Office.com’s 2011 Calendar Contest…and the Winners are!

Encouraged by my friend Erwin, we (Erwin and I) joined the 2011 Calendar Contest from Office.com.  At first I really don’t know how to start since I can’t pick a nice theme for my calendar template until an idea crossed my mind.  What if I’ll make Star Teak inspired  2011 calendar would it make a difference?

The rule of the contest was simple.  Make a 2011 calendar using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 in either Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Publisher.  Upload to the the site. At the end of the contest the template with most downloads will in the Office.com.  There will be four winners 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and an Honorable Mention.

Here’s the Star Trek inspired calendar template that I submitted featuring model ships and their general specifications.

I was surprised when Erwin told me that I am one of the lucky winner in the said contest.  I got the honorable mention!  Were both very happy that one of us won the contest!

Everything comes to an End…10 Days to Go!

This is all for the Beta testers of Microsoft Office 2010.  The Beta release of the newest productivity suite from Microsoft is about to expire and cease it’s usability.  I just received an email (probably all those beta testers who registered received it too) telling that I have ten days left before the beta software will expire.

Everything really comes to an end.  So to all those who enjoyed the free ride of the Beta release of Office 2010, it’s time to move on.  If like me, you enjoyed the new features and capabilities of this productivity suite, it’s time for you to buy the full version of the product to continue using it.  I know the main concern of some of us here will be the price of the product, it’s a bit costly but I think considering the benefit  you’ll get when you buy the full version, the price is reasonable enough.  If you’re not yet ready to buy because of your tight budget you can always downgrade to the previous versions of Microsoft Office (2003 and 2007) and upgrade later when the time is right for you.   The choice is always yours! 

Not decided yet? Why not try the final version of Office 2010!  You may visit the page here and download a trial version of the product.  Off course the trial version won’t last but it will give you a preview of what you are missing and might convince you to upgrade.
