What’s new in Microsoft Office 2010...there is just so much. Indeed, so many new features are there compare to Office 2017.
The Ribbon. Microsoft’s replacement for 1980s-style menus debuted in 2007, but has been improved and polished a lot. “Many previously buried options are now much easier to discover,” Bott writes. The Ribbon makes smart use of the space atop your editing window, showing you all of the tools you might need at the moment, more like a surgeon’s tray than a menubar. OneNote and Publisher, which weren’t Ribbonized in the 2007 edition, have been brought aboard. As I wrote in 2007, you’ll hate the Ribbon at first, but eventually you’ll find yourself making better use of Office applications because the Ribbon calls them out for you based on what you’re doing, rather than sending you on a menu crawl. In Office 2010, you can also create custom Ribbon tabs with your own choices of tools grouped together.
Co-authoring. Multiple people can edit the same document at the same time from different locations. Google Docs popularized this feature. Putting it into Office removes one of the most compelling reasons to switch.
Threaded conversations. Both Outlook 2010 and Microsoft’s new Hotmail offer Gmail-like nesting of messages into conversations as an option. It can take a day or two to get used to, but for high-volume mail users it removes the need to track ongoing discussions in your head. Gmail debuted with this option six years ago. Finally, Microsoft catches up.
Navigation Pane. Goodbye Document Map, which you probably didn’t use. The new Navigation Pane shows a structural outline of the document you’re working on, with instant searching and the ability to drag section titles of a document around to re-order them. If you create anything longer than three pages on a regular basis, it encourages you to re-sort your trains of thought.3, he says, stop dithering and upgrade straight to 2010 for these reasons:
