I can find what I need to do without going through menu leading to menu. I found Excel much easier to work with using tabs than previously. It previews your choices so you don't have to click on them and then Ctrl+Z to change it back. Want to change the font in Word? Put the mouse over the new font and you'll see what your document will look like. Take the mouse off and its back to normal. Simple. Works with pictures, tables, or anything else.The extension .docx is really a zip file. If I want to work with a picture loaded into my word document, its actually a picture found inside the docx zip directory structure and I can manipulate it freely. Same goes for anything embedded in your document.You can create your own tabs! Say your company has various formats for requisitions or any other standardized document they use. They can create a "requisitions" tab in Word that has textboxes that can be filled in and will auto-populate a document correctly and quickly. This is done through .NET and an easy install that will work out of the box (or can be pushed onto company computers).That's some good stuff.Edit to add: I'm not sure what you mean by menus taking half the screen. Here's a screenshot of Word, taken with Vista's Snipping Tool.</blockquote>
