Word case costs $40M to Microsoft

In the patent-infringement case against Microsoft Word, a Texas judge fined Microsoft $40 million for trial misconduct after a Microsoft attorney attempted to liken plaintiff i4i's motives for suing the software giant to banks seeking government bailouts.

During the jury trial in May, Judge Leonard Davis warned attorney Matthew Douglas Powers - of the Redwood City, Calif., law firm Weil Gotshal & Manges - that he was misstating the law when he suggested to the jury that i4i was improperly suing Microsoft, not to protect its patent but to just get money.

Backstage Concept in Office 2010

[original.jpg]

Office 2010 also replaces the old File menu with a new interface called Backstage. This view, which is triggered by clicking the application button, takes up the entire application window and represents the "behind the scenes” operations that you can perform on the currently loaded document." It's also the place where you can access application options and other items that were previously found in the File menu, including Print, another essential, or core, Office capability. (In Backstage parlance, the document content is considered "on stage.")


Instead of launching a menu of choices, Backstage pops-up a window-like view where you can quickly perform tasks like saving and printing files and configuring preferences. Quick access to permissions, document meta-data under document info is also there.Hands on & you might find you like Backstage even more. For example, you can preview a document right from the “Print” settings so you don’t have to go to a separate “Print Preview” area anymore. Clicking ‘Print’ under the Office 2010 button opens a plethora of printing options. No need go through a ‘Print Wizard’ you can select all your print options from here & hit print.

New features to Office 2010


Office 2010 offers a few interesting if general new features.

1.The product will support "high definition" content, such as better-looking special effects, transitions, and images in applications like Excel and PowerPoint. It will also support advanced visualizations.
2. will support Microsoft's "work anywhere" notion via high-fidelity pass-through of documents between the PC desktop, the web, and mobile devices.
The Office Web Applications, which are of course, brand new, will open up Office tremendously, allowing customers to access their documents from anywhere, even if the PC they're using is not their own and does not have Office installed. Somewhat like Googgle Docs.
This is an interesting approach for taking a software suite and positioning it in the cloud computing generation. OS:Like Windows Azure
3.All Office applications will be available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions in Office 2010
4. It will allow users to connect and collaborate in real time, both on the PC desktop and on the web

System requirements for office 2010 are :


1. Office 2010 will be available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. You need not to worry about the version of windows you are using.You would be asked to choose between 32 & 64 @ time of installation.


2. Office 2010 will run on Windows XP SP3, Windows Vista, and Windows 7.


3. You don't need to replace hardware that is capable of running 2007, it will support Office 2010. Like Windows 7 has demonstrated, MS realize that taking advantage of the hardware you already own is just as important as supporting all the new technology coming out.

Microsoft Office 2010 TP Activation Confusion

There have been some confusion regarding Activation of Office 2010 Technical Preview (TP), as it has been discussed in forums and Newsgroups. Here’s the clarification which should clear this doubt.

I hope you all got Invites for Microsoft Office 2010 from Microsoft Connect to be among the first people in the world to experience Office 2010, and have already obtained the Key and installed it. Let us start right from the installation. When you start the installation, it will ask for the Product Key.

So once installation is successful let us focus on Activation part, where the confusion is. If the checked box shown in above picture is checked and you are connected to net, the product will be activated automatically. To check this, Open Word or any other Office Product, Click on Office button on top left and click on ‘Word’, don’t click on ‘options’ just below it.

Actually it shows 2 messages (I have shown in 2 different colored outlines ) , One with Red Outline says ‘You have a license for this product’ ,This is for Microsoft Office Professional 2010, So your product is already activated. And below it there’s another (shown in blue outline) which says ‘You are running a trial version of’ with a button ‘Licensing Operations’. DON’T CLICK ON IT TO ACTIVATE. It also shows ‘This product will become unlicensed in …. days’ . Don’t confuse with this, this is for other product which is not related to ours. Our product is Microsoft Office Professional 2010 (Technical Preview) which is already activated as I said earlier.

Our Friend Vasudevg has resolved the confusion.Read more here

Microsoft Office users attacked by cybercriminals

Microsoft Corp warned that cybercriminals have attacked users of its Office software for Windows PCs, exploiting a programing flaw that the software giant has yet to repair.

The world's largest software maker issued the warning on Tuesday as it released patches to address nine other security holes in its software.

"Despite today's fixes, Windows users continue to be under attack. Microsoft is taking two steps forward, while attackers are putting it one step back," said Dave Marcus, McAfee Inc's Avert Labs director of security research.

Cybercriminals target Microsoft programs because they are so widely used, allowing them to go after the largest number of potential victims with one set of code. (Windows runs more than 90 percent of the world's PCs. Office has some 500 million users).

