Way back in 2007, Microsoft made a huge leap by making a major redesign of the user interface in its’ Office suite.  Like most, I found the new design a bit strange at first. I had many questions like: where was my old friend the ‘file menu’, what happened to the print settings, and what do mean older versions can’t see this new format? But then, after using it for a while and seeing some of the new features in action, I was sold on the new approach and wouldn’t go back. It’s so much easier to make fantastic looking documents in Word and a breeze to do some really fancy stuff in Excel. I’m excited with the announcement of Microsoft Office 2010 and some of the new features that will be included. Here is a sample:

Common features:

  • Co-Authoring lets multiple people work on the same document and tell you who else is working on the document.
