Unless you bump into limits with the 32-bit version of these applications, however, Microsoft recommends that you stick with the 32-bit edition of Office, even if your computer runs a 64-bit operating system. The 64-bit editions of Excel and Microsoft Project can use 圆4’s ability to address more memory to run huge spreadsheets or project models, respectively (though strangely the same does not hold true for large Access databases).

We have since confirmed that that statement is incorrect, and that mobile device support does exist in both 64-bit Windows and 64-bit Office 2010.

The 64-bit edition, however, does not have the full functionality of the 32-bit suite: Among other things, third-party Outlook Social Connector add-ons (for displaying updates from popular social networks within Outlook) are not immediately available for 圆4 (Microsoft says they will arrive eventually).Įditor’s note (5/11/10): Previously we stated (based on information from Microsoft) that Outlook 圆4 does not support synchronization with Windows Mobile devices because 64-bit versions of Windows lack the Windows Mobile Device Center. Office 2010 is the first iteration of the Microsoft suite to arrive in both 32- and 64-bit versions. This window also leads you to menus for application-specific options. Instead, clicking on the File tab now brings up a new window (called Backstage view) with a slew of options for creating, saving, sharing, and printing, as well as for accessing recent versions of the current document–or easily opening others via a handy list of recent documents. Gone is the big and somewhat ungainly Office button that appeared in the upper-left of each window. Overall, the suite’s look is more consistent from one app to another–and more subdued than its predecessor, primarily because Microsoft opted for a palette of mostly grey and white, versus the sky blue of Office 2007.

Improved customization features for the ribbon interface, which premiered in the key Office 2007 programs and is now present suitewide, could mollify some of the ribbon’s many critics: You can now assemble the commands you use most frequently–regardless of where they normally reside–in tabs and groups of your own creation. Some of the new features should impress even jaded Office users PowerPoint’s Broadcast Slide Show function, which lets you show a presentation remotely to anyone who has a Web browser, heads the list. In general, the shipping version of the suite isn’t much different from the Office 2010 beta we wrote about last year. In fact, they’re not intended to: Microsoft has clearly stated that it created Office Web Apps as companions to, rather than replacements for, their desktop counterparts. For businesses that wish to host their own Office Web Apps privately, Microsoft will also offer SharePoint versions of the online suite.īut while Office Web Apps enable at least minimal collaboration–and while they shine at maintaining document formatting that competing, third-party Web-based apps tend to mangle–they’re unlikely to bowl over anyone who has enjoyed the rich features in Google Docs, Zoho Office, and various other Web-based productivity tools (see “ Microsoft’s Web Apps: Easy Access and Limited Functionality“).
The most immediately visible innovation in the new suite is a set of Web-based applications–online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote–slated to appear on Windows Live when the desktop editions ship in June.
Nevertheless, with Office 2010, Microsoft continues to refine the dramatic overhaul that it began with the 2007 editions, while adding a few nifty new features with marquee appeal–all at prices much lower than we saw for similar Office 2007 packages.
