 Publisher 2007 and Publisher 2010‘s most notable difference is the ribbon. Unlike Word, Excel and other Microsoft Office 2007 programs, which sported the new ribbon interface, Publisher 2007 retained the traditional toolbar of previous Office versions. The toolbar has been upgraded to the ribbon in Publisher 2010. The Mailings tab of the ribbon makes it even easier to perform mail merges in Publisher 2010, and the ribbon boasts a number of new tools and features that were not present on the toolbar in Publisher 2007.
 
 Although it does include the ribbon, the Office Button that replaced the File menu in Office 2007 is no more. It has been exchanged for a File tab that directs you to what is known as Backstage View. Backstage makes it easy for you to find many functions and features you need when working with Publisher, such as templates, recent files and the Print menu.
 
 Publisher 2007 enabled you to save publications as PDF files, provided you downloaded an add-in. No add-in is necessary in Publisher 2010. Simply select PDF or XPS as the file type on the Save dialog.
 
 Publisher 2010 also includes a cleaner workspace, improved photo editing tools and easier access to a wide variety of templates and building blocks compared to Publisher 2007
 
 Another promising new aspect of Publisher 2010 is the Layout section of the Page Design tab, which includes a variety of guides and alignment settings.
 
 As noted, the Publisher 2010 Backstage is loaded with beneficial features. Here, you can quickly edit business information, run the Design Checker tool and manage commercial print information. On theShare menu you can preview how the publication will appear in an html email message, save the publication for a commercial printer and more
 
 
 
 

 Publisher 2010 with new and improved features :
 So, the photo editing improvements for Office didn’t make it into Publisher 2010. Well, what has changed? In addition to getting the Ribbon and Office button and sharing a common look and feel with the rest of the Office 2010 suite, there are also a few Publisher-specific improvements.
 Workspace
 
 New visual page navigation with nice sized page / spread thumbnail previews
 Template layouts preserved when substituting, cropping, or otherwise manipulating images in a template
 Object outlines only appear on hover or when an object is selected
 Page margin guides can appear as you drag the edge of an object near them and then disappear when not needed
 Automatic alignment guides that only appear when relevant
 Images/Type
 
 Picture manipulation improvements including picture insertion, alignment, panning, cropping
 Text formatting improvements including ligatures (with OpenType fonts – also in Word 2010) and Stylistic text — with previews (for adding flourishes)
 Printing/Sharing
 
 With Publisher 2010，Print preview is no longer a separate feature, it’s integrated into the Print functions in the Backstage View
 Print preview lets you ‘flip’ 2-sided documents to see more easily how it will print on each side
 Backstage View is where you’ll also find the commands for saving Publisher files as PDF or XPS and commercial printing options
 
 Watch Publisher 2010 in Action
 
 Microsoft Publisher 2010 From Microsoft. See the interface and some of the features such as the Stylistic text.
 Microsoft Publisher 2010 Sneak Peek From a user. No sound. See the different tabs on the ribbon and use of the Backstage View to select a template and save the file.
 And in this quick first look you can see screenshots I made during the process of creating a simple template-based greeting card using Publisher 2010.

Office 2007,2010 common installation problems and solutions
Office 2007,2010 in the process of installation,we will sometimes meet some problems. How to resolve these problem, we will talk about it in the following.
First, confirm the contents before installing Office 2007,2010
1, Whether the installation program source is reliable? It is best not to use a modified version of the network, we recommend using the official original.

2, the version of Office is to support current operating systems, including Service Pack also need to confirm support.

3, the current account has permission to install.

Second, uninstall and clean install or uninstall the previous residual files
The installation problems, need to confirm the existence of the last completed not install or uninstall Office files and directories, if you uninstall the previous installation fails or is not clean, may affect the results of this installation.

1, the priority to use Microsoft’s official clean-up program, click on download: Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. After installation, run the Windows Install Clean Up, if you uninstall Office 2007/2010 and other versions of the directory that list, just select (hold down SHIFT + left mouse button multiple choice), and then click to clean up, clean up after retry the installation again.

If Windows 7 has encountered a problem installing Office 2007/2010, first to use the tool to clean it, then:

A. Clean up the registry in two:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Office

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ Software \ Microsoft \ Office

B. Open the Program files folder, delete the “Microsoft Office”, “OfficeUpdate”, “OfficeUpdate14″

C. clean up temporary files in the Start menu, enter “% Temp%” and press enter, empty the temporary files, if some files can not be removed, you can ignore.

D. Restart the computer try installing again.

2, many of the program is not installed, may not have had time to enter the program group, if the Windows Install Clean Up does not install the residue found, you can use third-party uninstall or clean-up procedures, such as clean up the perfect unloading. Or use the clean-up days to write their own scripts margin: Office 2007,2010 uninstall cleanup issues and the batch

Hardware compatibility and requirements
Windows 7 Much like the application compatibility issues, adopting Windows Vista early-on was a challenge because of the higher system requirements—such as RAM and graphics. On the flip side, Windows Vista provides manageability and security that just isn’t available on Windows XP, and with more capable hardware, Windows Vista is able to perform a number of useful functions that improve productivity (such as Windows Search 4 and the Windows Aero desktop experience) and increase PC responsiveness (the ReadyBoost technology launches applications more quickly by maintaining a portion of frequently used applications in
memory).

Windows 7 was designed to perform well on the same hardware that runs Windows Vista well, while delivering additional performance and reliability improvements. The design team for Windows 7 had a specific focus on the fundamentals—as well as maintaining compatibility with existing applications and hardware. In operation, you will find that Windows 7 boots faster and has a smaller memory footprint than Windows Vista.

