Microsoft Calendars still a mess...
I wonder if Microsoft New Outlook, Microsoft Phone Outlook and Microsoft To Do will ever get their $hit together and present consistent options? Take, for instance, snooze times on a task reminder, you can set a great range of options on a New Calendar Item (1), but at the time

The team bringing Microsoft Office to the web are blogging. On the desktop Office is a (some say too) complex, powerful beast so it's interesting to see how they are approaching the web versions....
Stubborn language settings in Office Outlook 2003?
It won't concern US readers but I had a problem where the language in Outlook defaulted back to US English. This was in-spite of setting the default language in other Office applications. The solution...
I LOVE "THE RIBBON", do you?
I'm going to be writing about some "recently ribboned" applications in the next few weeks, some better than others. Before that I have decided to set out how I feel about a variety of "already ribbone...
