The Complete Guide To MicrosoftsOffice 2010by Leena Rao on July 13, 2009

The web has been abuzz the past few weeks

with chatter about Microsofts announcement

today at its Worldwide Partner Conference in

New Orleans about the new version ofMicrosoftOffice 2010. Theres even a mini-movie about

its debut. Facing potential challenges from Googles browser-based Apps products and

its new Chrome OS, Microsoft has been touting its three screens strategy, which is

the ability for products to synchronize across the phone, browser, and desktop, for some

time now.

With the release of Office 2010, SharePoint Server 2010 and Visio 2010, we finally see

he Complete Guide To Microsofts Office 2010

the implementation of Microsoft Chief Software Architect Ray Ozziesmantra. We had

the opportunity to see an in-depth demo of the new suite of products from Microsofts

Group Product Manager for Office 2010, Chris Bryant. Heres a complete breakdown of

all the functionality that has been added, including screenshots:

The Move To The Browser

Most certainly a direct response to Google Apps, Microsoft is rolling out lightweight,

FREE, Web browser versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel and OneNote. All based in the

cloud, the web-based versions of these products have fewer features than their desktop

cousins but still give users basic tools to edit and change documents.

Pow erPoint 2010

PowerPoint has been upgraded not only with a new browser version, but also a slew of

bells and whistles have been added to the desktop version. Users now have thecapability of editing video and images within PowerPoint with a basic video editing tool

(not so different from the capabilities of iMovie) and an image editing tool, which is like

basic, simple version of Adobe Photoshop. Microsoft has also added the ability for users

to launch a WebEx-like live sharing feature with other users. So if you create a slideshow

in PowerPoint, you can share it with other people in real-time (which can be run on top

of Sharepoint).

Heres what the video editing tools look like in PowerPoint:

To share a deck with other users, you send an email to individuals with a link. Once they

click the link, they will see the slideshow within the browser. This feature can also be

used on a mobile phones browser. You can also create a slideshow in the desktop

version and then publish it to the web version to access it via the browser. The browser

version of PowerPoint doesnt include the video editing features, but most of thefunctionality of 2008 is included in the browser version.

Excel 2010

Excel spreadsheets can now run in the browser, and similar to PowerPoint, spreadsheets

can be published to the browser via the desktop version. The browser version of Excel

has limited features, but offers more in-depth functionality than Google Spreadsheets.

Microsoft has added a particularly innovative feature called Sparklines, which gives a

visual snapshot image of a data trend over time within a cell. You can also share Excelvia the browser with other users and set special permissions on who can access the

document.

Heres what the web version of Excel looks like:



4/43


Word 2010

Bryant says that the number one piece of feedback from users producing documents onMicrosoft Word is that they want to preserve the look and feel of a document created in

the desktop version in the browser. Microsoft calls this document fidelity and created

the browser version of MS Word accordingly. In the browser, documents retain the same

look and feel as in the desktop. The browser version still has the ribbon user interface,

where you can change fonts, size, formatting, styles etc.

An image of the web version of Word:



5/43


Microsoft has also updated the desktop version to have collaborative features so that

multiple users can be editing a document at once. This collaboration is not available inthe web version, unfortunately. Microsoft says that users dont want this feature but this

might be a move to protect the Office revenue model.

When two people are editing the same document (in the desktop version) at the same

time, Word will notify each user when there are changes that need to be synced with

their document. The copy/paste function of the desktop version has also received an

upgrade, where you can see see a live preview for the paste function. The paste function

also has an advanced option to create and insert screenshots. To make moving around along document easier, Word now has a visual navigation pane and section header

breakdown which makes it easy to jump around different sections of a document.



6/43


Outlook 2010

Outlook 2010 now has a ribbon user interface, like Word, PowerPoint and Excel. The UI

of email conversations has been upgraded to look almost like a message tree, allowing

users a more visual view of sent and incoming emails. Search functionality has been

improved as well, making it much easier to find content. Also, you can preview calendar

in emails and choose to ignore selective email conversations.



7/43


Sharepoint 2010

Like Outlook, Sharepoint now gets a ribbon UI, making the document-hosting product

more similar to Microsofts flagship products, like Word. You can tag authors of

documents now and can share documents and files more easily.

Microsoft says that its browser versions have been tested on all major browsers aside

from internet Explorer, including Firefox and Safari. Office 2010 is still being tested and

reworked to function on Chrome. Microsoft also announced that it is streamlining the

number of Office editions from eight to five. Office Web applications will be available inthree ways: through Windows Live, where consumers will have access to Office Web

applications at no cost; via on-premises versions; and via Microsoft Online Services,

where customers will be able to purchase a subscription of MS Office. Microsoft says

Office 2010 will be available in the first half of next year.

The key part of all of this news is the free, browser-based versions of Microsofts most

popular Office products. Bryant says that Microsoft expects the browser products to be

especially popular amongst student, but I think that the web-based applications will be



8/43


hugely popular in the enterprise space as well, as long as there are security precautions

taken to put documents in a secure part of the cloud.

But as more and more businesses are becoming comfortable with trusting cloud

environments, Microsofts move to the browser could pay off in a big way, especially

because its so easy to use both the desktop and browser versions of products

interchangeably. The more successful Microsoft is in its browser strategy, the more theyvalidate Googles approach in the space, which will eventually put price pressure on

Office.

visual snapshot image of a data trend over time within a cell. - Microsoft is just catching

p to features that should have been in Excel 2007.

he theory of sparklines (small, intense, simple datawords) along with many practicalxamples of recent sparkline developments can be found in a 5 year old book - Edward

When it comes to business graphics and data visualization with Excel, Microsoft provides

KJG - July 15th, 2009 at 5:44 am PDT

s a fine format, its just that they used a different (admittedly inferior) one for decades

would have recommended either that at first, they should have thought of a more compa

ormat; or that they keep the one theyve got as new formats (especially ones that dont

ccomplish anything new except compression) tend to confuse people and cause

ompatibility problems. (Unless, of course, you use OpenOffice 3, which supports all MSO

ormats.)
