Help me understand PowerPoint 2010 disabled options

The disabled options have me confused?

  1. Change the source file (from the original .avi you selected)
  2. Change the starting point (say start at 30 seconds)

I can see that those toolbar options are disabled (below) but I cannot see the reason.

Canvas and SVG – when will IE support it?

Clearly it is missing from Google’s presentation

Anybody think this is hurting IE’s market share?

Anybody consider this is solved, since we now have:

SVG Web’ is a JavaScript library at http://code.google.com/p/svgweb

Or

‘Google Chrome Frame’, an open source plug-in that brings Google Chrome’s JavaScript engine to Internet Explorer
At https://developers.google.com/chrome/chrome-frame/

Excel to support Import Data from Web Services

In Excel 2007 and 2010, it supports importing data from various data sources, e.g. SQL Server, Analysis Services, etc. But it does not support importing data from “Web Services”. Importing data from Web Services functionality is great to have, so it will save user time to write VSTO code or VBA code to call web services.

Access to support Import Data from Web Services

Sometime, users may want to get data from Web Services provided by other party. It is a bit cumbersome to do at the moment, since Access 2007 and 2010 does not support importing data from Web Services. Users may need to write VSTO code and VBA code to call the web services. It will be very helpful if Access supports importing data from Web Services.

Cater for Subscribed Newsletters (aka SPAM Level 2)

We all know what SPAM is… and Outlook seems to catch most of that fine.

But there is a 2nd level of SPAM, and that is newsletters you subscribe to, but rarely get to read… but you will ‘one day’

I would love another mailbox called ‘Junk Newsletters’ and it picked up my newsletters.
