I understand that if we ever need to remove one of the three Office installations, we can in effect re-use that license on another computer. I hope this is true in case it turns out that the new computer has a defect and needs to be returned. Threats include any threat of suicide, violence, or harm to another.

If you have been sold one of the other bundles, probably Office Professional with the understanding that you can do 3 concurrent installs you either have a "bootleg" copy or you have misunderstood the license terms for that bundle. Yes, if you have the "3-computer" Office Home and Student license then you can "transfer" any of those 3 installations to new computers as required. You simply uninstall from the current computer and install on the new one.
You may have to use "phone activation" if you get a "too many installs" type error message. Details required : characters remaining Cancel Submit 1 person found this reply helpful. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.

Send, receive, and manage e-mail and instant messages. Once you've properly inspected your document, you can click the Save and Send button to open up options for auto-attaching the document to an e-mail, saving to the Web with a Windows Live account for collaboration or accessibility from anywhere, saving to SharePoint for interoffice availability, and other options. Your print preview options are also now in Backstage, so you can see how your document will look without opening extra windows.
Though useful, the reworked File menu or Backstage window may be one of the interface tweaks people have a hard time getting used to, but we think having all these features in one place is much more efficient.
Like Office , Office lets you quickly change styles, colors, and fonts in most applications of the suite through the use of pull-down Style Galleries. In PowerPoint, for example, along with helpful image-editing tools more on that later , you can quickly preview how effects will change your image simply by mousing over each effect.
Similarly, as you mouse over different fonts in Word, the document will change in real time before you commit. Office makes this "view before you commit" functionality available in more than just stylistic changes to your document.
Some of our favorite new interface features are the paste-preview tools that let you see what pasted content will look like before you commit to adding it to your document. In Word , for example, once you've copied information elsewhere, you can quickly mouse over the paste preview tools to see how content will appear using formatting from the source, merged formatting, or how it will look with the source formatting stripped out.
Alongside interface enhancements like the Ribbon across all Office applications, Microsoft Office offers a number of features that should reduce the time you spend gathering information so you can spend more time on solid presentation.
Simple image and video editing tools are welcome additions to anyone who works with media in their documents and presentations. Many of the new features push your presentations away from the usual bullet points and toward more-engaging visual effects. PowerPoint now provides options for editing video right within the program. You can trim video so your audience sees only the video content you want them to see. You also can add video effects, fades, and even create video triggers to launch animations during your presentation.
These video bookmarks can be used to cue captions at specific points during a video, for example. When it's a static presentation you're working on--such as a publication, newsletter, or pamphlet--Office lets you color-correct and add artistic effects and borders to images so you won't need a third-party image editor. We found many of these features to be quite intuitive once we were able to track them down in their appropriate Ribbon tabs. Like many features in Office , it's not the functionality that can be challenging, but rather the getting used to the feature that is.
Outlook has seen many notable feature improvements in Office , which will save users time in their daily e-mail tasks if they get past the initial learning curve.
The new Conversation View lets you group threads together so you can view an entire conversation in one place. With plenty of competition in Google's online Gmail search tools, Outlook needed to make attractive new features to continue to be competitive, and this feature makes searching through e-mail much easier. You also can run Clean Up to strip out redundant messages and threads so you have just the info you need without scanning through several e-mails.
Microsoft got mixed reviews during beta testing of this feature, but we think that this might be one of those features like the Ribbon that will become more useful as users become acclimated with a new way of doing things. A new feature called Quicksteps lets you create macros for common daily tasks like regular forwarding of specific e-mails to third parties.
Say you have sales e-mails from several parties that are sent to you on a regular basis, but need to go to another person within your company.
With Quicksteps you could custom create a macro that would automatically send that e-mail on with the click of a button. Like the Conversation View features, Quicksteps is not immediately intuitive, but after some study, it will save you an enormous amount of time processing e-mails in the future. Even with the tweaks for simplifying your e-mail processing, Outlook still seems more in tune with large business clients than with smaller companies that could probably get by with online alternatives.
New coauthoring in Word, PowerPoint, and OneNote, as well as advanced e-mail management and calendaring capabilities in Outlook, make collaboration much easier, reducing the time it takes to finish large projects with several contributors. Word and PowerPoint now have a syncing mechanism to avoid sudden changes while you're working on a project a major concern in the beta. We wonder how people will react to this specific change, since now the only way to have live coauthoring without the need to sync up changes will be through OneNote.
In any case, offering access to shared documents in key business applications from anywhere is something any international business or business traveler can appreciate. Google Docs, though not as elegant, are extremely easy to share with other users, so offering OneNote as the only option may not be enough. Live edits in OneNote are only one of the new features for Microsoft's notebook-like application, however. Sketching out ideas, collaborating in real time, and adding images, video, audio, and text are all available in OneNote as it sits to the side of what you're working on.
This enables you to drop sections of text, images, and other tidbits into OneNote's interface to keep all your ideas in one place. An upgraded Navigation Bar makes it easy to jump between notebooks to copy or merge information. When you're collaborating on a project, OneNote now features automatic highlighting so you can quickly find changes to your notebook since your last save. Features like these, along with new visual styles and a Web version with live changes, make OneNote the key collaborative tool of the suite.
Our only question is whether people will accept OneNote as their mainstay for live collaboration since it has less name recognition than bigger apps in the suite. In addition to upgraded collaboration tools, you'll now be able to work on your documents anywhere with slimmed down Web-based versions of Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and OneNote. The Web based components will make sharing information easier whether it's from your home computer, your phone, or when you're traveling for business.
The Web apps preserve the look and feel of a document regardless of the device you're working on--even if it's your smartphone. These apps seem to work as advertised mostly, but we wonder how well the Web-based versions will work when server loads reach into the several millions of users. What sets these apps apart from Google Docs and other services is that your documents and spreadsheets retain their formatting, giving Office 's Web apps a leg up against its online counterparts.
Excel has received some tweaks as well, with easier-to-read, color-coded spreadsheets and smart tools to bring in the information you need. In Excel , you can flip through the tabs to access formulas, insert diagrams and charts, and quickly import data from connected sources.
A new feature called Sparklines lets you create a small chart in a single cell. This lets users compare data across multiple cells with added graphical elements to make them easier to read and spot trends over time. These moves seem to suggest that Microsoft is trying to make spreadsheets a little more accessible to a wider swath of users.
We welcome the new customization features, especially as Excel retains the powerful tools users have come to expect. Those who are involved in creating their own publications and newsletters will appreciate new changes to Publisher With several available templates, you can add your personal business logo graphics and branding and then preview them in real time across each template style.
Microsoft has added ligatures and Stylistic Alternates to fonts so you can add your own personal touches to your publications. Like the other applications we've talked about in Office , Publisher offers the same new useful image-editing tools, so effects, color-correction, cropping, and more are only a few clicks away.
