MS Office Beta Notes

This is a side-blog where I intend to keep all of my notes from Beta testing new versions of Office. This will keep them all in one place for future reference. I started this with Office 2003, and am bringing it back for the 2007 version. This is not an official Microsoft site, this is just the ramblings of one IT guy.

Minor Outlook annoyances

For some reason, every one in awhile, I'll type up and email, get down to the bottom of it, making sure to drop my cursor down below the bottom ot the text and hit the Signature icon to isert my signature block, and it gets inserted at the top. Not all the time, but sometimes. I don't know why, I don't notice any pattern about when it pops in at the top and when it goes where my cursor is. Weird.

The other odd thing, in the calendar, I can click and drag to highlight a segment of time larger than the default 30 minutes. For example, if I have an appointment starting at 7 until 8:30, I can click the 7-7:30 and mouse down to 8:30 and the entire 90 minutes would be selected. In 2003, when I right click and choose New Appointment, it defaults to 7-8:30, because that is what I had selected. If I right click in 2007 on the selected time, my selection moves to the 30 minute slot I right-clicked in and that's what my appointment is now set to and I have to adjust it. Blah!
