Revised Ribbon : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Revised Ribbon Arguably, the biggest change with Office 2007 was the introduction of the ribbon. This completely changed the way users interacted with the Microsoft applications and was implemented throughout Office.
With 2010, the ribbon is retained but there are some improvements, most notable is the ability to create your own custom ribbon tabs and populate them with whatever collections you desire.
Protected View : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Protected View Over the years, Word documents have been vulnerable to hackers and viruses introduced through the Word Binary in malicious code disguised as a document.
Microsoft now opens documents from untrusted sources (such as the internet) in a “sandboxed” version of Word, which is simply an isolated version of Word that presents the document in a read only mode without sacrificing any of the formatting.
Protected View : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Protected View A few notes on Protected view:
You can not print from this view

You can open ANY document in Protected View by right clicking and selecting “Open in Protected View”
Biggest benefit from Protected View?
You won’t see all those “Are you sure” dialog boxes!
Backstage : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Backstage With Office 2010 rather than the image used to access what used to be in the File menu, there is now Backstage, which brings back that file menu.
The difference between Backstage and the Ribbon is that the Ribbon is what you do in the file (editing, graphics, etc) while Backstage is what you do to the file (Save, Export, etc)
Backstage : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Backstage Users who found the lack of a File menu bothersome, will be relieved to see that it is back in Office 2010. As you can see all of the expected items are included.
Collaboration & Sharing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Collaboration & Sharing Another of the truly beneficial features introduced in Word 2010 are the greatly improved sharing capabilities.
Starting with Word 2010, as long as the document is stored in a shared location (SharePoint, local file server or Skydive) multiple users can now have the same file open at the SAME TIME! No more multiple copies or waiting for someone else to finish their edits before you can open the file!
Collaboration & Sharing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Collaboration & Sharing The document inspector (found in Backstage) allows you to clean up and set security options for your document before you share it. You can protect template, author information and even mark the document with a watermark to ensure documents do not get distributed prior to their intended release. This puts the control of your documents in your hands.
Collaboration & Sharing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Collaboration & Sharing There are many additional sharing tools accessible within backstage as shown above. While options such as Send Using Email have been accessible in previous versions, the integration with SharePoint, Blogs or PDF are useful improvements and save you valuable time.
Improved Editing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Improved Editing While Word has provided decent editing and formatting features, Word 2010 brings a few items that you will be very happy to see.
Paste Review gives you the ability to copy with source formatting, without formatting or to merge and use the existing formatting.
New graphic and text effects are also introduced with Word 2010. These will take your documents from standard to stand out.
Improved Editing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Improved Editing Among the best new editing features is the introduction of the Navigation Pane. No longer do you use CTRL+F to search with the floating box, you now get the Navigation Pane with that key combination
Improved Editing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Improved Editing You search results are now returned within the navigation pane rather than having to jump through your document for each search result.
The words or phrases are highlighted in yellow in the document and the number of occurrences is displayed at the top of the pane. If there are few enough occurrences, a snippet of text containing the words is displayed in the pane. Clicking on a particular snippet will take you to its location in the document and the words remain highlighted
Improved Editing : MITAL Technology Training Center · 1020 Hartford Turnpike, Waterford, CT 06385 · 860.440.3686 · www.mitaltraining.com Improved Editing Text effects are another addition to Word 2010 that will enable you to create more striking documents.
These can all be accessed from the Text Effects icon
