Tips and Tricks
- Every time I install Microsoft Office, it insists on putting all the Office applications in the Dock. I have quite enough applications there already, thank you. There's only one Office application I do want there: the Project Gallery Launcher (/Applications/Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Project Gallery Launcher).
- The Project Gallery Launcher streamlines two daily tasks: First, I often use template--my electronic letterhead, fax cover sheet, or a blank document-- to start new documents. The Launcher makes the process of picking a template and starting a new document simple. Second, I can easily look up recent Office documents from the Launcher, which has a preview pane that lets me view those documents by date (Today, Yesterday, This Week, Last Week, and so on). Best of all, it's really quick.
- For years I ignored the Launcher, but now that it's living in my dock, I use it much more often. And since picking a template requires opening the Launcher anyway, why not keep it close at hand?
