Powerful new tools to express your ideas, solve problems, and connect with people.
We reviewed the Office 2010 Technical Preview earlier this past summer and we liked what we saw. There isn't a whole lot of changes between the two, but just a few minor interface tweaks. If you wish to read our full review of the Office 2010 Technical Preview, you can do so here. We aren't intending on writing another review since this current beta 2 release is mostly the same, so the old review still is accurate. This pictorial review of the beta 2 leaked version is build number 14.0.4514.1007, which is very close to the 14.0.4536.1000 build that Microsoft will release within the next few days. If we stumble across any new features in the new leaked beta 2 build or in the official release Microsoft has been hinting at next week, we will be sure to do a complete writeup.
It should be mentioned that these new builds that have surfaced require a product key during the first step of installation, which is different from previous versions where you could skip entering a product key during installation. Also, product keys that were given out as part of the Technical Preview a few months ago still work and activate with these beta 2 builds.
Like stated above, the only major changes from the Technical Preview that we can see is interface tweaks. In the Technical Preview, the first tab in the ribbon was of the Office suite logo, but now it is just "File" and the "backstage" interface that is triggered with this button has been tweaked too. In the Open section of Word's backstage menu, there is an area where you can click to open an unsaved document that was auto-saved. This is useful for cases of power loss or some error that causes Word to crash and close.
Microsoft Outlook's color scheme in this beta 2 release has been significantly changes, now with a more gray-blue background color along the left menu pane and bordering the application itself.
Microsoft has also redesigned all of the icons for each program in the Office 2010 beta 2 build, as shown in a screen shot below.
UPDATE (11/17/09): We have installed the build that is available on TechNet & MSDN, which is build 14.0.4536.1000. There are no visible changes except for the About screen of the individual applications. The About screen of the official Microsoft released beta reflects the new build number but also has Microsoft Office 2010 Professional Plus listed as the version instead of just Office 2010 Professional as it was listed in previous builds. We were also able to successfully save to and edit files saved on the Office Web apps from the SkyDrive integration in the Share sub-menu item in the File menu.
The next incarnation of Microsoft Office, Office 2010, has now gone public in a freely downloadable beta version, meaning anyone can try out time limited versions of the next generation of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and the rest of the growing Office family. After a few days of intense testing, I'm deeply impressed by the many ways Microsoft has improved on the solid foundation of Office 2007. The now-familiar Ribbon interface gets a few tweaks in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and is now visible throughout Outlook. Instead of an Office 2007–style major overhaul, Microsoft offers refinements and enhancements. My judgment on the beta version: It's terrific, but it's not essential for anyone already running Office 2007. If you're still using Office 2003 or an earlier version, however, I strongly recommend you upgrade to Office 2010 when it becomes available sometime next year. In the meanwhile, you might want to download the beta of Office 2010 and give it a try.
Some of the most technically impressive changes in Office 2010 involve online collaboration through SharePoint services for corporate use or a free Windows Live account for personal use. These new features aren't accessible through the public beta of Office 2010, but we'll report on them when Microsoft releases a beta of SharePoint 2010. Meanwhile, here's a look at what's new on an ordinary desktop installation of Office 2010. A few things have changed since the restricted-access Office 2010 Technical Preview surfaced back in July, but the essentials are mostly the same.
Suitewide Improvements:
Here's what it's like to run an Office 2010 application. A nifty animated splash screen reduces the boredom of waiting for the app to start, and, even in beta, Office 2010 feels slightly snappier than Office 2007. When your app opens, the first thing you notice is that the blindingly blue-toned background 2007 used by default has been replaced by a restful gray toned background that was an option in 2007 but was discovered only by experts. (If you actually want the blue back, it's available in each application's File | Options menu.) The ribbon is less distracting to look at because Microsoft ditched the boxes that used to surround many icons and groups of icons. Many 2007 users never noticed they could close down the ribbon by double-clicking in it (or by pressing Ctrl-F1), so the 2010 ribbon has an arrow icon near the far right that collapses or expands the ribbon with a single click.