Hackers take advantage of the Office vulnerability by booby-trapping websites with malicious code that loads onto computers running Office software. Infected PCs are commandeered into a botnet, a network of hijacked computers. They are used for identity theft, spamming and other cybercrimes.

Microsoft did not say how many machines were attacked.

Users can prevent attacks by disabling functions within the Office software that allow it to work over the Web. Microsoft has posted a tool for doing that on its website -- here

Office XP, 2003 and 2007 are vulnerable to the attacks.

Microsoft Office 2010 Starts Ascension to the Cloud

Microsoft Word 2010MicrosoftA screen shot of the word processing application in Office 2010, which will allow more than one user to edit a document at the same time.

Microsoft’s saunter toward providing all of its Office software online continues this week with a preview of its Office 2010 software.

Unlike more Webby types that throw their code willy-nilly into the Internet cloud under a beta tag, Microsoft remains committed to its protracted, multistep software release process. On Monday, Microsoft will announce the “technical preview engineering milestone” for Office 2010, which means that tens of thousands of people — many of them software engineering partners — can download the software and give it a test drive.

At the end of the year, Microsoft expects to release a proper public beta for the software, and it intends to ship a final version off to PC makers in the first half of 2010.

Ultimately, anyone who signs up for a free Windows Live account will be able to use online versions of applications like Word and PowerPoint, regardless of whether or not they buy the desktop versions of the software. This is Microsoft’s response to Google, Adobe, Zoho and others that offer online productivity software free for personal use.

Corporate customers will be able to tap into the online services as well through a couple of paid subscription options. Smaller customers could sign up for a service in which Microsoft would store their online files and help with things like security and data backup. Large customers that already have Office licenses could have Microsoft host their information or store it in-house.

All told, Microsoft says about 400 million people already have a Windows Live account through services like Hotmail and Messenger, and 90 million more corporate customers have Office subscriptions. So, the company is boasting that half a billion people will have ready access to Office 2010 online next year.

Microsoft rejects criticism that it’s late to the online party, saying that competitors have just been playing a major game of catch-up.

“Lots of competitors are doing nothing beyond copying what we have done in our product for years,” said Chris Capossela, a senior vice president in Microsoft’s business division. “They have weekly releases to add things like bold and italics and more than four fonts. We have to redefine what productivity means to 500 million people.”

As you might expect, Office 2010 has tools for letting people collaboratively work on documents, presentations and other projects at the same time over the Internet.

Microsoft has also spiced up applications like PowerPoint by making it easier to add high-definition video into projects. Microsoft has software that compresses the files down, and it has a tool that will produce a Web address for the presentation that can be sent to coworkers or customers.

“Anyone can get that address and then have a slideshow come up,” Mr. Capossela said. “We call it just-in-time show-and-tell.”

Microsoft appears to have added some nice tweaks to Outlook as well.

Microsoft promises public beta of Office 2010

http://ivory.vnunet.com/images/microsoft-sign/medium.jpg

Microsoft has denied rumours that it will not run a public beta programme for its forthcoming Office 2010 suite.

A company spokesperson said that Microsoft will follow its regular development pattern, and allow the public to get their hands on working beta copies of the office applications package.

"Although we are not disclosing a date for the public beta, there definitely will be one. This development cycle for Office is no different than in years past, " the spokesperson said.

"In the third quarter of this year, Office 2010 will enter technical preview, which is an invite-only programme, and this will be followed by a public beta where millions can try out Office."

Microsoft's statement came shortly after word broke that the upcoming version of Office would not be available as a public beta.

Office 2010 will be the first major update of the company's productivity suite since Office 2007 was released alongside Windows Vista in January 2007.

Like its predecessor, development of Office 2010 is taking place as Microsoft readies its next version of Windows. The company is expected to publish the first release candidates for Windows 7 in May, and possibly ship a final version by the fourth quarter of this year.

Office 14 to ship in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors

http://www.neowin.net/images/news/newlogos/OfficeLogo.png

Beta releases have become a great way to discover potentialy unannounced products by snooping around in the files that accompany the beta. Ed Bott did said snooping and is now claiming that Office 14 will ship in 32-bit and 64-bit flavors.

Located within the Migwiz.xml file shows the code extensions that prove that a 64-bit version does exist.



This is great news for users that can take advantage of the 64-bit flavor and should come as welcomed news that Microsoft is expanding support for 64-bit. One day soon we will hopefully be able to drop 32-bit forever.

