==== 2007 Office system Beta 2 = Feedback Opportunities =========
Regarding your question on submitting bugs/suggestions/feedback to Microsoft
on the publically available 2007 Office system Beta 2 products, it would be a
heck of an administrative task to have a formal bug reporting system (i.e.
fill in all the blocks on a form etc) that could be handled, but there are
several ways for you to make your issues, ideas, concerns and kudos to
Microsoft for 2007 Office System Beta 2.
A. From within the Office 2007 apps you can
============================================
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button [File]
2. Go to the bottom of that menu and select the Options choice.
3. In the Options - select 'Resources'
4. Use the 'Contact us' button.
The web page there has a feedback submission link.
B. The Apps themselves can help report themselves
====================================================
Also, while still in the Options Resources turn on the 'Customer Experience'
program tool. The data MS gathered from the last version on usage was used
to set the baseline on what was changed from 2003 to 2007 (including the new
ribbon User Interface (UI) and that data will continued to used for tuning
the 2007 version before it is Released to Manufacturing (RTM). The
information is submitted anonymously by the reporting tool and is an opt-in
choice for you to make.
C. More on being part of Usability testing and feedback.
=====================================================================
You may want to consider enrolling in the User Interface improvement efforts
at
http://microsoft.com/usability/enroll.mspx
D. COOL 2007 Office System Beta 2 feedback Tool
================================================
Download and install the MS 'Send a Smile' tool from the Download Center at
http://microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=A2E1F4E2-BC0F-4403-B09F-7A677D55F274
Installing Send-a-Smile places two 'smileys' in your system tray.
Smile - to capture a picture of and comment on things you
like in the new version.
Frown - to capture a picture of and comment on how
something you're seeing might be improved by changing it.
You can capture a screen with a single click and type in details of how
you'd improve the apps for usability different from what you're seeing now
(may be helpful to also include info on how you use that particular app on a
daily/regular or even infrequent basis to set a context for the people
reviewing that feedback). After you type it you can send that feedback off to
Microsoft where it is reviewed.
You can also capture a frown or a smile using the Keyboard.
Smile Ctrl+Shift+) [Ctrl+shift+zero key]
Frown Ctrl+Shift+( [Ctrl+shift+9]
E. The Peer to Peer feedback
============================
The discussions here in the public MS Office Community/newsgroups
news://msnews.microsoft.com or
by browser
http://microsoft.com/office/community/en-us/default.mspx
Your fellow testers are looking forward to feedback, tips, traps and
basically the experience of you and others with the 2007 Office System apps.
Friendly discussions, point/counterpoint etc on how somethings are working,
if they're easy to find (even if 'awkward' at first and it would be better if
tweaked by doing xxxx. [going back to the pre 2007 Office System menus isn't
an option MS will be offering] <g>. There's a lot to learn, discover and get
comfortable and a growing list of videos, demos and more through the
http://microsoft.com/office/preview website already and more on the way.

I take it back!!
Those nicely described ways dont actually seem to let you just report a bug!
There doesnt seem much point in a beta2 release if you cant easily report
possible bugs!

The word I get is that this is a "community preview" meaning it gives you a
chance to see what is in store for users. Bug reporting is being handled by
those that have been beta testers from the beginning.

Maybe the "worthy" could report that background fill of objects doesnt seem
to work correctly for me.

You might try the "send a smile" option, Trish. You can send frowns, too,
and I believe there's a place to type in comments. With any luck, the bug
will get to the right people.

Thanks from me too. ((inc. Tolhz) Still think Msoft are missing a chance to
collect bugs, "comment on things you like or might be improved" isnt quite
the same as "I dont think this is working!"
Sorry if I'm coming over as an angry young woman but the first three
programs I tried from 2003 all failed in different ways and I've just
realised also that 2007 is not very downward compatible! !

be ironed out (or I have a lot of re-writing to do when clients upgrade)

This is a known issue with Beta 2. I have added it to the list of
publically viewable known issue (it will take a few days until the external
site is refreshed and contains this item).
