Microsoft Office 2010 atau Office seri ke 14 merupakan penerus dari Office versi 2007 yang merupakan versi ke 11. Kenapa tidak ada Office 2008, 2009? Tiba-tiba langsung 2010. Link download MS Office 2010 ini memang direncanakan mulai tersedia paling cepat akhir tahun ini, atau awal tahun depan 2010.
Preview Office 2010
Walaupun
masih sedikit bocoran mengenai info Microsof Office 2010, pihak
Microsoft mengungkapkan bahwa pada Office 2010 ini akan lebih ringan
dari pada Microsoft Office versi sebelumnya. Pada Microsoft Office 2010,
Microsoft Office akan mendukung dua versi yag terpisah, yaitu versi 32
bit dan versi 64 bit dan Office 2010 akan menjadi pertama yang melakukan
dua versi yang berbeda, di kedua versi yang berbeda, Microsoft belum
mau banyak berbicara mengenai keunggulan dan perbedaan dari kedua versi
tersebut.
Versi percobaan Microsoft Office 2010 rencananya baru
bisa di coba pada akhir tahun ini, bagi yang penasaran dengan interface
Office 2010, Anda bisa melihat preview gambar tersebut dibawah ini,
gambar di bawah ini mungkin akan berbeda dengan versi final dari
Microsoft Office 2010, mengingat sekarang Microsoft Office 2010 masih
dalam tahap pengembangan dan mungkin saja intrface nya bisa berbeda.
Namun, versi developer/technical reviewnya sudah beredar dan dapat didownload dan dicoba tanpa serial key.

Preview 1
Preview 2
Microsoft
kept the details of its next iteration of Office pretty closely guarded
up until the release of the Technical Preview in conjunction with the
opening of the Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC) July 13th Now, with
the software in the hands of thousands of Microsoft partners, MVPs, and
other “selected testers,” the cat is out of the bag. I was told by my
MVP lead at Microsoft to blog about it to my heart’s content.
My
first impression was that Office 2010 is going to be to Office 2007 what
Windows 7 is to Vista. Although personally I liked both of them, Vista
and Office 2007 inspired an inordinate number of complaints from
consumers and IT folks alike. Maybe the changes were a little too
drastic or maybe it’s just that the timing wasn’t right. Whatever the
reasons, many people skipped the new OS and apps and stuck with Office
2003 on XP.
After using Office 2010 extensively for the last couple
of weeks, I’m finding more and more to like about it. One big change is
that this version of Office comes in a 64-bit version, so those running a
64-bit OS can take full advantage of 64-bit performance and stability.
Keeping in mind that this is beta software and some things could change
before the final release, here are the top 10 features that I think will
make Office 2010 worth the upgrade.
1: The Ribbon
Why
would I list the Ribbon as the number one new feature in Office 2010,
when the Ribbon was introduced in Office 2007 — and in fact, was the
feature that caused the most controversy? Although some of us loved the
new Ribbon interface, many others hated it, so much so that third-party
developers soon devised programs to restore the old familiar menus. An
example is Classic Menu from
Addintools.
Office
2010 not only keeps the Ribbon; it has now been added to all the Office
programs, including Outlook and OneNote. But don’t panic: The Office
2010 implementation is Ribbon Done Right. The difference is that now you
have control over your Ribbon and what items appear on its tabs, and
you can even add tabs of your own and put your favorite commands on
there. No more despair because a favorite command that was on an Outlook
2003 menu can’t be found anywhere on the Ribbon.
All you have to do is right-click the Ribbon and select Customize The Ribbon
. This opens a dialog box from which you can make new Ribbon tabs and add or remove commands from the tabs, as shown in
Figure A.
Figure A
The Ribbon in Office 2010 applications is completely customizable.
2: Office button options
Office
2007 users are familiar with the Office button, the big round button in
the upper-left corner of Office applications, from which you can select
a variety of tasks and options.
Figure B shows the Word 2007 Office menu.
Figure B
The Office button in Office 2007 provided a number of options.
The Office button in Office 2010 has a new look, and it’s been added to Outlook and OneNote, which didn’t have it before.
Figure C shows what you see when you click the Office button (now implemented as a Ribbon tab) in Word 2010.
Figure C
The new Office menu has a whole new look and layout.
You’ll
find many of the same options as before, along with a number of new
ones. For example, in the Sharing section, you’ll now see options to
save the document to SharePoint or change the file type, as you can see
in
Figure D. The Back button at the top of the page returns you to the document itself.
Figure D
You’ll discover some new options on the menus.
3: Outlook improvements
Outlook
is the Microsoft Office program I use most often. It’s the first
application I fire up when I sit down at the computer in the morning and
it’s the last application I close when I shut down for the night. And
I’m checking my mail and calendar and looking up contacts every 15
minutes (or more often) throughout the day. This makes changes to the
Outlook interface very important to me — I want it to work better, but I
don’t want to have to relearn everything and I don’t want to lose
functionality.
The Ignore button that’s been added to Outlook is
just what those of us who belong to lots of email discussion lists have
been waiting for. It allows you to get rid of conversation threads that
you aren’t interested in. Not only will it delete all messages in your
Inbox that belong to the thread, but it will automatically delete any
messages pertaining to that thread that come in later. Highlighting a
message and clicking the Ignore button displays the dialog box shown in
Figure E.
Figure E
The new Ignore button in Outlook makes it easy to bypass entire conversation threads.
Outlook
2010 also makes it easier to manage conversations. When you view
messages in Conversation View, you can right-click a conversation title
and select from a number of actions that you can perform, as shown in
Figure F. If you select Clean Up Conversation, redundant messages in the conversation will be deleted.
Figure F
You can perform more actions on a conversational thread, including clean up.
Another
great new Outlook feature is Quick Steps. This is a section on the
Ribbon’s Home tab where you can create single-click links to perform
tasks that normally require multiple steps. For example, if I want to
forward a message to my husband, instead of clicking forward and then
typing his address into the To box, I just click the To Tom link and the
forwarded message appears with his address already entered.
Figure G shows the Home tab of the Ribbon with the Quick Steps section highlighted.

