Tell us what you think about Office 2010 (Technical Preview)
Using Office 2010, have something you want to tell Office? Maybe you're having trouble finding something in the UI or have a specific suggestion on how we can improve a feature. Or, maybe there's something you love and you want to make sure we know about it so that we keep it in the product. The best tool to use to give us feedback on the Office 2010 (Technical Preview) is called Send-a-Smile.
Hello and welcome to Office 2010! My name is Amanda and I am a Program Manager in Office, on my team we build Feedback tools, including Send-a-Smile. My job is to ensure the Office user has the opportunity to provide feedback (likes and dislikes) about their Office 2010 experience and then route this information to the right people on the Office teams. The teams use this information to make decisions regarding feature designs and to help prioritize bug fixes.
Where can I get Send-a-Smile? Send-a-Smile automatically installs with Office 2010, you’ll see two icons added to the notifications area of the taskbar over by the clock: a Smile to click when you want to give us positive feedback and a Frown to click when there's something you don’t like. On Win7, you may need to go specifically add them to the list of icons you want to see in the taskbar.
Do we actually read the comments? Absolutely! In fact we’ve already taken fixes to the product, which future downloaders of the Office 2010 (Technical Preview) will benefit from. Let me walk you through the process from sending a comment to someone on the Office team reviewing the comment.
How does one submit a comment? As previously noted, the Send-a-Smile tool installs along with the Office 2010 (Technical Preview). After the installation is complete, you will see the Smile and Frown icons in the taskbar.
Clicking on the Smile or Frown will launch the Send-a-Smile tool.
There is a text box to type your comment, and optionally you can include a picture of your screen and your e-mail address (so that we can contact you if necessary.) The screenshot is a really interesting and useful part of the feedback... especially where the UI is concerned. But, of course, you can just send the text if you'd rather. After you click “Submit”, off your feedback goes to Microsoft...
Where does the Smile or Frown go after you click submit and see the envelope fly away? Who reads my Smile or Frown comment?
The comment goes into a database here at Microsoft. Based on the comment text, we automatically group “tag” the comments by team and by feature. This helps get your comment to the appropriate team as quickly as possible.
An internal website has been created specifically for these comments. The Office teams use the website to review all the comments “tagged” to their team and features. While reviewing the comments, the teams have the option to give the comment a status to help categorize and later follow up on specific comments.
This feedback mechanism has already had a big impact on the product. Bugs have been identified and fixed. And of course, the many positive comments we receive help us not to tinker with the things that it seems we've gotten right.
We cannot guarantee that we'll act on every comment (which would be impossible anyway since many of the comments directly contradict other comments), but we can promise that we read them, consider them, and use them to help make decisions about the product.
The long and short of it all this, when you have feedback please click on the Smile and Frown icons...we are listening and love to receive feedback on the Office 2010 (Technical Preview). This is the most direct way for anyone in the world to get their feedback heard by the right person, with none of the barriers usually associated with trying to give feedback to a big company (phone trees, "customer service representatives", etc.)

I'm on the click-to-run (virtual) version and there's no sign of Send-A-Smile anywhere. Am I meant to have it?Anonymous

I installed the beta yesterday, and so far I really love it. It was a clean, fast install. The only glitch I seen so far is with Outlook. I didn't know what the send a smile was prior to this, so I shut it down and I got an error on Outlook where it couldn't hit the hotmail server through connector. I can't remember what the error is now, something to do with a misplaced data file. I just created a new one, and everything seems fine for now. It happens every now and then, so next time it happens at least I know to use the send a smile option when it does. So far I like the 2010 build, and if it keeps going the way it is, I'll definitely buy a copy once it becomes live.Anonymous

On multi-monitor screens you should only capture the main monitor. And is there any chance to give real feedback? MichaelAnonymous

