MS WORD 2007 - New Interface

When you open Word 2007, you will notice that it looks quite different from Word 2000
and Word 2003. The same tools are all there, but they are arranged very differently and
new features have been added.
If you are already familiar with Word 2000 or 2003, it may take you a while to adjust to
this new arrangement of tools. This tutorial uses Word 2007 and you can use it as a quick
reference guide for most of the common tools.
Arrangement of Tools in Word 2007

The MS Office Button contains the main file functions


New, Open, Save, Save as, Print, Print Preview, etc.
The Quick Access Toolbar contains shortcuts to Save, Undo, and Repeat

Each Ribbon Tab displays a Ribbon that provides a set of Tool Groups.
The Ribbon Tab and the Tool Groups in the Ribbon correspond to the Menu and
Toolbar in Word 2000 and 2003
The Name of each Tool Group is listed at the bottom of the Group
Example - In the Home Tab, the second Tool Group is named Font
The name "Font" is under the Font Tool Group
To change the Tool Groups being displayed in the Ribbon

Click on the appropriate Ribbon Tab


Example - The Home Tab contains Tool Groups for the most commonly used Tools
ClipBoard, Font, Paragraph, and Style tools in Word
Some Tool Group boxes have a small arrow in the bottom right-hand corner.
If you click on this arrow, Word will open a Dialog Box which offers more options and
settings related to that Tool Group.
In Word 2007, tools with similar uses are organized so that they are usually found
within the same Tool Group or at least within one Ribbon. If you do not find a tool in the
Ribbon you think it should be in, try exploring the other Ribbon Tabs.
In this tutorial, we will not use the control keys as these function differently on different
computers. For the sake of consistency, all instructions in this tutorial refer to the Ribbon
Tabs and Tool Groups in each Ribbon.
