My favorite feature is the screen capture tool. It does not allow me to use any other tool to capture the screenshot or to press PrtSc and edit it using MSPaint.
I love it
Thanks for this giveaway. I am using the beta version of MS Office for long. I like a number of features mainly paste preview, Backstage view, new image editor and ribbon interface.
i want to add 1 addition tool as " add or merge " two ppt's or word documents together..
My most favorite feature in office 2010 is its appearance only and its UI.
it is designed with beautiful colours and also the powerpoint is having lot more features than the ppt 2007.
i love office 2010.

I've been using Office 2010 Beta for a couple of months and haven't found any problems. The programs launch really fast - the biggest improvement I've seen over 2007 or any previous version. I feel like I save lots of time when Word docs open fast and save fast...not sure if it adds up to much time but it is a noticeable difference!
All the best for ur launch....
hello
i love Ms office because it helps me 100% in my business and personal usage right from word, excel, to ppt , outlook, etc.. its a complete package and nothing can better than this.. cheers..
Hi there,
The feature that impresses me most is that one can now seamlessly collaborate on a project with one's coworkers using webapps over SkyDrive or Facebook.Besides,the "paste preview tool",which lets one assess how a copied content would look like while keeping the source formatting intact or stripped or merged without actually pasting it!!,is also very enticing.The more widespread usage of the ribbon interface now across all components of the office is also a welcome move.So keeping in mind the things I have said above,do count me in the giveaway please.Thanking You... Dhiraj
P.S I have subscribed to the email feeds and following you on twitter.My twitter handle is d4dhiraj.Additionally I have tweeted this post at: http://twitter.com/d4dhiraj/status/14745349934
Hi!
A unique feature of its type should be added to MS-Word.
That is an image editor should be added to word so that any one could make image more pleasant in his document.
Thanks for the promo!