Thanks for the feedback. We love to hear what's working for you and what's not, so keep it coming. A few follow ups and questions. maleckie - If you've go to the connect site through the invite you should be set. What program are you in? chsword - The best to get an answer is to post a specific question in one of the connect newsgroups (e.g., for a particular client application). Michael - Thanks for the suggestion. During the design phase it proved hard to determine what the "main monitor" is since Send-a-Smile (SAS) is a standalone application and currently not tightly integrated with applications. Comments are routed to the product teams and we look closely at all the feedback. dpalmerston - SAS is currently a tool that we only use during previews. It's not included in the final (RTM) version, but that's an interesting suggestion. debshinder - It should have been in the notification customization options. Which versions (e.g., 64 bit, standalones, Office suite) did you install? Thanks.Anonymous

I'm happy with the 2010 release. After 2003 RTMed, I'd given feedback that I'd like to see better graphs in Office, overhauled equations, typography in Word and Publisher and graphically improved transitions in PowerPoint and got them (first two in 2007) and rest in 2010. I wish Office (Word especially) had a more standards-compliant web layout engine that would generate more pure (X)HTML. I'd also like to see the return of some very useful and well-loved Office features like Save and Restore Office settings wizard, real slipstreaming service packs into Setup and the powerful context-sensitive (What's this) help system last seen in Office XP.Anonymous

I would like to second Palmerston's comment about Send A Smile. I like that feature a lot. One way I can think of that it would be useful is in asking for keywords to be added to Help files. Many times over the years I have had no luck finding help with new features. I have always thought perhaps I was not using the right keyword. For one example, I clicked on Help in Excel 2010, and used the search string 'insert equation'. Search returned no results. I can use SAS to ask for that string to be added to the appropriate help file(s). Thanks for your work ... vanillaAnonymous

I may have posted something similar before, but, I have to counter the negative comments that keep coming from Technet blog auto email : I was on Win7 beta from last year [ and many prior Windows and Office betas ]and the look and feel with O2K10 is very similar to that from day One with Win 7. viz - Putting aside connectivity/regional/time date issues with online versions [c2r etc] from Beta 1 [ ctp] the build is of a standard that exceeds the RTM versions of Win95, XP and Vista. end of story IMHOAnonymous

It's good, except the version is 14. There is no such thing as a Superstition for the number 13. Can't you microsoft people wait for office 2012 or 2013 as office 14? Office 2010 wouldn't be a good as version 14. If you people are going to make office 2010 as version 14, then i would give that product 1 star. And if it that program was release as that version, I wouldn't get and i would say "this is the worst office release ever. it is more terible then Windows Vista" and i would stick with Office 2007 aka office 12.

I’m running Office 2010 Technical Preview Build 14.0.4006.100. I like it, it’s definitely better than the click to run version. I like the "Customize Ribbon" feature, and the fact that you can import and export the customized Ribbons from user to user. I dislike that you have to import and export "All" the customizations together, it would be nice if the final release allowed you to import or export just an individual Ribbon Tab. That way if I had a customized Ribbon Tab in Word 2010 named "Regulatory Formatting", and I needed to import a new customized Ribbon Tab for say "Manufacturing Formatting", I could do that without losing my customized "Regulatory Formatting" Ribbon Tab. This would make this new feature much more user friendly. I also like that PowerPoint 2010 allows you to save a presentation as a *.wmv file, however it would be nice if other video formats were supported such as Mpeg 2 and Mpeg 4.Anonymous

Nothing beneficial for most businesses - no reason to upgrade/purchase - Like Vista - all bling - no function. If they wanted to improve Office they SHOULD have -
- Made outlook open multiple e-mail accounts as full exchange -not an additional mailbox with some functionality or pop/imap with very limited functionality but two seperate exchange profiles simultaneously from multiple exchange servers.
- Full OLE support for pictures in access - umm wasn't that functional with Office XP - why take that out? Why should someone have to code to add pictures to a personal database? Might was well use oracle or a real database if you are going to have to use code. Adding Office XP photo editor is the work around but why not just add photo editor back into office if that is the solution?
- Offer the old menu bar for people (most of my clients) who don't want to learn the new menu bar. You can finally modify the ribbon to some extent in 2010 however my clients just want their old ribbon bar. Frankly I have no issue with the new menu bar but I'm one person and most of my clients don't like it so prefer to stick with office 2003. MS could make money selling the new version if they just offered the old menu as a choice with the new ribbon.

