Office 2007 build 3111

 Microsoft Office 2007 build 3111 is an Alpha 4 build of Microsoft Office 2007 compiled on 22 June 2005. It is one of the earliest available builds to feature the metal-styled UI, which is a placeholder style for the Ribbon UI. Office assistants are still included in this build, but they do not work since there is no option to enable them.

Setup and installation
As of now, Windows XP and early post-reset builds of Windows Vista (such as 5098 and 5112) have been tested to work; with Windows 2000 support already being removed from setup. You need to set the date to 2005, or else you cannot edit Word or Excel documents (PowerPoint weirdly works past the timebomb). While the interface is already close to resembling the RTM, two options are given: "Local" and "Advertise". It is not clear what "advertise" means yet. Some individual items include a third option of not installing the item. Additionally, many items are still blank; and reference developer components like .NET Programmability Support.

Changes from Office 2003

 * A new metal-styled UI has replaced the Office 2003 UI, which its toolbar seems to have the options of the Ribbon interface; however the shapes and tools menus come in a dropdown window instead of a separate menu in the toolbar.
 * Almost all strings referencing  have been replaced with , including on all of the startup screens (which are otherwise unchanged from 2003). However, a few strings reference  , the original release date and name for Office 2007.

Bugs and other quirks

 * Sometimes, an "insufficient disk space for displaying font" error pops up in Word.
 * PowerPoint works even past the timebomb. You can also insert symbols into Word documents despite the rest of the editing interface being inoperable.
