New Microsoft Office for Mac and iOS Accreditation via MacTech
I recently got the announcement of the new official Microsoft Office Accreditation through MacTech. I was lucky enough to sit in on the previous version of this, so thought I’d push out the information on it. It’s attached to the MacTech Pro Events that MacTech has been running: As you know, Microsoft released a public preview of Office 2016 for Mac. MacTech and Microsoft have created a new accreditation for Apple techs called “Microsoft Office for Mac and iOS Accredited Support Professional, 2015.” Prior to the public Office 2016 announcement, we did a preview of this new course under NDA in Seattle earlier this month. We’re now announcing the new accreditation…

Microsoft Office Live
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal Microsoft Office Live Workspace is a portal that allows you to view your Microsoft Office documents online. This includes the ability to share documents and do desktop presentations of Microsoft Office documents. Microsoft Office Live Workspace is in beta and free, so why not give it a try?

Mac OS X Server: Another MCX

Let’s look at the Name in the Settings from Microsoft Office. For this, Click on the + sign in Workgroup Manager, then browse to a user account -> Library -> Preferences -> Microsoft -> Office 2008 -> Microsoft Office 2008 Settings.plist. Then change Manage imported preferences to Always. Now double-click on Microsoft Office 2008 Settings and open up that disclosure triangle for Always. Change the string for the 1000 value to be what you want the name to be. Then save and test. Fun…

Office 12 – A New Look
I originally posted this at http://www.318.com/TechJournal Microsoft has released the beta version of Microsoft Office, version 12. This new version is packed with new features and of course, a new look for documents. Office 12 no longer has drop down menus. This has been a hallmark of Microsoft Office since the first version. Nearly every other productivity suite has been built around drop down menus on every platform since the days before point-and-click. Microsoft has replaced drop down menus with a new concept that they are calling the ribbon. When you click on what were once drop down menus, the toolbars change to include only the features relevant to that…
