Outlook’s broken let’s fix it…

The other day I surf, I found a nice article about Microsoft Office Outlook 2010. Outlook’s broken let’s fix it… So here are some point copied from it…

Taken from http://www.email-standards.org

After testing the latest beta of Outlook 2010 and seeing the same poor standards support as 2007, a senior member of the Outlook team confirmed they plan on continuing to use Word to render HTML emails. Not only that, but early tests indicate that HTML support in the Word engine has not been improved in any way. Same bugs. Same quirks.

To demonstrate just how bad the Word rendering engine is in Outlook 2010, here’s exactly the same email rendered in Outlook 2000, and then Outlook 2010. Click the image for a full sized version.

Outlook 2010 is still in beta and a year away from public release. Either we make it clear this is a bad decision now, or the disconnect between Outlook users and the rest of the email world will continue to grow. Email designers will be stuck building emails using the same clunky combination of tables for layout, inline CSS and font tags for many years to come.

Thankfully, Microsoft want to hear your feedback about this. From the Outlook Product Manager Dev Balasubramanian:

“The Office team, and Microsoft in general, is always open to and interested in customer feedback so we can prioritize the various needs of our diverse user base in product planning and development.”

“This conversation alone has reignited the topic within the Outlook and Word teams and in and of itself will contribute to future design considerations… We want to hear feedback on this position, and I’m sure you and your readers will provide it.”

It’s time for us to send the strongest message yet to Microsoft, and we need your help to get started. To make this happen, we’ve built fixoutlook.org.

OK now back from Net Surfer :)

If  you do love Outlook and want to improve the rendering engine in Outlook 2010, I suggest you just go to http://www.fixoutlook.org/. You can find more detail there… And please spread this information to the other…

Peace

Excel 2007 Crash di Windows 7

Tadi pagi ada temen si vmancer nanyain kenapa Microsoft Excel-nya tiba-tiba crash di Windows 7. Ms Officenya sendiri belum terinstal service pack sama sekali. Errornya kira-kira:

“Microsoft Office Excel has stopped working” event name : APPCRASH

Nah Net Surfer pun ber-Googling dan berikut beberapa hasil yang bisa dimanfaatkan:

1. ketik regedit –> tekan enter –> perlu hak administrator
2. Pada browser regedit, navigasi ke \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\Excel\Addins\BtOfficeIntegration.1
3. Pada kolom Name, klik dua kali LoadBehavior, lalu pada kolom Value data
4. Ubah angka 3 menjadi angka 0 lalu tekan OK, sehingga nilai data LoadBehavior tersebut menjadi 0×00000000(0)
5. Tutup regedit dengan men klik tombol close

Alternative lain adalah dengan merepair seperti yang dijelaskan disini. Kemudian anda juga bisa meremove excel ad-ins "send to bluetooth" karena sejak versi Windows Vista, bluetooth memang susah untuk digunakan pada Vista (sering hang, error dan bug-bug lain)

Mudah-mudahan cara-cara tersebut bisa membantu… Tapi jika anda memiliki koneksi internet, alangkah baiknya jika anda rajin mengupdate Windows anda termasuk aplikasi-aplikasi didalamnya! JIka cara diatas tidak bisa membantu silahkan klik disini

Peace