November 21, 2009
in case you want to turn that Send-a-Smile service off, it's fairly simple: just remove the "officeSASscheduler.exe" key from RUN/ in your registry. I assume you know how to do that, otherwise, a safer way of doing it is toggling it off with e.g. CrapCleaner's startup registry editor which can be toggled back on in case you want SaS back or somehow f**ked my advice up.Anonymous

Send a smile should die. There are plenty of better ways to get feedback back than one that makes my computer look like an IM conversation. And there is absolutely no reason to turn on Send a Smile when office isn't even running. Learn to think, Microsoft. This is worse than a talking paperclip - at least the paperclip was only there when I had Word open. Not only that, but the option to disable it is hidden (I'm assuming it exists); why can't I right click on it and tell it to go away and never come back? The only good thing is that every time I turn on my computer, I'm given a good way to tell Microsoft how much I don't like this vile contraption of theirs. Update: Judging from the post above mine - looks like to turn off send-a-smile you need to oh jeez that's easy just edit a registry value thank you guys why didn't I try that in the first place.Anonymous

Not sitting in front of my machine with Office 2010 Sat in front of my work machine with 2007 installed on it and realized there was something that I really missed... I spend a lot of time keeping up with tech news via RSS and Outlook's support for RSS has always made me very happy. One thing I'm feeling like 2010 is missing is the "View Full Article" link at the top of the post. I miss that in 2010... maybe the functionality is there, but it isn't apparent enough for me to see it right away and that might be a bad thing.Anonymous

Hi Office 2010 team, I'm using the Beta that's available now and sofar ran into two issues:
- in Excel there's a problem with nested IF formulas. It won't accept the code according to the help description, but if I enter the code in the Excel 2003 I still have running and then open the file in Excel 2010 again, it does accept it! Doens't sound like a big problem, but it needs fixing
- In Outlook 2010 it won't remember the default selected program to open an attachment with (say a PDF), which is annoying cause everytime you need to select the software from the list. That's it sofar. Otherwise a stable and useful beta! And I like 2010 alot better than 2007...

Установил себе на компьютер Beta версию MS Office 2010 и хотел бы высказать пожелания по функционалу MS Word, так как именно этот пакет наиболее часто использую на работе. Описных ниже улучшений я не увидел ни в MS Office 2003 SP3, ни в MS Office 2007, ни в MS Office 2010 Beta. Пожелания:
- Добавить возможность программно (с помощью VBA) полностью убирать панель инструментов. Такая возможность исчезла в MS Office
- Такая потребность обусловлена необходимостью повысить безопасность компьютера от несанкционированного доступа пользователя к файлам, папкам и программам при просмотре документа в MS Word или Excel.
- Добавить возможность делать перекрестную ссылку на рисунок или таблицу в формате "Только номер" рисунка или таблицы. Данная возможность позволит произвольным образом склонять эти ссылки, например, смотри на рисунке 1 (где ссылкой является только номер), а не смотри Рисунок 1 (где ссылкой является слово и номер), как это сейчас реализовано, когда ссылка имеет формат "Постоянная часть и номер".
- Сделать заголовок таблицы, повторяемый на следующем листе, зависимым от текущего листа, а не от листа, на котором располагается родительский заголовок. Например по российским ГОСТам при переносе таблицы на следующий лист необходимо писать слово "Продолжение таблицы <№>". Если включить в заголовок таблицы Поле IF {IF {PAGE * MERGEFORMAT} = 1 "Таблица <№>" "Продолжение таблицы <№>" * MERGEFORMAT)}, то данное требование можно было бы выполнить, но второй текст, в повторяемых на последующих листах заголовках таблицы, не вставляется.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot is going on with Group Policy installations? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc178988(office.14).aspx#section2 There's no more option to deploy Office via GPO objects, which is a step back from Office 2007. 2007 was in turn a huge step back from 2003 with its unreliable two-stage GPO installation. And to think Microsoft was showing some real progress with software management when they introduced software deployment via Windows Installer and Group Policy back in 1999. Shift computers around in your Directory, and the right software gets installed and the wrong software gets removed. Not so anymore with Office applications and suites. I'm not a regular MS basher but sheesh, this is about as "Do as I say, not as I do" as a software developer can get. The really stupid part is there's nothing inherent in the design of these apps that would prevent a developer from creating a GPO-friendly installer package for them. Or if the package itself has become too large, how about packaging the individual applications and support tools separately? Aren't they already broken up into individual self-contained packages in Office 2007? Seriously, this is poor design after seeing all of the progress I've seen in Dynamics 10 and tons of third-party apps that are finally supporting Windows Installer and Group Policy.Anonymous

