ALT KEY IN OFFICE 2007 In Office 2007, you no longer have to hold down the ALT key to use shortcuts to access menus and their corresponding commands/sub-menus. Now you just have to hold ALT down long enough for the letters to pop up next to the menu headings. This enables a far more accurate and faster method of reaching the commands that you need! 

TOP SECRET NOTES

If you have something super secret to say and want to make sure that it’s private, check out privnote!

Just write your note, and you’ll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, it will see the note in her browser and the note will automatically self-destruct, which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won’t work anymore.

Outlook lets you display its contents using different views. For example, you can display your address book in one of the following view: Business Card, Address Cards, Detailed Address Cards, or Phone List. You can further customize each of these views to include the fields you find most useful.
