word problem

A MS Office 2010 user encountered this problem with MS Word 2010:  Whenever using spell check function, MS Word will simply hang and becomes unresponsive. To end it, you have to kill the process from the task manager. It happens to any word document.

Check for the following:

- Launch winword /safe from run or from cmd and check.
- Check for any addins or plugins and disable it and check.

This should resolve the problem.

Print to the Microsoft XPS Document Writer

Applies to Windows 7

The XPS Document Writer allows you to create .xps files using any program that you can print from in Windows. Print to the XPS Document Writer when you want to create, send, and share or publish documents that you do not want other people to modify, or when you want to print a document or display it online exactly as it appears on your screen. It's also a good idea to create an XPS document for files that contain graphics or illustrations that might otherwise display differently in print than online or on computers with different monitors.

XPS documents are easy to share because you can view them on any computer where an XPS viewer is installed, even if the computer doesn't have the same programs that you used to create the original documents. For more information about XPS documents, see XPS documents: frequently asked questions or go to the Microsoft XML Paper Specification website.

To print to the XPS Document Writer

1. Open the document or file that you want to print to .xps format, and then click Print. In most programs, the print option is available from the File menu.
2. In the Print dialog box, select Microsoft XPS Document Writer.
3. To view the document using the XPS Viewer after you print it, click Preferences, click the XPS Documents tab, make sure that the Automatically open XPS documents using the XPS viewer check box is selected, and then click OK.
4. Click Print to print the document or file.
5. When prompted, enter a file name and browse to the location where you want to save the .xps file. Click Save. Windows will save .xps files in your Documents folder by default.

After printing to the .xps file format, you can view an XPS document by browsing to it and opening it. You can print a paper copy, share the XPS document, or send it to a commercial printer or to other people in any way that you prefer.

Tip

• To help prevent security problems, you can attach a digital signature to an XPS document before you send or share it. The digital signature identifies the creator of the XPS document and helps warn anyone who views it if the document was modified after it was digitally signed. You can also determine who can view the document and for how long by applying permissions before sharing the document.

Office 365 enters public beta

Office 365 enters public beta

By Peter Bright | Last updated about 18 hours ago

 

Office 365, the rebranded, expanded successor to Microsoft's Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS), today entered public beta. On top of the cloud-served Exchange Server, SharePoint Server, and Lync Server (formerly Office Communications Online) found in BPOS, Office 365 adds licensing for Office itself, both through Office Web Apps and the full desktop Office 2010 suite.

The service will eventually offer a range of pricing options, each with different levels of functionality; for the beta, services equivalent to two of the pricing tiers, one aimed at professionals and small businesses, the other aimed at enterprises, will be on offer. The small business offering is equivalent to the lowest pricing tier, "Plan P1," which will start at $6 per user per month. This offers e-mail and calendaring, SharePoint collaboration, Lync messaging, and access to the Office Web Apps—notably excluding access to desktop Office 2010.

The enterprise offering is equivalent to what will be the "Plan E3" pricing tier, at $24 per user per month. On top of the features of P1, this includes local licensing rights for the various server applications, Active Directory integration, unlimited e-mail storage, voicemail hosting, 24/7 phone support, and the full Office 2010 Professional Plus suite.

The full range of Office 365 pricing hasn't been announced yet; though enterprise-oriented plans will range from $10 to $27 per user per month, only the bottom P1 plan for small businesses is public at this time. In addition to these price tiers, there will be schemes for kiosk workers—those who do not have their own dedicated computers—starting at $4 per month per user for "Plan K1," which gives access Exchange and SharePoint, and an as-yet unpriced "Plan K2," which adds the Office Web Apps to the K1 scheme. There will also be a plan or plans for educational institutions, though pricing for this has not been announced.

The beta is currently available in 38 countries and 17 languages. Though the beta is open, and all applicants will be accepted, the registration site notes that applicants will have to wait an average of two to four weeks before their account is actually created.
