Anybody playing with this update? It is a rather large d/l from MSDN (about 1.2GB DVD). They have done quite a lot with it.

Oh.. I also just updated the Outlook Script to support Outlook 2007.

If word is redmarking every word your typing then the language setting is different from the language your typing in.

Perhaps it does in Finish (can't speak for that language) but for English I rarely get red lettering as it has a very large list and you can also have a CUSTOM.DIC file as well.

If you're certain that what you're writing is spelled correctly then ADD the word to your list and it will quit red lining it.

Not here in English. Normally only ever see redline if someone doesn't spell it correctly, if I then fix the spelling it removes the redline as it should.

If it happens a lot in Finnish then can only suggest to send feedback to Microsoft. That is WHY it's in beta to get feedback. But if you remain silent and thousands of others remain silent then how can you expect Microsoft to even think about fixing it.

No complaints, then it must be okay. You can't just complain about it here or other boards and expect it to ever get fixed. You have to provide Microsoft with feedback on the issue.

Everything appears to be feature complete. However, Outlook 2007, the scroll mouse does not work.

Creating a new Word Document, it saves it as a .docx file. Word also has the ability to save as a PDF file (although I have heard this is being removed).

I love the contextual menus and ribbon bars. It makes a lot more sense in how you do your work throughout the day.

save as PDF is being removed... unless MS and Adobe/macromedia come to an agreement.

Currently it is being removed, but MS is ofering to include flash/shockwave built into IE as a bargaining chip

OO has such a tiny share of market, no one cares. MS has like 95% and if it was built in then Abobe wouldn't have a market for Adobe Acrobat (not acrobat reader)

most of the freeware PDF makers can't handle advanced features like tables and forms and such

Well did not try this latest beta, but the last beta would not work properly with my Exchange account and kept complaining about different Windows Installer issues with other programs so I removed it.

Don't have the time to beta test it, so I'll leave it off for now.
