    Office 12 Installing Now

    Well I got my hands on office 12 beta release! And now I am installing it. So far so good.

    The installer is a bit different from previous releases. In it there are some tabs and you can select different items. Whereas before you'd be walked through those steps one at a time.

    Now you have installer option tabs where you can input your name, the options you want to install, and if you want office to send out feedback and so on to Microsoft's servers (AKA the SPYWARE OF OFFICE), and last because I have Office 2003 installed, there are some upgrade options in another tab.

    After that, you click install and away you go.



    Then after a few minutes you are prompted by the check for updates window:



    When you go to launch in the programs menu, you'll notice the name change. In the image below you see office 2003 and office 12. This is because I left the other files intact while I installed office 12 on a second hard disk.



    And after opening each program, you will see some gui changes, layout changes and so on. It's looking more tuned toward the Vista look as several sites have already posted. Here are access, excel, infopath, powerpoint, publisher and word.








    Enjoy!

    Why when you can use Dreamweaver or Adobe or some other more frequently updated solution?

    Its easier to use than Dreamweaver (for someone who's grown up using MS Office). Plus there were talks of it being more standards compliant and generating cleaner code.

    Are any of you using Office 12? If so, perhaps you can install the new frontpage. I wonder if it is updated?

    Definitely looks good BB, a nice GUI and extra functions seem to be a worth while upgrade rather than the 2000->XP update

    I installed office 12. And every time I tried to use Word12, BSOD.

    btw: frontpage is available as a separate download from the ms beta office 12 site.

    Last night, I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I'll never know.
    love, piaqt

    I have only 1 hard disk. How do I create a new drive on the same disk? I tried the kb's suggestions, but keep getting cannot create from diskpart, and I can't access the new drive wizard from w/in computer management.