I have decided to uninstall the 2010 Office beta, as in general, I don't see enough improvement to warrant upgrading from 2007 to 2010. (With the only except being that I would love to be able to customize my ribbons in 2007). I wrote on another MS blog (but can't remember which one now) that overall, I find it harder or a little more time consuming to find "administrative" type functions like printing, converting a file, etc., within 2010 Office programs (like Word or Excel) than 2007. If I had gone from 2003 to 2010, perhaps the move would be easier, but from 2007 to 2010, it isn't worth the effort. And I hope that just because 2007 still hasn't caught on in the work world, that MS will not drop supporting it to favor 2010. For all of those who have made the effort to adapt to the entire ribbon concept and other organizational changes in 2007, it would be a shame for us to be left to the curb. I think 2007 simply needed a better sales pitch, like Windows 7 received (which by the way IS worth the upgrade from Vista!)Anonymous

I'm testing with Access 2010 Runtime and found a problem with my VBA code throwing a series a "Internal error (#0051) errors in a particular spot in the code. These all have to do with my setting the Left and Width properties of a tezxt control. This works fine in Access 2003 and Access 2007. On the form, I have an area for firstname, middlename and lastname. But my database occasionally contains the name of a corporation (rather than a person), and the corporation's name is located in the lastname field in the database. When I detect this situation, I dynamically adjust these three textbox controls as follows:
- I set the Visible property of the firstname and middlename controls (and their labels) to False.
- I set the Width property of the lastname control (and its label) to about 50% larger than it was previously.
- I set the Left property of the lastname control (and its labels) to a slightly smaller number so it will fit in the designated spot on the form. When the program then detects a database record with a person's name, all the above actions are reverse so everything looks like it did in the first place. Each setting of the Left and Width properties throws error 51 (Internal error) when running Access 2010 Runtime. Thanks. Bob Howard info@ChurchTrax.com

My problem is: When printing an "oversized D-sheet" on an HP Designjet 130, solid black boxes show up on the right of every object. I was using the Conceptual Web Site (US units) template. These black boxes are attached to the objects and are about 15-20% the size of the objects.Anonymous

What do you do when the "Send a smile" doesn't work! There is no way to give feedback easily. So the one glitch I find is the feedback system -- very wrong.Anonymous

I have a very simple feature request for Visio. I would like to have the "View" option added back to the right-click menu. Simply put, I want to have the ability to view the whole page, back on the right-click. I frequently adjust the zoom of large documents to work on them at a detail level, and want to be able to simply view the entire document again. The functionality used to be there, but was removed in 2007, and is still not there in 2010 (at least in the version that I am using, which I believe is the newest beta code.)Anonymous

Would greatly appreciate 2003 classic menus option. 2003 was reasonable, 2007 had a few bugs and the user interface is confusing. 2010 seems to work (several of the 2007 bugs seem to be fixed), and ribbon is more consistant, however the user interface is still pretty confusing. 2003 and 97 weren't as "pretty", but the menus were intuitiveAnonymous

