‘Scout’ Office 2007 Commands
A lot of people have been complaining about the totally new and improved Ribbon Interface of Office 2007, the biggest problem they face is that they cant find a certain feature they want to use, rather than having them in bars, MS has categorized them a little differently. Personally, me like all critics, loves and appreciates Office 2007 for its radical and improved looks and features, but MS decided to come up with a solution for the casual user who could not find the command he was looking for and its called – Office Scout.
Office Scout is a simple plugin for Office 2007 which will add a ‘Search for Command’ tab on top, which will allow you to simply type a certain a command you need and it will show you the corresponding options available. Pretty neat!
I tried it on my Office 2007 and searched for ‘Print’, these are the options I got:
It is a pretty neat feature to have, really helpful and for those who obtained Office from other ‘Sources’ don’t worry it will work without any issues on your version too. :)
Good post., man
I am loving Office 2007, I especially LOVE the side note thing..its a real boon!
I can take any kinds of screenshots and best of all.. I can even extract texts out of those screens :o that is soo next gen .
*waits for sathya to mention freeware alternative available on linux :P*
btw… for some strange reason after using word for a while the system freezes,and this happens EVERY time no matter how free the memory is, I wonder why it is so.. I have all the latest updates too.
One Note is the feature that is most useful and least talked about, even MS hasn’t talked a lot about it but it is 1 of the best addons to Office 2k7, for your problem, never happened to me, does Word come back to normalcy after some time? also do check how much RAM is it consuming at that time, maybe it is triggering some other program or something like that.
