The new version of Office, called Office 2010 or Office 14 is available in two versions, 32 or 64 bits. If you buy the boxed version, you have both versions available and the key work on one like on the other. First thing, the choice is simply asking if your OS is 32 bit. If your PC is running Vista 64bit or 64 bit sub win7 however you choose. There is no difference in functionality or speed versions between 32 and 64 bits for word, PowerPoint and outlook. The only people who have a real interest in 64-bit install Office are those who use Excel to process millions of lines, e.g. the output of an ERP. This is clearly not the case of individuals or even the vast majority of companies. And we must have the PC that goes behind this kind of manipulation. Cannot install a part of the suite in 64 bits (excel) and the remaining 32 bits.
The new version of Microsoft Office is definitely a success. And this is the second success after Microsoft, in fact, Windows 7. The two - a sort of compensation for the fiasco of Windows Vista and Office 2007 c his famous band (Ribbon) interface, which caused so much irritation that many still remain faithful to the good old Office 2003. However, the yield-to-date office suite, the 2010, I think, will force users to change the temper justice with mercy. Innovations that make life easier, there are so many that truly enhance productivity and make you reconsider the approach to work with documents in line with current cloud realities. Yes, now an office package finally got the chance of joint working remotely on a document and edit it via a web browser.
Perhaps the most significant changes in their email client. First, the interface has changed Outlook. Now mailer provided with the same ribbon menu, as other application package. However, the interface is organized logically enough, but it takes time to adjust and get comfortable. All buttons and items have increased in size. In the role of the main menu, through which you can perform all application management (including even the account setup), supports the tab "File" in the left corner, replacing the button Office. Some familiar icons that were usually on hand, has gone missing from their seats and moved to the tab. So that the path to them has increased by one click. However, the problem can be solved by forming their own Quick Access Toolbar with frequently used shortcuts and commands.
The second most important innovations implemented in the postal service - is integration with social networks through the add Outlook Social Connector. Changes are expected, and rightly so, that will allow users that stores all your contacts in Outlook, exercise and other communications through this mailer, synchronization of email accounts with web accounts. In the end, all your correspondence and Web activity (e.g., communication in Twitter and blogs) will be concentrated in one place. However, while you can only work with accounts on LinkedIn, Facebook, MySpace or Microsoft Sharepoint Server. Unfortunately, the Russian networks in the list of supported Outlook unavailable.
Another innovation that Microsoft stands out is useful to those who lead a very active correspondence. We are a new type of sorting of letters - in conversations. Now, all correspondence with one person can be distinguished from the general flow of mail, and quickly scan for important points. Agree, it is convenient. Now, about three of the key applications of the package. These works with office documents with a little ribbon interface with the button File, which can now be equated to Mission Control Centre, as it carried through all the basic manipulation of the instruments (save, share, print and publishing). Now, through the "File" you can quickly prepare a paper for publication because in the tab Print Now all the settings and print commands.
So you can make any necessary edits and changes to choose the format, orientation, and other parameters on the spot, without having to go for this, as before, in the Preview.
64 Bit Office 2010
The benefit of this version is mainly for users who work with very large Excel files. Indeed, it is mentioned in some article that users having files with financial data or work on projects (MS Project) very large (e.g., build airplanes) will benefit from using 64-bit version. Basically, it is to see if you are using files larger than 2GB that is very big for most users.
If you have any of these applications installed on your PC or if you plan to install one, you can all just do not cohabit with the 64-bit
- Microsoft Excel 2010 Viewer
- Access 2010 database engine
- Microsoft Office 2010 (Click-to-run)
- Office 2007 Compatibility Pack
And most importantly, check the compatibility of 64-bit add-ins developed by others (free or paid). It's a safe bet that the add-ins pay for professionals becomes progressively compatible. As for the others for my part being completely dependent on EndNote for word, which is not compatible with 64-bit versions, the issue is settled, I stay with Office 32 bits.
Note that in developing VBA code perfectly compatible 32 and 64 bits is not obvious ... New types of variable appeared in order to manage the large amount of data. But these types of variables are not included in earlier versions of VBA, hence the need to write conditional seconds if you expect the workbook is opened with earlier versions.
Well, it seems that Microsoft's recommendation for the version 2010 is generally used 32-bit version of Office 2010 because some components (control, aka add-in plug, VBA) are not compatible with Office 64 bits.