The Quick Steps section of the Ribbon lets you perform multi-step tasks with one click.
4: Easier screenshots
If
you’re a tech writer, you’ll appreciate a new feature in Word 2010 —
the ability to capture screenshots from inside the application and paste
them into the document, all in a couple of clicks. The Screenshot
button has been added to the Insert tab of the Ribbon, as shown in
Figure H.
Figure H
Inserting screenshots into Word is easier than ever.
When
you click the Screenshot button, you’ll see the available screenshots,
and you can click on the one you want to insert into the document. After
you insert a screenshot, the picture tools will automatically appear to
allow you to perform photo editing.
5: Photo/video/graphics in Word and PowerPoint
The
photo-editing tools have gotten more sophisticated in Office 2010. Now
you can apply artistic effects, similar to those available in
third-party photo editing programs, such as PhotoShop, from within Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint. You even get a thumbnail preview of what the
effect will look like when applied to your picture, as shown in
Figure I.
Figure I
You can now apply artistic effects to photos from within Office programs.
In PowerPoint, you can apply artistic effects, reflections, shadows, etc., to both photos and videos, as shown in
Figure J.

The
Office 2010 applications also include several new SmartArt designs, to
make it more likely that you’ll find one that fits the needs of your
document or slide, as shown in
Figure K.

