RE: Differences between Word 2003 and 2007

Hi Sonja, thanks for your query. The differences between Word 2003 and 2007 are mainly cosmetic, with the introduction of the ribbon, loss of toolbars except the Quick Access and mini-toolbar, and the Live Preview being the most obvious. Here, however, is a more comprehensive list of what is new in 2007:

Hope this helps,

Anthony

Word tip:

Reduce file sizes for Word documents

By default, Word will have a 'Fast Save' option enabled in its settings.

Having this option enabled does not really provide any advantage in terms of quicker save times; and it can help contribute to a larger file size as nothing is ever deleted from the document (to the computer's way of thinking).

Fast saves can be disabled to going to Tools - Options - Save then unchecking 'Allow fast saves'and clicking OK.

Saving is done in the normal fashion (Save button or Ctrl + S) and you shouldn't notice much of a difference in the amount of time Word takes to perform the save(if any).
