The new file format offers several benefits such as smaller file size, less prone to damages, universally accessible, improved data management, and simplified data exchange between enterprise system and Microsoft Office. Office Open XML was another improvement introduced in Microsoft Office 2007. As you scroll through the font sizes, the Live Preview will automatically change the font size of the text accordingly, but the actual change will only be applied after you click on a font size. For example, try to select text and then select a font size.
It allows you to see how a formatting option will affect your document without actually applying the option. In short, it shows you the tools that you need the most for completing your current task.Īs for the Live Preview, it can be considered as a time saving tool. For example, inserting a chart into a worksheet will make the ribbon shows the Chart Tools Design options. The ribbon consists of a number of commands that change according to what you do in Microsoft Office 2007. The whole idea of this new interface element is to help users getting access to features and options more quickly by presenting them as intuitive as possible, but not every user appreciated the change.
Many users like it, many others dislike it strongly. The ribbon has sparked debates even until today. The menu bar which displays File, Edit, View, Insert and so on are no longer there. It uses ribbons and there is a big Office button at the top left corner of the interface. One quick look at Microsoft Office 2007’s interface is probably all it needs to realize that it has changed significantly. These two changes are important to understand to use Microsoft Office 2007 to its fullest potential.
Of all the Office’s elements that underwent changes, the ones that were very obvious to users of previous versions would probably be the ribbon and live preview. It brought changes just like any other version but the changes on its new design was quite extreme. The first version of Microsoft Office 2007 was made available to retail around three years after the debut of its predecessor.
