Hi everyone, recently I acquired a copy of Office 2010 Technical Preview (early version?).

Here are a few screen shots from the x64 version of the "Office Professional Plus 2010" that was part of the package.
I only installed the Excel & Word programs of this suite.

Send-a-Smile (or Frown) to the Office Team





Word Zoom tool @ the bottom of the window, I didn't notice it in Word 7

The zoom tool is the same in Office 2007. I mainly know this because I got a document recently that was zoomed in to 200% (no idea why) and was looking all over for the zoom so that I could take it back to 100%

The open beta of Office 2010 TP Click-To-Run (C2R) started last week.

C2R is a Virtual Office suite.

Here are some screenshots

Edit: OK, I just noticed that I didnt inform those here that may be thinking "why only a Virtual Office", that MS also does offer the usual/ISO type of install for Office 2010 & its the Professional version.

Just an FYI for anyone using this. The 64-bit builds of Office 2010 do not appear to be compatible with ActiveSync/WMDC, particularly the Outlook portion. However, the standard x86 builds still work. Hope they get that fixed before RTM or that is going to cause thousands of issues and problems, especially for business users.

I grabbed a copy of the new Office 2010 C2R today, here is what the Help/Information says.




I installed it (the 32-bit version) in Windows 7 x64, it runs quite good (faster)
