Drop 'Microsoft' in front of Office applications

W

William Yang

Is it possible to have the Office applications only display the names of the
software and not have Microsoft in front of it? This is particularly
pointless when users have a lot of Office applications open and the toolbar
truncates the names to fit all the open windows along the botton. This
usually results in toolbar buttons that all just same Microsoft rather than
Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access or Project. I understand the importance of
branding but given that there is finite real estate within the tool bar, I
think using names that speak more to user tasks rather than the software
company will help improve usability.
