See the Office Button section of the "What's New" page for more details.

Where can I find commands relevant to what I'm working on?

Commands are organized into "tabs" on the Ribbon.  Each tab contains a different set of commands.  The three different tabs are: Command tabs, Contextual tabs, and Program tabs.

How do I Remove Hidden Data?

Documents often contain hidden data, such as automatically added information about a document's author or its editing history. Office 2007 provides a built-in tool to find and remove this information. This is recommended for documents that will be distributed to the public (e.g., placed on D2L) both to create a more professional document and to ensure that people cannot access sensitive information.  Click here for step-by-step instructions.
