2010. CHICAGO, July 24 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- What: MicroSpa at
BlogHer Conference Today from the BlogHer Conference in Chicago,
Microsoft Corp. is providing women bloggers with a glimpse into
life with Microsoft Office 2010. Imagine it -- tech-savvy women
will be able to access their blogs, projects and homework the way
they want to. They will access and share documents from virtually
anywhere -- the soccer field, the grocery store or the local coffee
shop -- through the phone, browser or PC.* They will bring new
ideas to life via new features such as multimedia editing in
Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, co-authoring in Microsoft Word 2010 and
Sparklines in Microsoft Excel 2010. "Microsoft Office helps
bloggers achieve their small-business dreams, accomplish career
ambitions, connect with customers, share with other bloggers and
keep their families organized," said Louise Rasho, senior marketing
communications manager for Microsoft Office Live. "With Office
2010, bloggers have everything they need to manage career, school
and family at their fingertips with a laptop, phone or browser."
Conferences can wear out even the heartiest Type-A personalities.
So, Microsoft Office is hosting the MicroSpa at the BlogHer
Conference in the Missouri Room at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers.
On Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, conference attendees can
register to relax and refresh with one of three spa treatments: a
back massage, hand reflexology or makeup artistry. Outfitted with
comfortable spaces to unwind, blog, tweet or indulge in a feast of
fruit, hors d'oeuvres, pastries and sparkling wine, the MicroSpa
provides an oasis for women to treat themselves and connect with
other bloggers in person or online. Tech support will be on hand,
should laptops or devices start to sputter or spark. Office
aficionados can follow Microsoft Office at BlogHer on Twitter:
