Wow, that's bad news, I really wanted to try the 64 bit version but I'm not willing to uninstall my office 2007.

That would depend on which beta version you are testing out. If you decide to test the 64 bit version you will need to remove all previous 32 bit versions. If you plan on using the 32 bit version then you should be fine.

Anyone know if Outlook (2010) will sync with smartphones? I have an HTC Pro 2 with Windows Mobile 6.1 and it syncs wirelessly well with Outlook 2007.

Also has anyone had any type of sync issues, especially with Windows Mobile Device Center?

I'd hate to replace my 2007 Office suite with 2010 only to run into sync problems. Yeah I know it's a beta program but...

Thanks

I would hope so, that would have killed Microsoft had it not been the case :o

Imagie all the millions of office documents floating around suddenly not working with Microsoft's newest office suite... brutal.

I am having an issue with Outlook not recognizing a default mail program. Because of this I am not able to sync my iPhone and Outlook. Has anyone seen this issue or have any ideas how to trouble shoot?

Also does anyone know if the Acrobat plug-in will work with Office 2010 and how to get it to work?

I asked about sync issues here - http://www.sevenforums.com/news/39915-announcing-office-2010-beta-availability-3.html#post389811, haven't gotten a reply yet.

What exactly is your issue? What sync program are you using?
