Now because I&#8217;m just testing I want to delete all these. I start looking for the &#8216;manage your subscriptions&#8217; button \/ option. None exist.  I try the multi-select using CTRL-CLICK. No luck. So I have to hand delete 251 feeds. But wait, it gets better.  Some of the feeds I apparently don&#8217;t have permission to delete (<a href=\"\/images\/misc\/outlook_permissions_error.png\">view image<\/a>) even though I created the subscription! I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s a bug (since the documentation says you can use CTRL-CLICK to delete), but it sure would be nice to be able to have a full view \/ window that gives you the ability to manage all your feeds in one place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I installed the 60 day preview of Office 2007 a couple days ago to try out some of the blogging \/ RSS features it included.
