We are currently embracing Office 2007 at work. Its an odd experience. whilst i really like some of the functionality in Outlook, and don’t really feel too offended by outlook and word, it doesn’t help that I don;t know where absolutely everything is. There is definitely a learning curve….

I currently wonder how much of an advantage it can be. Which just about sums me up currently, laziness rocks.

Is there much advantage in the new .docx file format? do I lose much by remaining backwards compatible? hmmm. choices, choices.

I have been using Colibri for a while to make it easier to open new programmes. Insead of using my mouse to hunt around the start menu, or having 1001 shortcuts on my desktop, I can now hit CTRL+Space and then start typing the name of the program i want to launch.

Today, after a brief look at the Tips&Tricks for Colibri and afetr downloading SQLLite Browser I have added a new shortcuts folder, and now can make links to frequently visited places on the companies different file shares.

Makes my life easier.
