Microsoft Office and Usability

Jensen Harris is a Lead Program Manager on the Microsoft Office "user experience" team. It's been a pleasure to read his blog and the effort the team has been putting into the new version of Office. He talks about many of the usability issues and new features that will be in Office 12 but also uncovers things that are already within the application.

With going solo, I've been using Outlook much more than I ever thought I would. Jensen's latest post uncovers a great tip for viewing the calendar for two different time zones. Very handy if you have a client across the country or around the world. This just might help me avoid making conference calls while I should be having dinner.
