Microsoft Office 2010 Reviews

NotebookReview reviews the Microsoft Point 2010 and writes;

“Microsoft Outlook 2010 is much more easy to use than its predecessors, ribbon interface notwithstanding. Tasks have been streamlined, especially with Quick Steps, and the Social Connector at least acknowledges that email isn’t the sole – or even primary – method of online communication today. If you use a previous version of Outlook to manage your communications or appointments, Outlook 2010 will legitimately enable you to manage those tasks more efficiently…”

“Embedding videos from websites such as YouTube is now phenomenally easy; simply click the Insert | Video icon and select the From Web Site option. You’re presented with a text field for pasting the embedded code provided by YouTube or a similar site..Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 gains some solid ground over PowerPoint 2007, especially if you regularly build media-rich presentations..”

NotebookReview reviews the Microsoft Excel 2010 and writes;

“For those of you who create custom reports and pivot tables in Excel, Sparklines and Slicers are two new Excel 2010 toys designed explicitly for you. Sparklines are miniature graphs that fit inside single worksheet cells. Got a long line of weekly data returns that you want summed up briefly? Add a sparkline to the end of the row and demonstrate the ebb and flow quickly and easily. These tiny graphs are a handy way to save screen and print-out real estate…”

NotebookReview reviews the Microsoft Word 2010 and writes;

“..the Paste Review function. In previous versions of MS Word, pasting text from other sources meant dragging the formatting of the copied text along with it. The new in-line editing menu, which appears when you right-click a spot in your document, gives you the option to paste your clipboard text with the formatting intact, paste it as plain text, or to merge the formatting…”

“Whichever version of Office you get, you’re getting something you didn’t get before: OneNote and the web apps in all the versions, Publisher in the Professional version..In Word (and PowerPoint and OneNote but not Excel) you can edit a document at the same time as someone else as long as it’s stored on SkyDrive – and it’s easy to save documents straight there from the desktop menu, so collaboration isn’t limited to businesses with SharePoint…”

“Excel’s conditional formatting has been improved with more logical defaults and the ability to pick individual icons from icon sets. There are new tools for visualising data including Sparklines and Slicers…”

PCmag reviews the Microsoft Office 2010 and writes;

“Picture-editing options available in most Office applications include a new “remove background” feature that isn’t perfect, but works surprisingly well. You also get easy access to markers and Photoshop-wannabe effects like blurs and pastels. Graphic effects for text such as outlined letters and gradient fills have finally been updated to the same level of visual sophistication available for charts. An Insert Screenshot icon on the ribbon makes it blissfully easy to illustrate your documents with anything you can display on your screen…”

Guardian reviews the Microsoft Office 2010 and writes;

“Pros: richer multimedia tools, ability to use apps free online and to collaborate online.
Cons: Bound to be expensive, sheer size of suite and variety of tools can be confusing.”

CNET reviews the Microsoft Office 2010 and writes;

“In Outlook, it’s now possible to turn long e-mail threads into conversations, so you can quickly find information from specific participants without having to scroll through long, confusing threads. Another new feature lets you ignore entire threads including future e-mails on a subject so you can eliminate noise and distractions in your workday…”

PC Advisor reviews the Microsoft Office 2010 and writes;

“The most visible manifestation can be found in Microsoft Outlook…In its place is a new, four-tab Ribbon that helps to surface much of Outlook’s hidden workflow power while bringing the overall user experience in line with the rest of the suite. Add to this some much needed Windows 7 Jump List integration and suddenly Outlook feels less like the neglected stepchild of the Office world and more like the well-integrated cog it has always longed to be.”

TechReviewSource reviews the Microsoft Office 2010 and writes;

“The Share menu in the Office app tab gives you an enormous variety of options to share a document. It allows easily export to an e-mail message, a PDF version, a XPS document, an Internet fax, and an online blog entry…”
