3. For each name, determine Required or Optional status by clicking the small red arrow next to each name.
4. Indicate the conference room as a resource (and it will be automatically added as the meeting location).
Also be sure to include the meeting agenda in the invitation, rather than in a separate e-mail message.

Pre-define the Format for Pasting in Word 2007
In a Microsoft Office Word 2003 document, each time you paste some text or an image, you can select the format (source formatting, destination formatting, or text only) by clicking the clipboard icon. In Microsoft Office Word 2007 and Microsoft Office Outlook 2007, you can still do this manually or, more conveniently, set the default paste formatting mode. Here’s how:
Go to Advanced Options or click the Set Default Paste option when the clipboard icon appears, and then set your preferences. The pasted text and images will now be formatted automatically according to your settings.

You can organize your daily activities by using the new To-Do Bar in Microsoft Office Outlook. The To-Do Bar, located on the right side of your Outlook Inbox, brings together tasks, calendar information, and e-mail messages flagged for follow-up into one view. Now you don’t need to switch back and forth between your Inbox, diary, and task list.

2003 to 2007 Document Information Panel
When you pause your mouse on your document in Windows Explorer, does it list the author as someone you worked with five years ago? If you started with an existing document, the document property information is probably out of date. With Microsoft Office 2003 documents, most people don't take the time to right-click the file in Windows Explorer, click Properties, and then edit the document information. With the Document Information Panel in Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 and Office Professional Plus 2007, you can edit document properties directly in the program.
1. Click the Office button, and then click Prepare.
2. Click Properties. The Document Information Panel appears below the Ribbon.
3. Enter the appropriate information and save the document.
Keep in mind, search engines like the ones included in Windows Vista and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 use document properties to deliver search results that are more relevant. So if you want to make something easier to find, make sure your document properties are up to date.

World Air Traffic one minute video

This is a fascinating one-minute video...
It is a 24-hour observation of all of the large aircraft flights in the world (recorded by the airplane flight transponders via Geo-stationary orbital satellites) patched together and condensed to about a minute, i.e., you watch 24 hours of flights compressed into one minute.
You can see it is summer in the north by the location of sunlight on the planet.
With this 24-hour observation of aircraft travel on the earth's surface, we also get to see the daylight pattern move across the planet.
Notice the reduction of activity in each region during the darkness of late night/early morning.

Girl: When we get married, I want to share all your worries, troubles and lighten your burden.

Boy: It's very kind of you, darling, But I don't have any worries or troubles.

Girl: Well that is because we aren't married yet.

"Honey," the woman replied sweetly, "I'd have married you NO MATTER WHO LEFT YOU A FORTUNE"

Family problem

Two men met at a bar and struck up a conversation. After a while one of them said, 'You think you have family problems? Listen to my situation. A few years ago I met a young widow with a grown-up daughter and we got married.

Later, my father married my stepdaughter. That made my stepdaughter my stepmother and my father became my stepson.

Also my wife became mother in-law of her father-in-law- Then the daughter of my wife, my stepmother had a son. This boy was my half brother because he was my father's son, but he was also the son of my wife's daughter, which made him my wife's grandson.

That made me the grandfather of my half brother. This was nothing until my wife and I had a son. Now the sister of my son, my mother-in-law, is also the grandmother.

This makes my father the brother-in law of my child, whose stepsister is my father's wife.

I am my stepmother's brother-in-law, my wife is her own child's aunt, my son is my father's nephew and I am my own grandfather and you think you have family problems!'

Stuff To Ponder

If "Con" is the Opposite of "Pro"....then what is the opposite of PROGRESS?

Why is LEMON JUICE mostly artificial ingredients....
but DISH WASHING LIQUID contains real lemons?

Isn't it a bit unnerving that doctors call what they do "practice"?

Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food?

Why do they report power outages on TV?

s/w Eng must b up-to-date

Once upon a time, there was a software engineer who
used to develop programs on his Pentium machine,
sitting under a tree on the banks of a river. He used
to earn his bread by selling those programs in the
Sunday market.
One day, while he was working, his machine tumbled off
the table and fell in the river. Encouraged by the
story of his childhood (the woodcutter and the axe),
he started praying to the River goddess.
The River goddess wanted to test him and so appeared
only after one month of rigorous prayers. The engineer
told her that he had lost his computer in the river.
As usual, the goddess wanted to test his honesty. She
showed him a match box and asked, "Is this your
computer ?" Disappointed by the Goddess' lack of
computer awareness, the engineer replied, "No."
She next showed him a pocket-sized calculator and
asked if that was his. Annoyed, the engineer said "No,
not at all!!"
Finally, she came up with his own Pentium machine and
asked if it was his. The engineer, left with no
option, sighed and said "Yes."
The River Goddess was happy with his honesty. She was
about to give him all three items, but before she
could make the offer, the engineer asked her, "Don't
you know that you're supposed to show me some better
computers before bringing up my own ?"
The River goddess, angered at this, replied, "I know
that, you stupid donkey! The first two things I showed
you were the Trillennium and the Billennium, the
latest computers from IBM!". So saying, she
disappeared with the Pentium!!
Moral: If you're not up-to-date with technology
trends, it's better keep your mouth shut and let
people think you're a fool than to open your mouth and
remove all doubt.

Story of a Perfect couple…

Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Their life together was,of course, perfect.

One snowy, stormy Christmas Eve, this perfect couple was driving their perfect car along a winding road, when they noticed someone at the side of the road in distress. Being the perfect couple, they stopped to help.
There stood Santa Claus with a huge bundle of toys. Not wanting to disappoint any children on Santa and his toys into their vehicle. Soon they were driving along delivering the toys.
Unfortunately, the driving conditions deteriorated and the perfect couple and Santa Claus had an accident. Only one of them survived the accident.

Question: Who was the survivor?

 

 

 

 

Scroll down for the answer.....

 

 

 

 

Answer:

The perfect woman survived. She's the only one who really existed in the first place. Everyone knows there is no Santa Claus and there is no such thing as a perfect man.

**** Women stop reading here, this is the end of the joke.

**** Men keep scrolling.

So, if there is no perfect man and no Santa Claus, the woman must have been driving. This explains why there was a car accident.

Men Keep scrolling

By the way, if you're a woman and you're still reading, this illustrates another point:

Women never listen.

Who Is More Stupid ?

Two rich men were talking of their drivers when one of them said, "Hey, I tell you my driver is really stupid. Let me show you that." And he called for Banta, his driver. "Banta, here is a 10 dollar bill, go to the car showroom and buy me a Mercedes," he ordered.

>"Yes Sir! Right away," Banta replied and rushed off to the showroom.

>"See, I told you," said the rich man.

>To this, the other man said, "That's nothing, I will show you how

>stupid my driver is." And he called his driver, Santa Singh. "Santa, go home now and check to see if I'm at home," he ordered. "Yes Sir! Right away," and ran home.

>"See, didn't I tell you," said the man, "He doesn't even have the

>brains to know that I cannot be at home if I am here."

>Santa and Banta bump into each other on the road. "Eh, you know my boss is so stupid. He gave me 10 dollars and asked me to go to the car showroom and buy him a Mercedes.... Doesn't he know that today is Sunday?

>The showroom is closed," said Santa. "Well, this is nothing, my boss is even worse. He asked me to go home to check if he is at home....He's got a cell phone, right, can't he just call home and check for himself!" replied Banta.
