TO ASK A QUESTION: If you have a question or need help with Office, please feel free to use the 'Click to Contact' link at the bottom of this page. You'll get a form that you can use to email a question to me. (I had been getting a ton of spam when accepting direct emails, so only emails that use this form will get through to me.)
Please be sure to mention the version of Office you are using when you send your question.
I answer all e-mails that I receive via this form, as long as they are polite :)
Since disabling comments on this site, I'm actually hearing from more of you with questions ... so, as it seems people prefer to email rather than comment, I'm going to leave comments disabled. As always, you can ask me any Office-related questions you have. If the question is outside of my expertise, I'll try to direct you to where you can get an answer.
Office 2007 Webcast tomorrow ... and a new article about a cool new add-in
Hi, everyone! Please join me tomorrow (Tuesday the 18th) for a 1 hour live webcast showing off some of my favorite features in the 2007 Office system. I'm looking forward to this session ... It's going to be a lot of fun -- this new version of Office has some very cool new tools...
Be One of the First to See Tips & Tricks for the 2007 Microsoft Office release
Tuesday, July 18th, beginning at 9am Pacific, 12p Eastern
Also ... if you're using the beta and haven't yet seen the very nifty Office Tools program for Outlook called the Calendar Printing Assistant ... it's a long overdue idea that's very well executed. I have a new article walking you through how to use this new tool and providing a link to the free download on the Office Beta Community site. Find this article and others that might be of interest here: Office Beta Community Articles
Meanwhile ... if you're in NY like me, stay indoors .... it's gettin' toasty out! :) And wherever you are, Happy Monday!

I've been on vacation the past week and I'm now watching your webcast. I've always had a question about Themes. Each is represented by a series of color filled boxes. What part of the document or formatting does each box represent?

Hi, Bob,
If you click Colors in the Theme group on the Page Layout tab and then click 'Create New Theme Colors' you can see how the colors are assigned.
You posted this comment to the link with the webcast registration page - but there is a more recent post that was the follow-up to that session. Check out the link there to the Office Beta Community Articles. MVP Beth Melton wrote a very good introduction to Themes. Also - keep an eye on that site as I have an article posting there soon that will introduce you to customizing Themes and other formatting elements (like Quick Styles and Building Blocks).
Hope that helps!
Stephanie
