Microsoft Office Communications Server 2007, Configuring Certification Practice Exam

In the Office 2007 Suite, Microsoft has built in many new unique features. One of the most impressive is the ability to publish text directly to internet blog sites using Word. In fact, it even has the ability to publish a single article simultaneously to multiple blogs on multiple sites. This feature can be extremely beneficial to an individual with a single blog as well as the business associate that contributes to multiple blogs.

                The ability to publish posts to blog sites directly from Word has a number of advantages. One advantage is that it can minimize the time necessary to be connected to the internet (which in turn minimizes the chance of internet or software problems that kick you offline or of the website). It is also a great tool to be able to open an existing larger text document, and publish a post for existing text rather than opening a new document and copying and pasting back and forth. For those that post the same writing to multiple blogs, like article marketing or SEO professionals, this can be a huge time saver. Image the time it would take to log into five or six blog site and pasting your text into each one versus one click to post them all simultaneously.

                Okay, so let us get down to how to do it. It is actually quite simple. The very first thing that you must do is to set up an account with a blogging web service. You can do so by searching the internet for blog websites or by looking at the list that Word gives you to choose from. The list in Word will give you both free services as well as ones with price tags attached. Here are the free ones that are listed in Word: Windows Live Spaces, Blogger, and WordPress. When you set up your account be sure to retain the following information: your user id, user password and your blogs web address. The web address will typically be just like the web address of your blog space provider except with your blogs name in place of the www.  

Now back to Microsoft Office. It is likely that you will begin with a fresh slate rather than taking text from an existing document, so open a new blank Word document. If you do have text already simply open that file instead. You will then want to click on the ‘File’ menu in the upper left hand corner of Word where the Office logo is located. Choose ‘Publish’, then click on ‘Blog’. After clicking ‘Blog’, Word will ask for you to register your Blog websites with user id’s and passwords. You can easily manage these accounts later if you need to add or edit your information. You will then be able to write your blog post including photos associated with your writing. Add photos by clicking on the ‘Insert’ tab in the toolbar and choosing ‘picture’.

                Once you have completed your post and would like to publish it to your blogs, simply click on the ‘Publish’ button in the toolbar. Your text and photos will be automatically posted to each blog site that you have provided information for. Have fun posting to your blog with this new feature or relax with the extra time you just saved.

It’s been months since Windows Vista and Office 2007 hit the market. With the hoopla behind us, and after a period of observing both products in the marketplace, it looks like Office 2007, especially in conjunction with SharePoint Server 2007, seems to have a lot of value for larger companies interested in workflow automation and electronic content management. There doesn’t seem to be much advantage in upgrading to Vista anytime soon. In fact, it looks like organizations should wait at least until service Pack 1 is released in early 2008.

Issues with Vista

Vista has its short comings, including missing drivers for printers and other peripheral devices. There is also a lack of application support from independent software vendors. For example, Adobe won’t issue updates to Dreamweaver, InDesign and Photoshop until this summer. A number of antivirus products and VoIP technologies don’t work with Vista yet either.

Vista also requires pretty beefy hardware, especially if you want to take advantage of the slick Aero Glass user interface. Even minimum system requirements are more demanding than any previous Windows operating system.

But the biggest problem with Vista is there’s no compelling business case for upgrading. The previous operating system, Windows XP, works perfectly well for most organizations and will continue to be supported for another 2 years. Unlike earlier generations of Windows where upgrading a few desktops caused network disruptions, Vista seems to work well within networks of XP computers. Vista introduces some major interface changes and new ways of doing things that will take some getting used to. As a result, the costs of upgrading – such as hardware upgrades, user training and compatibility testing – aren’t outweighed by new features and functionality.

Wait to Upgrade to Vista until Early 2008

It sounds like most prominent third party software vendors are shooting to issue updates by the time Service Pack 1 (SP1) arrives. In addition, it sounds like SP1 will resolve most driver issues. Since SP1 is slated to be released in early 2008, we recommend waiting to upgrade to Windows Vista at least until then. Frankly, if you can wait longer, it makes even more sense to hold off on upgrading your operating system until you have to upgrade your computer.

Issues with Office 2007

The biggest issue with Office 2007 is the new application interface. It is quite different from Office 2003 and it typically takes several days for users to adjust to the changes. For example, it took me five minutes to discover how to save and print a Word document the first time I tried.

Office 2007 is valuable, especially in Conjunction with SharePoint Server 2007

Office 2007, especially in conjunction with SharePoint Server 2007, is making a splash in the market place. With this new release, SharePoint Server has evolved into the integration technology for portal, collaboration, work flow, Web-content and document management applications. As a result, SharePoint in conjunction with Office 2007 is providing many larger organizations with an alternative to more complex and expensive custom developed portals and work flow automation applications, as well as content management applications such as Documentum and FileNet.

The new version of Small Business Server, which bundles SharePoint, Windows, Exchange and SQL Servers into a package for small businesses, won’t be available until after the release of the new Longhorn version of Windows Server, which is expected in late 2007. As a result, we won’t know how SharePoint and Office 2007 applications for small business will pan out until early 2008.

So don’t jump on the bandwagon just yet, especially if you are a smaller organization. You’ll have an easier time and get more bang for you buck once Vista is more compatible and SharePoint is proven for small businesses.