Can't find 'send a smile' but here's my issue! I'm running PowerPoint on a tablet and when I try to write on the Presentation with my pen - it's awful! I had to stop my presentation and restart it in 2007 in order to continue. There is a delay and parts of the words don't show up during that delay, plus instead of a pen and a marker for your writing tools, there is only one option and it isn't as nice as the 2007 writing options. Please fix!!!! I use this to teach and like some of the 2010 features, but can't use it with my tablet.Anonymous

I have no control over software used in my company, so I cannot get rid of PowerPoint - despite the frequent daily crashes and loss of productivity. Yes, it's the 07 version in compatability mode, and it's a nightmare. Whoever created this piece of s.. should be shot.Anonymous

I can not install Office 2010 Professional because I can not uninstall the beta version of Office 2010 which I never could run but now can not get rid off. Can you help me get rid of the old beta version so I can install the new one? Please lead me to some directions. I have Windows 7. Thank you. KathyAnonymous

I have tried everything i know including making new mapi profiles and renaming the mapi32.dll file then creating a new but the only cure that worked for me was reinstalling outlook 2007 ? Is this a problem resolvable with outlook 2010 or do rim need to update their desktop manager software ?Anonymous

some features id like to see are :easier to turn pages from portrait to landscape without affecting the whole document- page breaks always stuff up for me. :for footer page numbering let us decide the number of pages not to mark. so that numbering can start from 1 but will be on the second or higher page, - usually have my title page and TOC :give us the option of the old menu! - i love having control over office, the ribbon system always takes that away! i dont care if the option take another gig or 2, i want it , or include it installation as an optional add on.Anonymous

I am strongly disappointed that office 2010 still makes printing envelopes harder and more complicated not to mention time consuming than it should be.Printing an envelope for a outlook contact should be an easy task without the need to jump through hoops shouldn't it? Why has this feature been overlooked for so long?Anonymous

There seems to be a problem with the equation feature of Office 2010. I use equations a lot in my work, and the Script -> Subscript-Superscript feature seems to have a bug. If you enter a subscript, the superscript is "switched off", when you enter a superscript, the subscript is "switched off". You can have both a subscript AND a superscript. Is there someplace I can send my file off to for the Microsoft chaps to have a look? Thanks. ascklee.Anonymous

Very Microsoft, blue-screened my pc at both attempts to install the free trial. Doesn't work. Even the Beta version had to have an extension installed for an MSN email address which is THEIR OWN EMAIL PROVIDER! It's truly incredible how they get it wrong so right. Hello Mac.....Anonymous

I'm with debshinder, I'm running Windows 7 Professional 32 bit Version 6.1.7600 with Office 2010 Professional MSO 14.0.4760.1000. There's no "send a smile" anywhere to be found. I found on the web ways of turning it off in the Beta version www.howtogeek.com/.../disable-office-2010-beta-send-a-smile-from-startup but nothing on how to turn it on. I have checked in msconfig and double checked control panel but I have all Office programs installed. Generally I found that most of my queries in help screens end up not finding a solution. I have sorted the vast majority of my questions about Office 2010 from web searches, I have all but given up on Office help content. in older versions of Office, there was a question "was this helpful?" with a way to provide feedback.Anonymous

Office 2010 is the most rubbish piece of software ever created by Microsoft. Text boxes are next to impossible to work with, it lags a lot, it looks horrible and has a terrible layout. You are better off with Office 2007.Anonymous

801-619-1096 Love Office 2010 EXCEPT ONE MAJOR PROBLEM. I run HUGE Excel worksheets to sort through, clean up and extract data. Granted, my current PC only has 6 Gigabyte of RAM. With changes, the Undo stack fills quickly--like one step. My PC bogs down and the only way to clean the stack is to save, close and reopen. Most of the time, I do not want undo or only need one level. I am sure that some whizbanger softdude guy is still patting himself on the back for figuring out how to have unlimited undo stacks, but for me, it is a NIGHTMARE. Fix this. Please.
