Word 2010 - New Features

http://www.GCFLearnFree.org

Word 2010 is a word processor that allows you to create various types of documents such as letters, papers, flyers, faxes and more. In this lesson, you will be introduced to the Ribbon and the new Backstage view, and you'll learn how to create new documents and open existing ones.

Word 2010 is a bit different from earlier versions, so even if you've used Word before, you should take some time to familiarize yourself with the interface. The toolbars are similar to those in Word 2007, and they include the Ribbon and the Quick Access Toolbar. Unlike Word 2007, commands such as Open and Print are housed in Backstage view, which replaces the Microsoft Office Button.

Watch the video to learn about the Ribbon, Backstage View, and the Quick Access Toolbar.

It seems that no one has tried print preview on a 15" screen or less. If they did, they would've figured out how stupid the fixed left pane is.

Don't get me started on the ribbons smh.

@T3rrar Not sure if this is exactly what you mean, but you can add a picture, make it full page, then (on 2010) use Picture Tools, Color, and pick washout (or whatever appeals to you), then format it as "behind text" (be careful, very difficult to select it once you've done this) and your text will be 'on top' of your picture. Hope this helps.
