The first thing you’ll notice when you start using Office 2007 is the new and improved interface. There’s a lot of material in this book to get you up to speed on this. The interface is completely redesigned and contrary to what Microsoft implies, is going to take some time to master. There are no longer drop-down menus; instead, you select a tab at the top of the page, and the choices change underneath the tab depending on what you’ve selected. Some of the old standbys are hard to find though, like settings that were easily accessed in Office XP’s. | 10 Part I Getting Started New Interface The first thing you ll notice when you start using Office 2007 is the new and improved interface. There s a lot of material in this book to get you up to speed on this. The interface is completely redesigned and contrary to what Microsoft implies is going to take some time to master. There are no longer drop-down menus instead you select a tab at the top of the page and the choices change underneath the tab depending on what you ve selected.

There you could set everything from user information to formatting marks to spelling and grammar. You ll have to learn to navigate through the new interface to find those preferences now.

This is Word and Home is selected. Figure 1-3 This shows Word with Page Layout selected. Notice how the options are different than in the previous figure.

In Figure 1-2 you may recognize the familiar icons for Bold Italic and Underline icons to add bulleted lists and numbered lists and icons for managing other common tasks like changing a font or font size. But the changes to Word and other applications are more than just a reordering of tools and offering a new and more intuitive way to access them.
