Office Challenges

Conventional punditry:“Office is good enough”

“People only use the 10% of the features in Office”

“Everything I need was in Office [95, 97, 2000]”

What customers really tell us:“I’m sure there’s a way to do this, but I can’t figure out how.”

“Office is complex, I would be better at my job if I knew how to use it more.”

Why A New User Experience?

Menus and Toolbars were designed for less full-featured programs

The feature set of Office had grown andstretched existing UI mechanisms to the limit

It was harder to find functionality than it was a decade ago

“There must be a way to do this…”

“I don’t even know where to start looking…”

So we introduced the ribbon..

Some things we heard:Where is “Save As”?

When is Outlook getting the ribbon?

When is OneNote getting the ribbon?

The answer:OFFICE 2010!

Research for the new user interface for Office

Began to realize that there were two types of features in Office

Flashback: Summer 2003

“In” Features

• Used to change the contents of the document

• The results of the features show up on the printed page

• Bold, Paste, Center, Find, Insert Picture, Spelling, Rotate, AutoSum, Comments, Tables…

“Out” Features

• Used to do something with the whole document

• Not about changing the contents of the document

• Print, Send, Save, Publish, Share, Properties, Document Inspector, Mark as Final, Versions, Workflows…

“In” Features vs. “Out” Features

Almost all of the features were“In” features

WYSIWYG* + Menus/Toolbars optimized for discovery and usage of these features

Word 1 to Office 97 (1989-1999)

*WYSIWYG = “What You See Is What You Get”

Look at the Sheet of Paper

See Something You Want To

WYSIWYG works like this…

Many of the new features are “Out” featuresThe advent of the web

The advent of SharePoint

The advent of collaboration

The advent of unified communication

These features are not well-served by traditional WYSIWYG user interfaces

e.g. Menus, Toolbars, Ribbon

“Out” features work like this…

We envisioned two parts to the Office UIThe “InSpace” and the “OutSpace”

The “OutSpace”Shows you everything Office knows about your document

Shows you everything you can do with your document

Fundamentally about taking a step back from the details of your work to see the bigger picture

A new UI for “Out” features