Instead of the round Office 2007 "pearl" icon at the upper left of application windows some users never figured out it was more than just decoration Office 2010 sensibly restores the traditional File menu tab. When you click it, you get to a spacious, well-designed "Backstage" view with access to file-management options, including export to PDF (built into 2010, as it was belatedly built into Office 2007 SP2) and privacy options to remove metadata and revisions before saving a file. Third-party software can add features to the Backstage view, so you can expect that the next generation of PDF-management, OCR software, and other applications will install their own automation and integration features inside Word, Excel, Outlook, and other Office apps.
Because so many people now use 64-bit versions of Windows, it's good that Office 2010 introduces built-in 64-bit support (just choose it as an option when you install Office). I haven't tested a 64-bit installation, but Microsoft suggests that the only users who will notice the difference are professional Excel jockeys who work with enormous datasets and gigabyte-size spreadsheets.
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.
Some new features belong in the "sigh-of-relief" category. One, in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, lets you recover a document you closed without saving. Another is a security feature called Protected View that automatically displays files downloaded from the Internet in a sort of software-based glass box. You must click on an information bar that appears above the document the first time you open it; until you do, any active content in the file remains locked and can't interact with your computer.
Working Windows Live SkyDrive Feature.
Microsoft Office 2010 gives you powerful new tools to express your ideas, solve problems, and connect with people. Office 2010 lets you work how, when, and where you want, letting you get things from a PC, the Web, and even a smartphone.
Use Office 2010 virtually anywhere: PC, phone, browser
With Microsoft Office 2010, you can review and do minor editing on Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote 2010 documents, virtually anywhere, by using Office Web Apps from more locations on more devices.
Keep your people productive on the go. Office 2010 lets you access and edit documents stored on a server while you’re offline with SharePoint Workspace 2010, and then automatically syncs these changes when you’re back online. So you stay productive while on the go.
Support your employees, regardless of location or device. Office 2010 saves you time and money by helping you deploy and manage Office on the PC, the smartphone, and the Web, all from within familiar Microsoft System Center tools.
Bring Ideas to Life:
Create and deliver presentations that help you stand apart from the competition. Office 2010 puts you in the director’s chair, enabling you to create dazzling digital content in PowerPoint 2010 without the need for expensive third-party tools. And you can broadcast your presentation to anyone with a browser, even if they don’t have PowerPoint.
Stay organized and on top of your work. OneNote 2010 pulls together everything from daily sales figures to digital images, so all the information you need is easily accessible. You can also create side notes that stay on your screen as you move between different programs, so you can keep your thoughts organized as you multi-task. This helps you stay organized while saving you time.
Turn intuition into insights to make quicker and more informed business decisions. Excel 2010 provides tools for improved data visualization, which can give you key insights into business processes and tailor messaging and products to best meet customer needs. Whole trends can be conveyed in a single cell with Sparklines. And there are more options in styles and icons in conditional formatting, as well as the ability to highlight specific items like such as “max/min” in a single click.
Work Better Together:
Collaboration means better work and beating deadlines. Co-authoring allows multiple people to work on the same document at the same time, such as an RFP, to respond faster and meet deadlines. With Office 2010, several team members can work on Word 2010 and PowerPoint 2010 documents simultaneously and see who else is working on which sections, regardless of location.
Reduce travel costs and spend less on third-party conferencing tools. Office 2010 helps your people save time and money by providing one-click communication through unified communications technology, and real-time document sharing from within Word, PowerPoint, and Excel 2010 without the need to switch applications. This makes virtual meetings more effective so team members can get more done without being in the same room.
Instantly share a presentation. Hold spontaneous meetings with customers and partners with PowerPoint 2010. Broadcast Slideshow allows you to present a slideshow entirely through a Web browser no matter where your audience is at. No need for your customers to have a third-party conferencing tool, or even PowerPoint. All they have to do is click on a link and a browser window opens with your slides.
