MS WORD 2010

INTRODUCTION

3. Integration of Screenshot feature

The screenshot tool in Microsoft word 2010 allows us to capture an image of a particular screen and then insert into our document. However, this feature is not available if we are working on a document in compatibility mode, as it is new to Word 2010. The option of screenshot can be reached out by clicking Insert- >> Illustration->>Screenshot as shown in the fig. 1.2.5. When we click screenshot, we automatically get few screenshot samples from the background (that is at the back of the word document). We can either select from the available screenshot or click on Screen clipping to take the screenshot ourselves. If we select Screen Clipping , our word document will get minimized and a resizable window will appear over our background.

4. Background Removal Tool

It is a handy new tool that narrows the gap between word processor and image editor. If there are large areas of picture that word can identify as being the background, we can remove it very easily using the Background Removal Tool. To do so, select the picture and double click it. The Format tab gets activated. Click on to Remove Background option shown in fig 1.2.6 and click on Background Removal. The area with purple color as highlighted in fig 1.2.7 will be erased and the one with the original color will stay. Simply drag the area to use Mark to include and Mark to remove options to mark the area to be removed from images.

5. Backstage view
Backstage view is the nerve centre of Word 2010, wherein we can perform actions that affect the whole document (for example saving and printing) or the word program itself. In the Microsoft office backstage view, we do everything to a file that we do not do in the file. The latest innovation in Microsoft office fluent user interface and a companion feature to the ribbon, the backstage view is where we manage our files creating, saving, inspecting for hidden metadata or personal information and setting options.

6. Artistic Effects
There are lots of different Artistic Effects with just one mouse click that can be applied to the pictures we insert into our word document. The beauty of Artistic Effects is that we can apply them quickly and we dont have to perform complicated steps to get stunning results. If we have time to experiment, though, we might like to exert more control over the effects

by using the Artistic Effects options. We can apply Artistic Effects to a picture, over a picture fill to make the picture look more like sketch, drawing, or painting. A picture fill is a shape or other object with a picture applied to fill it. We can apply only one Artistic Effects at a time to a picture, so applying a different Artistic Effect will remove the previously applied Artistic Effect.

7. Open type features

We can use the new Open Type features in Microsoft Word 2010 with the font that supports these features to make our document look professionally printed. The Open Type features include ligatures, number spacing options, number form options, and stylistic sets.

8. More themes
A theme in office affects the whole document and offers way to co-ordinate different elements of the page stylishly. Live previews (just hover over the thumbnail image of the theme) let us see what the theme will look like when applied, before we actually apply it.

9. Protected view
Word 2010 will open documents in protected view. If they come from untrusted source, such as: The internet ; An email attachment; Our temporary internet file folder; A location defined in network policy as unsafe.

The document is opened in a read only mode in a sandbox for safety. In Protected view, files are open with editing functions disabled. Files from a potentially unsafe location, such as the internet or an email attachment, or that contain active content, such as a macros, data connections, or activeX controls, are validated and can open in Protected View. Files from trusted source can be enabled by clicking Enable Editing, or data about the file can be explored in Microsoft Office Backstage View.

10. New numbering formats

Word 2010 includes new fixed-digit numbering formats, such as 001,002,003 and 0001, 0002, 0003.
