opinions/tricks/tips for Office 2010

[Marin85]

Hi,

I have been playing with Office 2010 trial for a week or so now, so I was thinking it may be interesting to make a thread gathering some good tricks/tips for Office 2010 as well as ThinkPadders opinions

To start with, I found the new "intelligent" grouping feature in Outlook 2010 a little bit confusing/obscure (for me) because, only based on email titles, it grouped various emails in conversations that were actually not part of any conversation and were just stand-alone. It took me a while to find how to bring back the classic non-grouping mode from Outlook 2007. It turned out be a simple setting in the "view" pane...

I also like the fact that both the new PowerPoint and Outlook got equipped with M$ equation edittor, so it is not a hassle anymore to occasionally add some simple equation to a presentation or an email. It is a mistery to me why M$ hadn´t included it in PowerPoint 2007... Of course, TeX is the better alternative to PowerPoint for making presentations full of mathematical objects, but for non-mathematical presentations PowerPoint seems to be easier

There appear to be user-friendlier shareware alternatives to M$ equation editor like Mathtype and TexPoint plug-ins/add-ons, but, frankly, I am not very fascinated by these as far as my experience with them goes... Also, in order fot the embedded equations in emails to be displayed properly for the recipient, the latter has to use Outlook 2007 or 2010 (not sure about Outlook 2003). Other e-mail clients like ThinderBird are apparently yet not able to display these objects correctly.

Cheers,

Marin
