Microsoft's Word 2007 Changes does away with all toolbars except one called the Quick Access Toolbar or QAT. The QAT is a tiny, unobtrusive toolbar sitting in the upper-left hand corner of your Word document. This toolbar is customizable by adding familiar buttons like: print, new document and even adding whole parts of the new "Ribbon" which replaced the previous standard toolbars. Think of the ribbon as one long "cutie" of a toolbar, with tabs along the ribbon like the Home tab (used for basic formatting of text), with pretty colors an imagery lacking in previous version of Word.

grasp than text. The most obvious changes new to Word 2007:
- Toolbars replaced by a single Ribbon with tabs along the top and is non customizable
- One small customizable toolbar called the Quick Access Toolbar or QAT
- File menu replaced by Microsoft's Logo button
Word 2007 Ribbon can be broken down into it's simplest structure as a thick bar across the top of Word with tabs across the top of the Ribbon. These tabs when clicked on like the Home tab contain "groups" of buttons or icons. For example, in the Font group on the Home tab there are buttons available that can add color to your text, change your text's size and its font type as well.
There are even hidden or out of sight buttons within some groups! For example, on the bottom-right corner of some of these groups are small expandable buttons, which expands or gives you more options that can't all squish into a group. More details or features of the group. |
