Blogcast: Intro to the Office 12 user interface

  • Artikkeli

Sometimes its better to show than to tell so I thought I'd have a go at recording one of my demos of the new user interface in Office 12. It is recorded with only 16 colours so it will look a lot nicer in real life. I'm attaching the spreadsheet that I used in the excel 12 demo in case you have beta 1 and fancy doing this demo yourself.
I think the sound went a bit dodgy in the word section for a few seconds but it recovers. If people like the idea, I'll look at doing more of these so let me know.

    I really enjoyed that blogcast. I've been an avid follower of Jensen Harris' blog for a while now, but to see all those new interface features in action is great. For anyone who's not a Beta1 tester, it's the closest they'll get to seeing the real thing for a while.

    As an IT trainer, I have a professional interest as well as a personal interest in the new Office suite. I can see us doing a very large number of "upgrade" courses come 2007.

    I have to agree with Brad though, the quality of the sound meant I missed about 70% of what you said. Better sound and visual quality would be preferable, for any future blogcasts you do. We won't mind the increased download time.

    Fantastically useful - thanks!  :-)  Bearing in mind the compression that must have gone on to squeeze this 17 minute demo into 9MB I think the sound and visual is great.

    We had a good turn out at the Technet beer and pizza event in Reading this week.  Thanks for all...

    I must confess I was a bit hungover when I recorded this one so I do suggest you run it speeded up (ctrl-shift-G)
