Today I was looking around for some MSCRM info. I came across a great document on the Microsoft Website, Using Microsoft Dynamics CRM 3.0 Small Business Edition. It is a PDF file but on their Website it has a little Word icon next to it and is described as a 'Microsoft Word file'.

This got me wondering if they were now describing it as this because Word 2007 can work with PDF files ?

I have the PDF add-in for Office 2007 so I right clicked on the file (after downloading it to my desktop) and chose 'Open With'  ..  'Microsoft Word 2007'.

I was then presented with a ' File Conversion' dialog. I left the settings as default and cracked on (clicked OK).

This opened Word and munged in a load of initial PDF data from the file.

About 8 minutes later after a lot of repagination. It tells me that I have exceeded the maximum number of pages supported by Word.

and from the Word status bar I can see the limit is 32,767 

Note to self: Read PDF's in Foxit Reader, not Word.

This is pretty cool. Microsoft (in the UK) are creating downloadable dictionaries for Office that contain words from local dialects.
It is only a matter of time before I can type:

It wisnae me that smashed the windae wi the fitba!     (TRANS: it was not I that smashed the window with the soccer ball)

Without the little red squiggles underneath.
