Introduction

Are you nervous? Intimidated? Befuddled and confused beyond all
recourse? What did they do to Word? Just when you thought you finally
had a leg up on the program, just as you finally remembered that the Sort
command is on the Tables menu, they’ve gone and changed . . . everything!
What a headache!
Welcome to Word 2007 For Dummies, which is a better solution to your word
processing pains than taking two aspirin and calling tech support in the
morning. This book is your friendly, informative, and entertaining guide to
the newfangled way of processing words that is Word 2007.
I’m not telling you that this book will make you all cozy and pleased with the
new ways of Word. No, I’m merely promising that this book eases the pain
everyone feels with Word 2007. Let other authors apologize for the program!
I’m here to kick Word in the butt and, hopefully, you’ll enjoy watching that.
What’s New in Word 2007?
Earlier versions of Word all looked alike. They had menus, toolbars, task
panes, and other pop-up, drop-down, leak-out nonsense. With Word 2007, all
that stuff is gone, nailed shut in a box and wheeled away into that huge warehouse
where the U.S. government keeps the Ark of the Covenant. Word 2007
sports no menus. It has only one tiny toolbar.
Replacing the menus and toolbars is a tabbed Ribbon system. The tabs are
like the menus of old, but their commands are grouped into graphical command
buttons. Some buttons are commands, some buttons are menus. This
setup can be overwhelming at first, but I must admit that it makes it possible
to do some tasks in fewer steps than with the old Word interface. Knowing
that, of course, doesn’t make the thing less intimidating.
Beyond the interface, Word is a bit stricter on styles and formatting. The benefit
here is instant previews, or the ability to instantly see how changes affect
your document
