Open Recent Office 2008 Docs by Date
Office 2008 applications like Word and Excel now list recently opened documents on a File > Open Recent submenu. Choose More from that menu, and you'll get a multifunction Project Gallery dialog. Click the Recent button at the top and then select a date range in the Dates list to find files that were last opened today, yesterday, earlier in the week, last week, and so forth. (The Settings pane in the Project Gallery dialog lets you set how many recently opened files show in the File > Open Recent submenu.)

| Microsoft Releases New PowerPoint Converter
Microsoft today released a new converter for transferring presentations between PowerPoint 4.0 for Macintosh and PowerPoint 8.0 for Windows 95 (also known as PowerPoint 97). The converter will also work between PowerPoint 4.0 for the Mac and PowerPoint 98 for the Mac (PowerPoint 98 should ship in early 1998). Previously, for Windows and Macintosh users of these versions to share files, the Windows user had to do the conversion; now, Macintosh users can also handle conversion responsibilities. The download page gives access to both 68K and PowerPC versions; both downloads are about 800K. The ReadMe file suggests that for large files you increase PowerPoint's RAM allocation to 8 MB, and it also instructs you to drop Windows files on the SetFile Tool icon before attempting to open them in PowerPoint.
