Create professional-looking documents

Office Word 2007 provides editing and reviewing tools for creating polished documents more easily than ever before.

Spend more time writing, less time formatting

A new, results-oriented interface presents tools to you when you need them, in a clear and organized fashion:

Save time and get more out of the powerful Word capabilities by selecting from galleries of predefined

styles, table formats, list formats, graphical effects, and more.

Word eliminates the guesswork when you apply formatting to your document. The galleries of formatting

choices give you a live visual preview of the formatting in your document before you commit to making a

change.

Add preformatted elements with just a few clicks

Office Word 2007 introduces building blocks for adding preformatted content to your documents:
When you are working on a document from a particular template type, such as a report, you can select from

a gallery of preformatted cover pages, pull quotes, and headers and footers to make your document look

more polished.

If you want to customize the preformatted content, or if your organization often uses the same piece of

content, such as legal disclaimer text or customer contact information, you can create your own building

blocks that you select from the gallery with a single click.

Communicate more effectively with high-impact graphics

New charting and diagramming features include three-dimensional shapes, transparency, drop shadows, and other

effects.

Instantly apply a new look and feel to your documents

When your company updates its look, you can instantly follow suit in your documents. By using Quick Styles and

Document Themes, you can quickly change the appearance of text, tables, and graphics throughout your document

to match your preferred style or color scheme.

Easily avoid spelling errors

The following are some new features of the spelling checker:

The spelling checker has been made more consistent across the 2007 Microsoft Office system programs.

Examples of this change include:

Several spelling checker options are now global. If you change one of these options in one Office

program, that option is also changed for all the other Office programs. For more information, see

Change the way spelling and grammar checking work.

In addition to sharing the same custom dictionaries, all programs can manage them using the same

dialog box. For more information, see Use custom dictionaries to add words to the spelling checker.

The 2007 Microsoft Office system spelling checker includes the post-reform French dictionary. In Microsoft

Office 2003, this was an add-in that had to be separately installed. For more information, see Change the

way spelling and grammar checking work.


An exclusion dictionary is automatically created for a language the first time that language is used.

Exclusion dictionaries let you force the spelling checker flag words you want to avoid using. They are handy

for avoiding words that are obscene or that don't match your style guide. For more information, see Use

exclusion dictionaries to specify a preferred spelling for a word.

The spelling checker can find and flag some contextual spelling errors. Have you ever typed a mistake

similar to the following? I will see you their. In Office Word 2007, you can enable the Use contextual

spelling option to get help with finding and fixing this type of mistake. This option is available when

checking the spelling of documents in English, German or Spanish. For more information, see Choose how

spelling and grammar checking work.

You can disable spelling and grammar checking for a document or for all documents you create.

Share documents confidently

When you send a draft of a document to your colleagues for their input, Office Word 2007 helps you efficiently collect

and manage their revisions and comments. When you are ready to publish the document, Office Word 2007 helps

you ensure that any unresolved revisions and comments aren't still lurking in the published document.

Quickly compare two versions of a document

Office Word 2007 makes it easy to find out what changes were made to a document. When you compare and

combine documents, you can see both versions of the document — with the deleted, inserted, and moved text clearly

marked in a third version of the document.
