Hi Jonathon,

Thanks for starting this. No comments at this stage other than I am very happy with the ability to hide the ribbon between sessions that was added by the B2TR.

Also, someone had to be the first to post a comment so it might as well be me.

Regards,
Doug Robbins

Hi Jonathan

Is there anyway, you can show us a demo on best usage of the new features that was added in Word 2007?

Can/Will those files be shared as templates?

Hi
Johnathan, like the 21st document stuff. We have a large number of documents that use the "field" functions and the "Mergefield" command and want to move these to using the "Content Control" which will allow us the leverage to have nicer looking documents like this document as the content control allows formated data. The reason we use this system, especially the "if" statement as this allows the document to very dynamic and can be based upon "ask" questions or "mergefield" information as an example. The functions are found on the Ribbon Insert, Quick Parts, Field.

“Is there anyway, you can show us a demo on best usage of the new features that was added in Word 2007?”

Jonathan Bailor: Hey prabhupr – What do you mean by “best usage”? I hope our existing and upcoming posts will provide examples of great ways to use the features new to Word 2007, but I don’t know if we’ll ever be able to say our examples are the best examples :)

Jonathan Bailor: Hey PeterT – There’s definitely some cool opportunities around leveraging content controls and field codes together. What do mean by content controls allowing for “formatted data”? Are you referring to the fact that you can format the data contained within rich text content controls? I ask because you can also apply formatting to merge fields and have that formatting applied to the data which populates that field when merged with an external data source. For an example of this, check out the ‘merge templates’ included with the Beta 2 Technical Refresh version the Word 2007 (create new document based on any of the installed templates with the word ‘merge’ in the title). These templates are quite nice looking and the nice look is applied to the merge fields as well as regular text and text within the content controls.
