In the corporate world, link denture there is a tendency to want to brand every slide with your company logo. Even worse, resuscitator treatment use the company colours and washed out ‘people shaking hands’ image that the CEO demands is on every slide. How can you make sure that the logo or image appear on every slide? By putting them into the Slide Master.
Think of the Slide Master as the ‘head honcho’ slide. All the other slides in your presentation look up the the Slide Master, and copy (inherit) whatever the Slide Master look like. Generally, if you place the company logo on the bottom right of the Slide Master, every slide in your presentation will have the company logo on the bottom right of the slide.
That is all well and good, but how do you get to the slide master view, especially since the user interface has changed in PowerPoint 2007?
(PS – the pen work in the above image was created using a very bad mouse and the most powerful program in Windows – MSPAINT! If anyone has a spare tablet (or tablet PC for that matter) that they want to permanently lend me, please let me know!)

What is the Prepare Menu?
The prepare menu is a collection of functionality which a user might use to prepare their work for publication, site storage or distribution, once they have finished the content of the document. This might include adding some meta data to the document (for use in a EDRMS or document management system), adding a digital signature (to ensure the integrity of the document), or even checking that the document is compatible with older versions of Word.
Lets have a in depth look at what each of the options in the Prepare menu do.
Inspect Document
The Inspect Document function checks to make sure there is nothing hidden in your document that a reader might find later down the track. This is especially important if you have used track changes, hidden some text (when you should have deleted it), or used some meta data internally to classify the document that you do not want the reader to know about.
Encrypt Document
By selecting Encrypt Document from the Prepare menu in Word 2007, you can add a password to protect your document. Just type your password in once, then re-type it to make sure it is correct, and your Word 2007 document is encrypted.
Restrict Permission
This prepare menu option allows you to grant specific rights to viewers of the document. For example, if you only want people to be able to read a document, but not print it or save it, you can grant those privileges using the Restrict Permission option.
This functionality is based on Rights Management Services for Windows Server 2003. However, if you do not have RMS (or another information rights management infrastructure in your organisation), you can still restrict the permissions on your document using a free trial from Microsoft. Information on the trial appears when you try to restrict permission on your document for the first time.
You can create your own digital signature, or purchase one from a third party. Signatures from third parties hold more credibility because they can be independently verified.
Note that digital signatures are invisible, and you do not actually see a traditional written signature anywhere on the document.
Mark as Final
Mark as final, marks the document as final, sets the document to read-only, and saves it for you.
Run Compatibility Checker
By running the compatibility checker in Word 2007 you can check to see if your document will load in previous versions of Microsoft Word. This is very important if you work with customers or suppliers who may be running older versions of Word.
Conclusion
So there you have it, a deep dive into the document preparation features that you can find in the Prepare menu in Word 2007. Hope that helps!

If you are a MSDN subscriber, search you can expect the gold code to be available in the next few days.
If you are a consumer, diagnosis we still need to wait until early next year to purchase Microsoft Office 2007 from the shops!
So now that Office 2007 is available, are there any areas that you need me to cover? Over the next week or two I think I will get back to basics and build tutorials that cover the products (Word 2007, Excel 2007, PowerPoint 2007 and Outlook 2007 to start with) from the ground up!

There are many different ways to create a task to keep track of in Outlook 2007 (The quickest way in Outlook 2007 is to type your task into the “To-Do Bar”)… however that is not the most efficient way, case especially if you take most of your notes in OneNote 2007.

The worst part of software evaluation is having to wait for ages whilst you download all the different trial versions that you want to look at. Office 2007 is no different, pills with most trial versions being in the hundreds of megabytes region! Talk about a bandwidth hog!
But there is a much easier, faster, and less painful way to try out each of the Microsoft Office 2007 system products – even those niche ones like SharePoint Designer 2007, OneNote 2007, Visio 2007, Project 2007, and even InfoPath 2007! It is called the 2007 Microsoft Office Test Drive.

Anyone who is serious about building a professional, ampoule efficient and most importantly… a great looking Intranet or Website hosted on Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 NEEDS to know about Master Pages.
For those of you new to web design, “Master Pages” allow you to have a consistent layout throughout your entire project, without having to do some fancy coding! I guess the best way to think of master pages is as a template for the way your whole site looks.
How do I create a Master Page in SharePoint Designer 2007?
Look towards the bottom right hand corner of the screen. You should see a “Layout Tables” pane. Down the bottom of that pane there is a section called “Table Layout”. In this section there are a variety of common layouts that are used on professional websites. Have a look through each of the layouts and select your favourite.
Add the standard content you want to be in each part of the Master Page. For example, you might want to put a copyright message in the footer, a page title at the top of the page etc.
There you have it – your first master page in SharePoint Designer 2007! If you want to add more content that you would like to be consistent across your entire website or intranet site – simply continue to add that content to your master page! How easy is that!!!!

Normally, capsule when you open Word 2007 your document will be in “Portrait Orientation.” Portrait means that the page is taller than it is wider. Portrait works for most documents, but sometimes you might want to put that page on its side… or landscape, which is when the page is wider than it is taller.

So you have a worksheet with some numbers, case but they are not your standard type of number… maybe they are a dollar figure, population health maybe they are a date or time, information pills percentage or fraction. To make sure Excel 2007 interprets them the way you interpret them, you need to format the number properties the cell.
In the number group you have a number of different options you can use to quickly format the numbers in your selected cells.
Below that drop down box you have a number of other options. The first is to format the cell as a specific currency. Using this button you can not only format the cell as an Accounting Cell, but also select the specific currency you want.
The next few options allow you to format the cell for percentages, and set the cell to follow comma style (ie. 2,432,455.00). The final two buttons allow you to move the decimal point in the cell to the left (increase the number of decimals after the point), or move the decimal point to the right (decrease the number of decimals after the point).

Have you ever read a book, capsule or a fancy brochure and noticed that the first letter of a chapter is really big (and goes across a few lines) and the rest of the text looks normal? That is called a “Drop Cap”, buy information pills and you can insert one really easily in Word 2007.
How do I insert a drop cap in Word 2007?
Firstly, approved you need some text in your document. Generally you would only add a drop cap after you have written your document. Here is an example of some plain text that I have inserted into the document
Which one looks best? Dropped or In Margin? I don’t know, you need to decide on that!
The Options section is where you can have some fun. Your first choice is what font you want the drop cap to be. Depending on how many fonts you have installed on your computer, this could be a very hard decision. Unfortunately we don’t have live preview here (Note to Microsoft – Please, please, please, add live preview to the drop cap options menu!), so you might have to use a little trial and error.
The second option is “Lines to Drop.” This basically lets you choose how big your drop cap is. The smallest you would want to go is 2 lines (otherwise it wouldn’t be a drop cap!) and the most would depend totally on the size of your font. Generally 3 looks good, but I have seen some very cool drop caps work over 10 lines, with a small body font.
Finally the last option is the “Distance from text”. This is handy if you want to put a little space between your drop cap and your body text. Again you don’t want too much of a space here, otherwise it will be difficult to read the first word!
Here is an example of my custom drop cap. I chose “Blackadder ITC” as my font (it is one of those really really old curly fonts!, lines to drop as 3, and distance from text as 0.2cm. This is what I got…
So there you have it – a quick start guide to how to insert a Drop Cap in Word 2007! Just be careful not to go overboard, drop caps look good when used well, but if you go crazy, your document will look very, very ugly!
