Core Dump

The ribbon in Word 2007 can save you quite a bit of time, once you get used to it. But even then, there are some omissions that will irk professional writers. As this post in the Word 2007 Bible blog points out, you can't always see the current style, font, and point size. Fortunately, you can easily set up the Quick Access Toolbar to mimic the formatting toolbar from Word 2003, and the post gives you detailed instructions on how to do it.

This is one modification I'm going to make to my own copy, right now.

I'll have a few more posts on Word 2007 in the next few days. There's been a lot of discussion about it on the wordpc-l mailing list, with a lot of information worth sharing.
