Office 2010 Videos: Part 7

David Gerhardt — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 20:05:05 GMT

Another set of Office 2010 feature videos that we produced has been posted to YouTube. These same videos are now also up on GetSharp...

The latter video highlights one of my favorite PowerPoint 2010 features: the ability to trigger effects (e.g., animations) from a video bookmark. It shows another way to create visually impactful presentations with PowerPoint 2010.

Office 2010 Videos: Part 6

David Gerhardt — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 16:58:43 GMT

Four more of our Office 2010 feature videos were posted to YouTube yesterday. I published the same videos to GetSharp a short while ago...

Two of the videos showcase Office Mobile capabilities, part of Microsoft's effort to make the Office clients available on mobile devices. There are two more Office Mobile videos and a few other Office 2010 videos still to come...

Office 2010 Videos: Part 5

Microsoft posted another of our Office 2010 feature videos—about Excel 2010 slicers—on YouTube yesterday. I subsequently published it here on GetSharp. If you are interested in seeing improved filtering functionality for PivotTables or cube functions in Excel 2010, check out this video.

As I have been saying for the past few months, there are still more of these feature videos to come...

Office 2010 Videos: Part 4

David Gerhardt — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:56:20 GMT

Microsoft posted four more of our Office 2010 feature videos on YouTube yesterday, with each one showcasing a different application. I published the videos to GetSharp earlier today...

You might notice that the SharePoint Workspace video is a little longer than most of the other videos we have posted thus far. With SharePoint Workspace being new (well, a newer version of Groove), it was felt that more context was needed for the user to understand what was happening in the video.

There are still more of these feature videos to come...

Office 2010 Videos: Part 3

David Gerhardt — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:39:27 GMT

Microsoft posted six more of our Office 2010 feature videos on YouTube yesterday. Devin, who produced the OneNote 2010 videos, and I published them to GetSharp earlier today...

There are still more of these feature videos to come...

Office 2010 Videos: Part 2

David Gerhardt — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 16:21:28 GMT

While I was out on vacation, Microsoft posted two more of our Office 2010 feature videos on YouTube. I just published both of them to GetSharp...

We will continue to post these vignettes to GetSharp in the coming weeks...

InfoPath 2010 Filtering

David Gerhardt — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 22:12:46 GMT

Control filtering is one of the out-of-the-box features not supported in InfoPath 2007 browser scenarios. The InfoPath team posted a Web service workaround for this, and I described a managed-code fix as well.

With InfoPath 2010, it appears that these workarounds are no longer necessary. In the video I posted earlier this month about richer browser forms, see the filtering functionality at work in an InfoPath 2010 browser scenario. At least that's one big improvement to the browser form experience...

Office 2010 Videos: Part 1

David Gerhardt — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 16:38:39 GMT

Microsoft demonstrated many of the new Office 2010 features this week at the Worldwide Partner Conference. Some of these feature demos were converted to 30-to-60-second vignettes and posted to YouTube. 3Sharp produced many of these vignettes, and I published a few of them to GetSharp as well...

For a sneak preview of Office 2010 functionality, check out these videos. We will be posting more to GetSharp in the coming weeks...

Office 2007 Marketing Videos

David Gerhardt — Wed, 06 May 2009 16:56:37 GMT

I just uploaded three marketing videos to GetSharp showing features in the 2007 Microsoft Office system:

At first glance these might seem unspectacular, given how late we are in the 2007 release cycle. These videos, however, are essentially a tease for feature videos related to Office 2010, which we will be uploading in the near future.
