Microsoft Word 2007 was released in January 2007. Its aim is to allow users to create documents quickly and easily, however, many first time users find it hard to switch from an older version of Word to the 2007 edition.
Some of the features in Microsoft Word 2007 include:
Office Button: By clicking on the Office button in the top left corner of the screen users can access the following commands: New, Print, Save As, and Open just to name a few. This is similar to the File menu located in previous versions of Microsoft Word.
Mini Toolbars: If words are highlighted in your document MS Word displays a small box with commonly used commands such as Bold and Underline features to allow the user to modify their document quickly.
Quick Access Toolbar: This toolbar contains commands that are used over and over again by users. Users are capable of customizing this toolbar and placing their own commands on it. These commands can also be removed by right clicking on the command button and selecting “Remove from Quick Access Toolbar.”
SmartArt: A new feature offered in Word 2007 is known as SmartArt. This is a group of easily formatted and editable diagrams. This can be used to create organizational charts. When SmartArt is inserted a text pane appears to guide the user on entering text.
Word 2007 is designed to open documents created in any version of MS Word through the 2003 version. Word will also open older documents in Compatibility Mode and will display the words '[Compatibility Mode]' in the document title, after the name of the file.
Unlike earlier versions of MS Word, Word 2007 can now search for the incorrect usage of correctly spelled words.
Users who have an earlier version of MS Word at home should remember to save their documents as a Word 97-2003 to allow the document to be opened on their personal computer at a later time.
If you are attempting to create a Word Template create it as you normally would in another version of MS Word. When it is time to save your template click on the Office Button>Save As>Word Template.
