Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Having spent a collective lifetime inside the gray partitions of the corporate world, we know it's a rare event to see the words "art" and "office" rubbing elbows. Yet, an unlikely source, Microsoft, has unleashed a web site that may entirely change our perspective on office computing.

Art of Office is, on the surface, a Web marketing site for the company's Macintosh software division. But digging past the bold colors of Microsoft's office logos (bold blue for Word, charming orange for Powerpoint, and Excel's bountiful green) lurks a community of cubicle workers—and a host of creative types—who look beyond dialog boxes and drop-down menus to conjure office assets like we've never seen. In the end, we've learned that a Pac-Man chart can make or break a pitch and the secret to a successful meeting is to embed your agenda in a word search puzzle. For our next project, we plan to follow one man's example and spend company time cataloging the 5,000 things we love in life.
