The user interface has been significantly redesigned in the following 2007 Microsoft Office system programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook (in the composing and reading windows). The Microsoft Office Button replaces the File menu and is located in the upper-left corner of these Microsoft Office programs.

When you click the Microsoft Office Button , you see the same basic commands available in earlier releases of Microsoft Office to open, save, and print your file.

Grayed out areas are not supported.

At the bottom click the Word or PowerPoint or Access Options button. Go through the various screens and customize the options.

However, in the 2007 Office release, more commands are now available, such as Prepare and Publish. For example, in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by pointing to Prepare, and then clicking Inspect Document, you can check a file for hidden metadata or personal information.

Click all the Icons to review available tasks.