Office 14 crawls toward beta

Just because Office 14 won't be fully released until next year doesn't mean consumers will have to wait that long to try out the products.
In an interview this week Senior Vice President Chris Capossela said that Microsoft will offer more details on the beta "relatively soon," noting that Office has traditionally made its products available to millions of testers well before the final version ships.
"That's been true of the suite," he said. "That will certainly be true of the suite this time and of the Web apps."
With Office 14, Microsoft has said it will offer desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote as well as versions that can run online in a browser, be it Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox. As previously noted, that means that for the first time Office will also work on both Linux and Apple's iPhone. CEO Steve Ballmer told financial analysts last week that Office 14 would not come out this year.
Microsoft has already started testing some of the components that make up the Office 14 wave of products. Capossela wouldn't go into too many specifics about when Office 14 would ship, but said Microsoft hoped not to be too far beyond its typical cycle which sees new versions roughly every three years.

MS Office - Create a Pie/Bar Chart

Follow these steps to create a chart, such as a bar chart or a pie chart.

  1. On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
  2. In the Object type box, click Microsoft Graph Chart, and then click OK.

    Microsoft Graph displays a chart and its associated sample data in a table called a datasheet.

  3. To replace the sample data, click a cell (cell: A box formed by the intersection of a row and column in a worksheet or a table, in which you enter information.) on the datasheet, and then type the new text or numbers. If needed, you can import data from a text file, a Lotus 1-2-3 file, or a Microsoft Excel worksheet. You can also copy data from another program.
  4. To return to Microsoft Word, click the Word document.

Note If you close the datasheet you can reopen it by double-clicking the chart and then clicking Datasheet on the View menu.

Create a Chart from Word Table
  1. Create a table in Word, with text labels in the top row and left column, and numbers in other cells.

    How ?

  2. Microsoft Word offers a number of ways to make a table (table: One or more rows of cells commonly used to display numbers and other items for quick reference and analysis. Items in a table are organized into rows and columns.). The best way depends on how you like to work, and on how simple or complex the table needs to be.

    1. Click where you want to create a table.
    2. Click Insert Table Button image on the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar, press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.).
    3. Drag to select the number of rows and columns you want.
  3. Click in the table.
  4. On the Table menu, point to Select, and then click Table.
  5. On the Insert menu, click Object, and then click the Create New tab.
  6. In the Object type box, double-click Microsoft Graph Chart.

    Word displays a chart with the information from the table you created. The data associated with the chart is in a table called a datasheet.

    You can edit the data in the chart by clicking a cell on the datasheet and revising the entry.

  7. To return to Word, click the Word document.
Change the chart to another chart type

Use these steps to change the chart to another chart type, such as a pie chart or a bar chart.

  1. On the Chart menu, click Chart Type.
  2. Choose a chart type from the options on the Standard Types and Custom Types tabs.

MS Office - Creating XY (Scatter) and Line charts

XY (Scatter) charts and Line charts look very similar, especially when a Scatter chart is displayed with connecting lines. However, there's a big difference in the way each of them displays data. The main difference is the way each of these chart types plots data on the x-axis.

For example, let's examine how the same daily rainfall and particulate data of the following worksheet is displayed in a Scatter chart and a Line chart.

Picture of daily rainfall worksheet data

When you use this worksheet data to create a Scatter chart, the daily rainfall values from column A of the worksheet will be displayed as x-values on the horizontal axis, and the particulate values from column B will be displayed as y-values on the vertical axis, as shown in the following picture.

Picture of a scatter chart

The first data point to appear in the Scatter chart represents both a y-value of 137 (particulate) and an x-value of 1.9 (daily rainfall). These numbers come from both columns of row 9 on the worksheet.

In the following Line chart, however, the same daily rainfall and particulate data is displayed as two separate data points, which are evenly distributed along the horizontal axis.

Picture of a line chart

Notice how the particulate y-value of 137 and the daily rainfall x-value of 1.9 are displayed as separate data points in this Line chart. Neither of these data points are the first data point displayed in the chart — instead, the first data point for each of the data series (data series: Related data points that are plotted in a chart. Each data series in a chart has a unique color or pattern and is represented in the chart legend. You can plot one or more data series in a chart. Pie charts have only one data series.) comes from the first data row (row 2) of the worksheet.

Create a Scatter or Line chart

  1. Arrange your data so that the x-values are in the first row or column of your worksheet, and the y-values are located in adjacent rows or columns.
  2. Select the range of x- and y-values that you want to plot in the chart.
  3. Click Chart on the Insert menu to start the Chart Wizard.
  4. In the Chart type box, select XY (Scatter) or Line.
  5. Under Chart sub-type, click the chart sub-type you want to use.

    For a quick preview of the chart you are creating, click Press and Hold to View Sample.

  6. Click Next, and continue with steps 2 through 4 of the Chart Wizard.

    For help on any of the steps, click the question mark (?) on the Chart Wizard title bar.
