Newsgroup for Office/Word 2007?
I prefer using Vista's Windows Mail or Outlook Express to read newsgroups.
(I don't like Web-based forums or newsgroups.) Can anyone recommend a newsgroup for Word 2007 only, or Office 2007 only? Thanks. |

Newsgroup for Office/Word 2007?
There are no NGs specifically for Office 2007. Those who run the NGs made
this decision based on the fact that we hadn't had separate ones for previous versions of Word, overlooking the fact that O2007 is so different from previous versions. So you just post in whatever Word NG is appropriate for the type of problem (.pagelayout, .formatting.longdocs, .numbering, etc.). -- Suzanne S.

You can turn off the Community feature when you set it up in Windows Mail/OE if you like (often broken anyway). You won't find any Word/Office 2007-only newsgroups there, but you will find the largest concentration of Microsoft MVPs responding to Word/Office questions in the microsoft.public.word.* and microsoft.public.office.* newsgroups (there are some MSoft employees who hang out here, too, but only on their own time, as I understand it). Most of the MVPs access these groups using OE, WM, or some other newsreader, rather than using the browser-based methods. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Brian Bradley" brian[HYPHEN]bradley[WHERE]cox.net wrote in message ...

Brian,
Also, I'm sure this is obvious to you, but for the benefit of anyone else reading he If you're asking a question about Office 2007 in these newsgroups, be sure to mention that fact in your original post. Trying to answer for both 2007 and earlier versions when it isn't clear which one applies makes for very convoluted answers. -- Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org "Suzanne S.
