office 2007

I know this doesn't belong in this group, but because I am not a beta tester for MS Office 2007, I am sure someone may be able to pass on a suggestion if it is not in the program
Rumor has it that you can create PDF files via this new version of office. One thing I hope is in the software is a way to import and edit PDFs like WordPerfect X3 can (but not very well in my opinion). I have seen some screen shots of the new office and it looks sweet. This is the one feature I hope is included in the New Office when it is released around Jan 2007.
If a Office 2007 beta tester could see if this is a feature, and if not, suggest it to be added.
Thanks

I'm a tester of Office 2007, but am not really clear on what the NDA rules on features are, so I can't answer your question. The purpose of this reply is so that you don't expect information if it's not appropriate for us to give.

Thank you Nancy. I would like to clarify my request. I am not looking for information. I would like a Office beta tester to see if importing and modifying PDF can be done or not. If not, to submit it as a suggestion before Office 2007 is released around Jan 2007. I am not asking for anyone to verify if this is a feature. All I am asking is if it is not, to submit it as a suggestion. No need to reply stating that it is or isn't due to NDA.
Thanks again,

Thank you Andre,
If it is possible that someone could suggest to have an import feature added for PDFs. Currently, WordPerfect 3X offeres an import feature but in my opinion doesn't do a great job. I know that some users will look at this as a feature that will make Office 2007 even better and more of a reason to upgrade.

You can discuss the applications that are allowed, Word 2007, Excel 2007, Outlook 2007, PowerPoint 2007, Access2007 and Publisher 2007.
Yes, these applications can export to PDF but cannot import or edit existing PDF files. So you still need your Adobe Acrobat Writer for the time being.

OK, basically at the moment - NDA is this...
You're not allowed to talk about the server side of Office, nor are you allowed to talk or even mention the product that has 6 letters and starts with a G (being careful here myself) as those are still under NDA. Any other aspect of Office is NOT under NDA so we can talk about it freely :o)
We can post screenshots, we can write articles and hints and tips, we can even write reviews, but as long as it has nothing to do with the server side of Office and the product that has 6 letters and starts with a G - you're safe :o)

I believe this is an option for the actual PDF viewer... which is in fact Adobe Acrobat (the main one anyway).

Actually, from what I've been reading, the Office 2007 beta is full to capacity, and there won't likely be any more testers. And, since we seem to be so close to Beta 2, I don't think any features will be added.
However, it's my understanding that when Beta 2 is released, it will be released for public preview. If so, you will be able to get the beta and examine it, but won't be able to file bug reports or suggestions.
If I'm reading you correctly, you want someone in the beta to see if importing and modifying PDF can be done. And if not, you'd like them to file a bug report as a suggestion. Not a bad request.

That is what I am requesting. I am not asking if it is or is not in the new version. Just asking if it isn't, please suggest it. I am not asking for a reply to tell me if it is or is not in the program :).

I've got a problem. I was going to try Office 2007, so I did everything and then when I go to the SmartSource to get Office 2007 and type in my e-mail address, I get a message.
ERROR!
User profile syncrhonization can not proceed! The email address specified is invalid! Please contact customer support or try again.
Thanks for any help. I'm aware this is a Vista NG, but I'm not sure if there's an Office 2007 NG yet.
O.S. is Windows XP Home Edition SP2 since I'll still be waiting a few weeks to get the Beta 2... I guess this gives me time for them (Microsoft) to iron out some of the issues with Beta 2 before I get it. And maybe there'll be more drivers available.

You just Violated Your NDA, just FYI (the Smart Source Program is NOT Available to the General Public, and is Under an NDA, just FYI).

Wrong again bird brain! I bet you can get both of your feet in your mouth at the same time right? just FYI P.S. Frank FYI

You are incorrect Kevin. I am not a connect beta tester but when it went to public beta, that is an option when you are in the area to download the software. Please get your facts right before posting.

I must say that beta 2 is a huge improvement over beta 1, the new Ribbon UI is simply wonderful. I can't believe with all those new features it runs just as fast as the 2003 version. I think I'm going to install it on my production machine.
Good job office team!
