Sunday, February 11th, 2007
You are Excel 2007! People trust you to find the right answer. They call you “the wizard” and are in awe of your PivotTable. When you say you love functions, it’s understood that you’re referring to spreadsheets, not social events. You import and export with ease, always maintaining balance. Thanks to your mastery of numbers, people are constantly asking you for help with their own budgets. With the new Microsoft Office Excel 2007, you’ll see how those people can get their own answers – better and faster. They will be amazed that they, too, can create a new chart with only five clicks. You may not have been known as a trendsetter, but your ability to use conditional formatting to “see” new trends was well worth any wait. You can analyze the impressive productivity and efficiency gains in Excel 2007 and prove that the benefits justify the costs. Your favorite new feature in Office 2007 is likely to be the charting feature in Excel 2007. #

Farewell Clippy – You will be greatly missed

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

It is with much sadness that I discovered that Clippy is no more. Clippy was introduced into MS Office 97 and was in all later versions and in Office 2003 was not installed as default. Clippy is now no more part of MS Office 2007.

The probabally best remembered and famous piece of Clippy’s advice was once you have written and an address and then Dear, Clippy would pop up and “It looks like you’re writing a letter. Would you like help?”.

How with such helpful advice can Clippy ever be replaced?

For those who will miss Clippy here is your very own Clippy quote creator

  4. Get rid of your cat.

  6. Christopher Columbus didn’t need directions, and neither do we.
  7. If you think you are fat, you probably are. Don’t ask us.
  8. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a problem. See a doctor.
