What is going on with the download servers?!

My download got to 99%. 0.5MB to go and "trying to connect" :cry:

Me to. I have one machine sitting at .5 megs, and another chugging away at 25-150kps (rates all over the place, backup download).

To change the theme, click on the MIGHTY MS OFFICE LOGO :D, click word (or w/e) options, then on that screen is an option to change to "Obsidian (Black)".

EDIT: This is such a cool release. It actually works for a start, and I'm loving the new UI, but the black theme is too black

[jayme]

Thanks, but I've just opened up Outlook and gone into options, but I can't see anything about themes. Can you please point me in the right direction?

Thanks again.

go to excel options then change it in there - close and reopen outlook and it will adopt the same theme.

This is just not fair. Been downloading all night and now it stalls with 0.5MB of 1.1GB?!

[Ambroos]

i love bittorrent :-p

[StartMeUp]

Finished downloading!

Hoped that Ms was going to change the office icons.

For what it's worth. Office 2007 Refresh is a very quick performer. The visible changes also rock, the dark "obsidian" scheme is very professional. 9.8/10 from me!

You know how I avoided all this? got it off IRC, and then just used my own product key :)

[haveblue128]

Dreadfully SLLLLLOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! The site has crashed 6 times thus far. Tomorrow is another day for downloading.

[splur]

Thanks,

Ugh I only installed Outlook... so I guess there's no black theme then? (unless of course I installed the rest :pinch: )

try the trick I posted ;)

[TommyRush]

Anyone know if OneNote is updated?

[RevoDS]

And is Frontpage (ahem, Sharepoint Designer) in this release? As far as I know it wasn't in Beta 1

[Kristian]

If I sign up for the beta two office would I get a copy of the final like they did with 2003 office? Will the key work with the final?

I don't think you can sign up for office 2007 beta anymore, and only a select few beta testers for office 2003 recieved the full final product. However the beta 2 package we recieved was massive and very good.

We got a portable FM-radio with ms logo on it as a gift when the beta was over :rofl:

Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks,

Yep, same issue here.

[Unimatrix Xero]

Yep, same issue here.

just tired a send and recive and it worked fine... received a waiting email no problems

And is Frontpage (ahem, Sharepoint Designer) in this release? As far as I know it wasn't in Beta 1

Sharepoint was in the first beta release and it is in this refresh too. It might not be included in the smaller BT download. There is a 1+ GB download I was getting before the site crashed called MS Office Select (I think). It had all the regular apps but also included Sharepoint, Project, Visio, and a couple others.

[AltecXP]

I'm actualy liking the new interface, its looks like ite very efficent

Have you changed yor configuration? Could you share how you pop is configured?

[The Illusive Man]

New UI looks very nice and it's very functional. I like the black theme a bit more.

Everything works much better than the first beta... except from Access, in a table when I change to Design View it stops responding and freezes, I have tried with Access 2007 and Access 2000 databases and still the same issue, anyone else gets this problem? :unsure:

xcept from Access, in a table when I change to Design View it stops responding and freezes, I have tried with Access 2007 and Access 2000 databases and still the same issue, anyone else gets this problem? :unsure:

It's working fine for me...
