Should you install Office 2010 32- or 64-bit?

I've mentioned this before (and I'm sure I will mention it at least once more once Office 2010 hits the retail shelves) - avoid the 64-bit version unless you have confirmed the add-ins and utilities you want to use will work with it. There is no benefit to using the 64-bit version for typical users - Office is not going to run faster or better. Only those who work with huge (2GB) record sets and spreadsheets need the 64-bit version. The 32-bit version works fine on 64-bit Windows (do not use compatibility mode).

Outlook Quick Tip: Using and reusing a message

A user asked: Is there a way to set up Outlook to populate the subject line with the text, i.e. I want to start each subject with "Issue #"?

Sure. You can create a draft, then copy it and open the copy. (Select it in the Drafts folder then Ctrl C, V to make a copy) Or you can create an Outlook template (oft) containing the text and use it for new messages.
