Quick newsy post to see you into the weekend. Skype is unleashing three free new toolbars for MS Office, Outlook Express and Thunderbird - and, just so they don’t feel left out, the Firefox and IE toolbars have been upgraded.

Best feature of these new toolbars is that they’ll recognise a phone number contained within an Office document, email or web page, allowing you to call that number with one click.

Have a look at Skype’s Download pages for all the details.
