Microsoft Word 2007 Review
Overview
Microsoft Word 2007 is a significant upgrade from Office 2003, offering a more user-friendly interface with distinct sections such as Insert, Page Layout, References, Mailing, Review, and View. This redesign makes it easier for users to access the tools they need without navigating through a single toolbox as in Office 2003.
Key Features and Enhancements
Improved Interface
The updated interface provides easily accessible sections for various tasks:
- Insert: Quickly insert tables, pictures, clipart, shapes, SmartArt, charts, hyperlinks, bookmarks, headers, footers, page numbers, WordArt, and more. Everything is neatly organized for easy use.
- Page Layout: Manage page layouts with settings for margins, spacing, picture positioning, and more. This section also includes new options for page background settings and themes.
- References: Ideal for creating reports, this tab offers tools for tables of content, footnotes, citations, bibliographies, captions, indexes, and tables of authorities. Key features include:
- One-click table of contents with options for multiple layers.
- Easy updates for existing tables.
- Simplified footnote insertion with auto-numbering.
- One-click bibliography creation.
- Inserting figure captions with numbering.
- Efficient index creation by marking words.
- Mailing: Tools for both email and postal mail, featuring distinct tabs for envelopes and labels, direct emailing via Outlook or Thunderbird, and options for email merging and previewing results.
- Review: Assist with document review through spell-check, translation, word count, and comments. You can also protect your documents with various security options.
- View: Preview documents in different formats such as web layout, draft, print layout, and full-screen reading. Zoom options are available for better accessibility.
File Saving
Word 2007 saves files in the .docx format, which is more space-efficient than the .doc format. To ensure compatibility with older versions like Office 2003, set your default saving option to Word Document 97-2003.
Additional Tools
For exporting files to PDF or XPS, install the "Publish as PDF or XPS" add-in from Microsoft. This tool enables file export to these formats, following instructions provided on the Microsoft website.
