the user will not receive notification.
2 The Key Management Service (KMS)
Key Management Service (KMS) to allow the local network to activate the product. Thus, a single computer can activate the product without connected to Microsoft. KMS host administrator must enter the KMS host key. KMS host key must be activated and connected to a Microsoft hosted server to activate.
By default, KMS client key has been installed in the version of the program volume of Microsoft Office 2010. It called the KMS client computer by using the KMS key to run the client version of Microsoft Office 2010, the computer is connected to the organization of the KMS host to request activation. End users do not have to do anything, and you do not have to enter the product key KMS client. System administrator must activate the KMS host and configure Microsoft KMS host. KMS client can also configure the variable length of time of re-activation and renewal period.
