eWEEK Labs Walk-Through: Collaboration Drives Office 2007

Groove 2007 will support InfoPath forms, allowing workgroups to repurpose existing InfoPath forms for their applications.

Groove users also will be able to share documents in a SharePoint site, providing a way to bring a limited set of SharePoint content offline.

Sharing OneNote notebooks proved easy–we just needed to place it in a local share, network share or SharePoint server.

Outlook’s To-Do Bar provides a summary of events and tasks; the mail client includes an RSS reader.

Contact records now support a graphic business card, which can be forwarded in a vCard attachment.

Calendar overlay makes it easy to compare user calendars, particularly since they are easier to forward in e-mail.

Users can automatically attach to an Exchange server–it just requires entering the user’s full name.

Outlook automatically configures information about the user, such as user name, server name and e-mail address.
