The Office 2010 release date is almost here, in the coming weeks it will be released worldwide for millions of office enthusiasts to finally get their hands on. This release has been more highly anticipated than the 2007 release and this could be attributed to the high quality beta that was released in August/September of 2009 that showed off some of the new features. As the launch date for Office 2010 is looming more features have become reviewed and mentioned and they have fans dying to get their hands on this release. In the past Office editions there has not been a beta so I believe this is partially the reason for such demand of this new edition. The new features of this release will give Office users more flexibility and speed to complete tasks much faster than ever before. The features of Office 2010 and the Release date will be discussed in this article to help you gain an insight into the world's most popular office software.
As Office 2010 release date closes in, the biggest feature on everyone's lips is the ability to do image editing inside Word 2010. At first you might think, wait we could do this before by adding borders and resizing and even add a couple effects. This is now ancient compared to the capabilities of the new photo editing software that is in-built into Word 2010. You can resize images, add artistic effects to the finest customizable detail. You can even use a powerful image editing tool that removes backgrounds with ease so you can manipulate any image quickly. I know when the release date of Office 2010 finally comes around and I install this Office suite on my PC, this will be the first feature I will be taking a look at and testing out. I have been watching a few videos and they make the old way of copying an image into paint or photoshop look awful and this new way is mouthwatering for me. It will save me so many hours a week so I can't wait. The core behind this benefit is the way Microsoft has simplified the image editing task that would normally be either extremely awkward or far too complex in Photoshop or even just paint.
Office 2010 now offers the ribbon menu across its entire range of product. Previously it was just available in the form of Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Access but now it has been integrated across the entire range including Outlook, Publisher and Onenote. This has more than made up for the delay because the layout of the buttons on the menu is logical and well thought out so you can now operate the mail handler much more efficiently.
In summary, the Office 2010 release date is almost here and Office software enthusiasts should be more than satisfied with the release that Microsoft has packaged together. It offers improved performance and speed on Windows 7 and also better integration across all operating systems. The cost to upgrade is more than worth the massive benefits that are available. I have mentioned several of the core upgrades and new features of Office 2010 but there are still many more amazing discoveries that I am sure everyone will be waiting to see and get their hands on.
The New Features of Microsoft Word 2010

When Office 2007 was released just a few short years ago the franchise received a complete makeover with the new menu on display called the ribbon menu. Microsoft Word received that big change and in the coming months Word 2010 will be released and it has several new features that fans will be dying to get their hands on. This article will outline the core features of the new release and explain the major benefits of each feature in Word 2010.
The first major feature that has been implemented in Word 2010 is the introduction of photo editing or image manipulation right into Word. Previously a user would require the help of an application like Photoshop which in itself is an extremely complicated piece of software. Microsoft have noticed the pitfalls of switching between programs just to do simple edits which could be much better if incorporated into Word. Some of the additional benefits you can get from the image editing in Word is the background removal tool.
Background removal is a common technique acted on an image to make an image blend in or to just make it look tidied. This used to be very difficult in paint and very tough in Photoshop without any knowledge of image editing so the introduction of it into Word had to be easy to use. Microsoft has simplified the whole process in Word by reducing the task to just a few buttons and the background of pictures can be removed in seconds with ease.
Another feature that has been added to Word 2010 is the artistic effects that can be done to an image. The main aim of an image effect change in Word 2010 is to be simple and easily done and i believe this has been done successfully. The options can be selected in one click or hovered over to see a preview of the effect.
Another few standard features of releases in the Office range is the addition of extra templates and document layouts. The new templates in 2010 have really improved on the ones provided with Office 2007 and to be honest those templates were beginning to become very stale from over use. So with the new templates you will easily begin to impress with your new reports and documents.
In summary, Word 2010 offers a great range of benefits over 2007 and fans will be dying to get there hands on this one. The photo editing tools are extremely useful and will only truly be appreciated over time when we completely rely on them to get the documents we work on competed faster.
PowerPoint 2007 - Top 7 New Features
In addition to the dramatically different user interface and new file formats shared with other Microsoft Office 2007 programs, Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 also sports an upgraded look and improved tools:
PowerPoint 2007 includes new Themes, Layouts, and Quick Styles which offer you a wide range of options for formatting your presentations. In the past, formatting a presentation was time-consuming because you had to choose the color and style options individually. With one click, the background, text, graphics, charts, and tables all change to reflect the theme you select, ensuring all elements in your presentation complement one another. Select a theme, and the Quick Style galleries change to adapt to that particular theme.
When you scroll over the wide variety of presentation themes in PowerPoint, you will see slides and objects display with Real-time Previews that show you what they will look like if you decide to apply the settings.
With Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007 there are now expanded choices for slide layouts in each slide master. Plus, you can also create your own Custom Slide Layouts.
New SmartArt diagrams, a new charting engine, and enhanced graphics help you create professional-looking layouts with 3-D shapes, transparency, drop shadows, and other effects. Slide graphics can look even more impressive with improved text and shape effects including reflections, glows, soft edges, and enhanced 3D controls.
Microsoft Chart has been banished! PowerPoint 2007 charts are now automatically created in Excel for ease of use and more professional results.
By using two monitors, and the Presenter View, you can run your PowerPoint 2007 presentation from one monitor while your audience views it on the second monitor. With the Presenter View, you can customize which slides to display, see preview text, and use speaker notes as a script for your presentation.
With new and improved features that Protect and Manage information, you can find and remove hidden data (sometimes called metadata) and personal information, and prevent changes to a final version of a presentation.
Word 2007 - Top 7 New Features
In addition to the dramatically different user interface and new file formats shared with other Microsoft Office 2007 programs, Microsoft Office Word 2007 also claims a number of improvements and new features.
Spend less time formatting with Quick Styles and Document Themes designed to make it easy to quickly change the appearance of text, tables and graphics throughout an entire document.
Improved formatting and organized page layout features in the Word 2007 Ribbon make it much simpler to find the options you want to customize your documents. Plus, context-sensitive tabs for Picture Tools, Text Box Tools, Table Tools and other document elements, give you easy access to the formatting features you need when you need them.
New SmartArt diagrams, a new charting engine that links to Microsoft Office Excel 2007, and enhanced graphics help you create great-looking content with 3-D shapes, transparency, drop shadows, and other superior effects.
Quickly assemble documents using Building Blocks, a feature of the Quick Parts tools. Building Blocks are frequently used, standard pieces of content in a document (contact information, cover pages, disclaimer text, signature blocks) that you save to be reused in other documents. These enhanced tools are similar to AutoText entries created in previous versions of Word.
Easily share documents with other people with the choice of saving as Portable Document Format (PDF) or XML Paper Specification (XPS) format without adding third-party tools. (Free Microsoft add-in needed).
Use the new tri-pane review panel to review, compare, combine, and see what changes were made to a document. Reviewing is also now more intuitive from the dedicated Review tab in the Word 2007 Ribbon.
Remove tracked changes, comments, personal information, and hidden text (sometimes called metadata) from your documents using the Document Inspector to help ensure that sensitive information is not shared when your documents are published.
