Here is a pctipsbox for those of you who frequently schedule meetings using Outlook 2007. It is sometimes handy to have a hard copy of the names of attendees invited to a meeting, along with the name of the meeting organizer. Although it requires a few steps, you can print this information in Outlook 2007.

1. Within Outlook, click the Calendar.

2. Open the appropriate meeting request.

3. On the Meeting tab, click Scheduling Assistant.

4. Select the names in the All Attendees list.

5. On the Format Text tab, click Copy.The names of the meeting organizer and attendees are copied.

Your next step is to paste the names into Word and format them for printing:

1. Open a new Word document.

2. On the Home tab, click Paste. The names of the meeting organizer and attendees are separated by either semicolons or commas.

3. Select all the names.

4. On the Insert tab, in the Tables group, click Table.

5. Click Convert Text to Table.

6. In the Convert Text to Table dialog box, under Table size, set the number of columns to 1.

7. In the Convert Text to Table dialog box, under Separate text at, select Commas if the names are separated by commas. If the names are separated by semicolons, select Other, and then type a semicolon (;) in the adjacent box.

8. Click OK.

Now that the names are formatted into a single list, you can print the list for future reference.

Office Labs Offers Search Commands

Microsoft is hard at work searching for ways to improve its Office System. This is why the company has introduced a quasi-independent effort dubbed Office Labs. Designed to be a sandbox set up to streamline the experimenting, building and testing of new ideas, Microsoft Office Labs will offer the first taste of new products and features while still in the most early stages of development, even as prototypes. An illustrative example in this regard is Search Commands for the Office 2007 System.

“Search Commands helps you find commands, options, wizards, and galleries in Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Just type what you’re looking for in your own words and click the command you need. Search Commands also includes Guided Help, which acts as a tour guide for specific tasks,” reveals the product’s description.

But in the end, as Chris Pratley - Lead Program Manager, Microsoft Office explained, Microsoft Office Labs is an incubation effort that places what are essentially internal ideas, products and features into the public eye. The initiative is of course focused not only on exploring new technology, but also on gathering feedback from end users. However, Pratley stressed the fact that all the items featured on Microsoft Office Labs are no more than in an experimental phase, and that is why they are not delivered via the Redmond company’s traditional download hotspots. What it all comes down to is that the prototypes and ideas featured via Microsoft Office Labs might become full blown products, might even be integrated into the company’s solutions or could just be killed in their embryonic stage.

“Concept testing is what this site is all about. The projects you find here are not products or beta versions. They don’t even pretend to be complete product ideas. They are the equivalent of ‘concept cars’ for software. Automotive companies sometimes produce near and far-future test vehicles to test design concepts or features to see how effective they are. In most cases there is no intent to productize the vehicles as shown. They simply work for the purposes of getting feedback. We do the same for software. The difference is that you to get to test drive the concepts. Because of that, all these experiences are strictly ‘use at your own risk’, and we can’t promise to fix every bug that is reported but we’ll try to nip the worst ones,” Pratley explained.

Search Commands is available for download here.

Can Loonies Speed Up Your PC?

I tend to be wary of programs that purport to make computers go faster, fix problems and so on. The vast majority of them are worthless snake oil. I’m also a bit suspicious of Russian software – they’ve still got a reputation for dodgy programs and scams and anything that comes from a company called Loonies is bound to set the alarm bells ringing so Actual Booster doesn’t get off to a very promising start.

Nevertheless, after giving it a fairly thorough road test I can tell you that Actual Booster really does liven things up a bit. It’s also free, and as far as I can see there’s no iffy content and it doesn’t try to phone home. (more…)