Control the application portfolio available to end users
Windows 7 features AppLocker, a new capability that allows IT administrators to specify which applications are permitted to run on a laptop or desktop PC. This capability helps you manage license compliance and control access to sensitive programs, but also importantly, it helps reduce the opportunity for malware to run on client PCs. AppLocker provides a powerful rule-based structure for specifying which applications can run, and includes “publisher
rules” that keeps the rules intact though version updates.

Troubleshoot faster and more effectively
Windows 7 provides rich tools to identify and resolve technical issues, often by the end users themselves. If a help desk call is unavoidable, Windows 7 includes several features and troubleshooting tools to help speed resolution.

The Problem Steps Recorder allows end users to reproduce and record their experience with an application failure, with each step recorded as a screen shot along with accompanying logs and software configuration data. A compressed file is then created that can be forwarded to support staff to help troubleshoot the problem.Windows 7 includes a suite of troubleshooting packs, collections of PowerShell scripts, and related information that can be executed remotely by IT professionals from the command line, and controlled on the enterprise basis through Group Policy Settings.Windows 7 also includes Unified Tracing to help identify and resolve network connectivity issues in a single tool. Unified Tracing collects event logs and captures packets across all layers of the networking stack, providing an integrated view into what’s happening in the Windows 7 networking stack and aiding analysis and problem resolution.

The Standard edition of Project 2007 – as well as the Professional edition – is a pretty hefty piece of software. This is one of the first negatives that can be said about any of the Microsoft Office Suite products. They all are huge programs requiring a significant amount of disk space. The installation is fairly straightforward and if you choose a Typical installation, it becomes an exercise in Next -> Next -> Next -> Finish. Depending on your needs, you may want to choose a Custom installation but if you already have other Office products installed, you’re better off not trying to change the default path. You want to install Project into the same path as the rest of your Office products.

When you first launch Project 2007 – after getting past the obligatory Microsoft welcome screen – you are presented with an empty Gantt chart. Assuming you already have all of your project planning done, you can immediately get started by inputing tasks within the left pane. The right pane displays the data in a summary bar chart, and this can also be adjusted as necessary.

Project 2007 has a fairly robust reporting engine as well. By clicking on the Report -> Reports… menu item, you choose from different reports organized by category. The Workload category for instance provides you access to reports concerning resource usage or task usage. Or you can view different scenarios using the Assignments… reporting category. By clicking on the Report -> Visual Reports… menu item, you get access to a large number of templates for reporting purposes. Project again shows its usability in virtually all environments due to the number of options available. This is another example of how the software can be daunting to small or very basic environments however.

The Standard version of Project 2007 is a fairly robust project management tool. There are tools for managing resources and costs. There is a very robust reporting system within the software as well. The creation of Gantt charts and task management is simple as well, making this a very useful tool in general. The application’s robust tools however can be a positive or it can be a negative, depending on your project management infrastructure. For smaller environments, the software can definitely be overkill.

Project 2007 can handle any project management scenarios, but the problem is that there’s almost too much to the software package that becomes unnecessary in certain circumstances. If you add to that the cost of the software, this is definitely a negative investment for smaller project management environments. But for all other scenarios, Project 2007 can handle it all. The features missing in the Standard edition deal with collaboration and teamwork. But these are provided amply within the Professional and Server versions, which will be dealt with more in-depth in part 3 of this review.

Although Office 2010 version what was leaked before is just a technical version, but I believe that friends like to experience the new software already installed this version, here introduce practical tips:
 
 Interception of the current window
 
 Office 2010 we know, WindowsVista started, the system has built a “capture tool” of the component, can partially replace the third-party screenshot tool, but now we can complete the cut directly in the Office2010 screen operation, can be more convenient .
 
 Office 2010 Switch to Word2010 or Excel2010 the “Insert” tab, we can “Illustrations” functional group found in a file called “Screenshot” button, here to support a variety of cut-off-screen mode, click the “Screenshot” button, we can found in the currently open window here, screen shots, click to insert after the current document selected.
 
 Office 2010 If you select “ScreenClipping”, return to the desktop can be found when the mouse cursor has become a fine cross, press the left mouse button to intercept the corresponding images, release the mouse can return the document window, just the interception of the screen will automatically enter the current document.
 
 If you are PowerPoint2010 presentation window, switch to the “Insert” tab, “Screenshot” button on the location to the “Images” feature set, we can also quickly insert the current window where the thumbnail or the interception of the window.

Microsoft Office still seemed new and exciting back in the 1990s,. Users were amazed by its powers: it highlighted typos, suggested grammatical changes and automatically recognised when you needed an accent on a foreign word or needed to renumber a PowerPoint list. It could do your sums for you and create graphs from sets of figures. It could even supply presentation handout notes as aides-memoires.
 
 Microsoft Office 2010 Back then the Office productivity suite of tools was almost universally used and widely admired (a few security exploits notwithstanding). Encouraged by the praise heaped on what was to become the most successful program of its type, Microsoft added more and more features and bulked out the number of programs and variety of editions customers could choose from. The result: too much choice and too much bloat, cried commentators.
 
 Microsoft Office 2010 in the days of Windows XP, a feature-laden copy of Office Professional was accused of taking up far more than its share of system resources. With less than 1GB of RAM powering the programs on the average home PC, the dictionaries and templates, Clippy the assistant and the context-based help began to rile consumers who simply wanted to type a letter or fill in their household expenses spreadsheet.
 
 Microsoft Office 2010 responded to the criticism by reining in Office’s intrusions. Microsoft Office 2007 saw the introduction of a ribbon menu that made it easier to get to the items related to your current task, rather than interrupting you to check that you are doing things Microsoft’s way. Intended to be a less overblown take on Office, however, the 2007 version was berated for making unnecessary alterations to a largely successful interface. Many people never upgraded from Office 2003, while plenty still use earlier versions.
