Cool Tip of the Day 60: Make Phone Calls

You can use Microsoft® Office Communicator 2007 R2 to make one-click phone calls to contacts in your Contact List. You can also call optional numbers by clicking the options arrow to the right of the Call button.

Make a one-click phone call

In the Contact List, click the contact’s Call button.

Call an alternate phone number

In the Contact List, click the arrow to the right of the Call button, and then click the number you want to call.

Enter a phone number to call

Type the number in the Search box, and then click the Call button next to the number as it appears in the Search Results box. You can enter an internal phone extension, an external number, an alphanumeric number such as 425-555-TAXI, or a contact’s name.

Invite someone to a call

In the Conversation window, click the Invite button, and then select a contact, enter a name, or enter a number to call.

I don't know what others are thinking, but these TIPs seems to be your only material to publish? Latest article which is not TIP is (over two months ago):
> Monday, May 18, 2009 11:00 AM
> Demystifying Device Setup – My Top 10 Troubleshooting Tips and
> Tricks

And the latest without any tips is:
> Monday, May 04, 2009 10:25 AM
> Deskphone-OC Integration

Shoot me or not, but most of these TIPs are quite basic user stuff? I like to see that you made new category for these TIPs and not overwrite the front page with these. And then start focusing to technical stuff, and having time to answer comments from the other users. Personally it is quite pooring to follow your front page in this mode.

But maybe I'm the only one with these thoughs :D
