Collaborating With OneNote 2010

February 21, 2012 – 7:30 pm

One of the hidden gems of Office 2010 is that it now includes OneNote 2010 – the latest release of Microsoft’s simple yet elegant note taking application. Formerly, you had to purchase OneNote separately making it a special software request inside many corporations and not standard issue. Now that it comes with all versions of Office 2010, my first hope is that it helps slay the useless tradition of taking meeting minutes, but before that comes collaborating with OneNote.

OneNote can serve as an effective backchannel for collaborative note taking, whiteboard session captures, and capturing the myriad of bits and bytes that comes with running a technology project.

Using Linked Notes in Microsoft Word 2010

February 17, 2012 – 2:23 pm

Professional documents can go through many changes before you declare them final and ready for publication. Along the way to final document, it is real easy to chock up a lot of questions and ideas that don’t have any place in even the draft document. While Word has some great commenting and track changes tool, it doesn’t take too long until the document can flash an unfortunate author back to freshman comp class. Now, in Office 2010, you can take notes in OneNote and link them to your document.

Does Microsoft Office Need A Champion Inside Your Organization?

February 4, 2012 – 1:46 pm

Often Microsoft Office suffers from a lack of credit (and support) despite the fact that it is the underpinnings to many a business process. It’s easy to brush it off as just being Office but its important to consider that Microsoft Office as an application suite continues to undergo such a metamorphosis from its inauspicious beginning as a bunch of bundled desktop applications to a front end into how a business operates complete with collaboration, communications, and a potential interface into corporate backend applications.

Tweaking Your Outlook 2010 Setup

January 30, 2012 – 8:05 pm

A nonscientific survey of my local job listings show that Office 2010 is showing up on more corporate desktops and with that many new users are trying to figure out how to get the most out of Outlook 2010. With every Office release, Microsoft shows a little extra love to one application and Outlook definitely saw some product management and developer love in this go around.

I’ve also come to believe that Microsoft Outlook and not spreadsheets is what really runs projects and even businesses so I want to offer up some Outlook setup advice in this post. These are items that are typically overlooked in stock implementations but can save you embarrassment and make you a bit more productive.
