MacVoices #10124: Maria Langer On The Changes in Microsoft Word 2011 and How To Learn Them

Maria Langer, the author of the brand new Word for Mac 2011 Essential Training for lynda.com talks about the new version of the venerable word processing program, and whether you really need it. Part of the new Microsoft Office for Mac 2011, Word 2011 has greatly reduced the number of available toolbars, eliminated the formatting palette, and added the much-talked about ribbon. Maria explains why those changes require some learning, but are for the best. The different kinds of tables in Word and which to use for what, the return of macros and why you need to understand privacy and security in Word documents are all part of the discussion.
