The Things That Make Office 2010 Surpass its Predecessors

Every time Microsoft creates a new platform, there are bound to be improvements and even changes that were not there the last time around. If you’re picking up Office 2010 Home and Business, then you will surely experience what wasn't there in 2007 or 2003.

Of course, it’s tempting to want to stay with the current Office suite you have. Personally, I am still nostalgic for XP or even Windows 2000 in spite of the many things that Windows 7 can offer. But upgrading is essential if you want to be current and it will surely benefit your small/medium enterprise if your technology is the best of the best.

That being said here are some of the most prominent features of Office 2010:

Backstage View

Have you gotten used to the File menu over the past 2 decades or so? Then Backstage view is a slick new GUI that lets you see all the basic functions from file saving to printing and publishing. These are displayed as icons every time you click on the File tab on the Ribbon. Now, the Ribbon was an addition that began in the 2007 version of the app but Office 2010’s Backstage View is guaranteed to give you a much simpler yet bolder experience of initiating the basic functions of Word 2010, for instance.

Being Able to Preview Pasting

Paste Preview is so important because you may alter your formatting every time you lift material from a website. You will also know, a minute before hand if you have copied the right thing or not. Even so, as you Paste Preview, you are also able to adjust the layout, so this helps, greatly so that any and all alterations will be prevented before you begin.

Photo Editing inside PowerPoint itself

Long ago, you have always been able to paste images on Microsoft PowerPoint, but with Office 2010, you can now even edit these same photographs within the app itself.  Now, this may not be a substitute for getting Adobe Photoshop CS 6 – but being able to tweak pictures right in the document is a convenience that is sure to benefit many who are conscious of their layout during presentations.

These are just some of the ways you can benefit from Office Home and Business 2010. Just like Windows 7 or Windows 8, it make take some time to adjust to the application. But remember, practice becomes habit and habit becomes second nature.
