I got my first look at Office 2007 today. I'm part of a corporate "Pilot Program" for rolling out new software releases. I interpret that as being a beta tester of sorts.
The install process went through just fine (thanks much to the infrastructure people that put it together) with only the minor annoyances of having to shut down Outlook 2003 during the install - actually having to shut it down AND unplug my iPaq since I keep it synchronized - and having to reboot after it was done.
After the restart, I started up Outlook and it came up and ran. Good enough. No problems.
I opened up a Word document and made a note for myself. Well, it looked a little unfamiliar but no problems, and I wasn't doing anything fancy. Still good. No problems.
I put my iPaq in its dock, and ran into the first issue. ActiveSync complained about a missing converter component "RICHINK.DLL", and also indicated that it needed attention in trying to synchronize the Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks. But how? Other than advising me to disconnect and reconnect my device, no other advice was given.
After a quick discussion with one of the desktop technicians, I downloaded and installed the latest and greatest version of ActiveSync. That handled all of the issues very nicely, and I've gotten back to a working desktop/pda combination.