Office 2010 includes a number of new SmartArt designs.
6: Drag-and-drop navigation pane
One
of my favorite features in Word 2010 is the new drag-and-drop
navigation pane. It’s a little like the Word 2007 document map — on
steroids. Whereas the document map only gives you a view of your headers
and document sections, graphics, etc., the navigation pane lets you
rearrange your document easily by dragging and dropping within the pane.
To turn on this feature, click the View tab on the Ribbon and in the
Show section, check the box labeled Navigation Pane, as shown in
Figure L.
Figure L
Go to the View tab to display the new drag-and-drop navigation pane.
Want
to move that third first-level heading (and all the text under it) up
above the second one, without having to copy and paste it? No problem:
Just drag the heading where you want it in the navigation pane, which
displays to the left of your document, as shown in
Figure M.
Figure M
You can move whole sections of text by dragging and dropping the headings in the navigation pane.
7: Open in Protected View
When
you open an existing document for the first time in Word 2010, if you
try to start editing it, you may be surprised to find that nothing
happens. If you look more closely, you’ll see that the Ribbon is hidden.
What’s up with that? The document has opened in Protected View, as
shown in
Figure N.
Figure N
The first time you open a document in Word 2010, it opens in Protected View.
As
you can see, a red box across the top of the document notifies you that
you’re in Protected View and tells you that the file originated from an
Internet location. This gives you the opportunity to determine whether
it’s safe to open. If you click the Enable Editing button, the document
downloads, the Ribbon appears, and you can make changes to the document
as usual.
8: Excel sparklines and slicers
The most notable
additions to Excel 2010 are two new features called sparklines and
slicers. Sparklines are tiny charts that fit into a cell, as shown in
Figure O.
Figure O
Sparklines are charts that fit into a cell on an Excel spreadsheet.
The
sparklines shown in the figure use the line format, but you can also
create column or win/loss sparklines. You can edit the design of the
sparklines, too, as shown in
Figure P.
Figure P
You can edit the design of your sparklines.
Slicers
are objects you can use to filter the data in pivot tables, which you
can move around or resize on the screen. When data in the pivot table
changes, the slicer is automatically updated. Both sparklines and
slicers are created via the Insert tab on the Ribbon, as shown in
Figure Q.

9: OneNote improvements
OneNote
has been a bit of a forgotten stepchild in previous editions of Office,
perhaps because it only came with the “lowest” and “highest” editions
of Office 2007 — Home and Student edition and Ultimate edition. Most
Office users have the Standard, Small Business, or Professional edition.
Microsoft obviously wants to get more exposure for OneNote. According
to early reports, Office 2010 features will follow the same pattern as
Windows 7; that is, each successively more expensive edition will
contain all the applications of those editions “below” it, and more.
That means OneNote will be included in all editions of Office 2010.
The most obvious change to OneNote, as with Outlook, is that now it sports the Ribbon interface, as shown in
Figure R.
Figure R
OneNote, like its Office-mates, now sports the Ribbon interface.
In
OneNote, however, the Ribbon is minimized by default. Just click the
small arrow near the Help icon (blue question mark) in the upper-right
part of the window to maximize it.
The new OneNote includes a number
of improvements to simultaneous multiple-user editing of notebooks. New
content that was added (or changed) by another user is now highlighted,
so you immediately see what’s new. There is also color coding to
indicate the author of content that was written by someone else.
Searching has been enhanced, as well.
Another interesting feature is
linked note taking. If you put OneNote in linked mode, it will
automatically link your notes to whatever you’re viewing (Web page,
selection in Word, a particular slide in a PowerPoint presentation,
etc.). Then, when you hover over the link in OneNote, you see a
thumbnail of the material to which it’s linked and you can click it to
open the original.
For editing, OneNote now supports basic styles.
You can also add math equations, and there is a miniature translator
that provides a tooltip in your language if you hover over a foreign
word. Finally, on Tablets and other touchscreen PCs, OneNote supports
touch gestures, such as finger scrolling and panning and pinch zoom.
10: Simultaneous editing
Here
is another favorite of mine. I often leave a document that I’m working
on open on one computer, and then need to open and work on it from a
different computer. I get the familiar “file in use” dialog box that
gives me the option to open a read-only copy, create a local copy to
merge later, or receive notification when the original is available.
Office 2010 does away with that annoyance.
Now I can pick up where
I left off, or two people can edit a document simultaneously. A
notification in the status bar tells you who else is currently editing
the document, and where they’re making changes. Very cool!
Word can
also cache shared documents so you can edit them when you’re offline,
and any changes you make will automatically be synchronized with the
original on the server when you come back online. Now you don’t have to
remember to merge your document when you get back.
Summary
Office
2010 still has to go through a public beta (expected later this year)
before we see it in its final version, but what we’re seeing in the
technical preview looks promising. Whether you’re using Office 2007 or
you’re still using Office 2003, Office 2010 will offer enough new and
improved features and functionality to make it worth considering the
upgrade.
