White Space between pages
When viewing their documents in Print Layout, users can easily hide the blank spaces and the header/footer area between the pages of their documents. This eliminates wasted space on their screen and allows for easy reading and editing.
Watermarks
Users can easily select a picture, logo, or custom Indian language text to apply as the background of their Word document.
To add an Indian language Watermark, on the Format menu, point to Background, and then click Printed Watermark. To insert a text watermark, click Text Watermark, and then select or enter the text that you want
Reveal Formatting (Task Pane)
The Reveal Formatting Task Pane shows—in any point in the document—the current font, paragraph, spacing, image, table properties, and more. Because users can easily update any of these properties, they can more easily apply formatting to their document without having to spend time figuring out how to do so. Furthermore, users can easily compare the formatting of two different sections of a document and apply the formatting of one to the other.
Select View>Task Pane and then Styles and Formatting
Styles & Formatting
The Styles and Formatting Task Pane gives users the ability to see the formatting in use in their document (both styled and direct formatting), recently used formatting, and all the available styles. Users can select all text in the document with the same style or direct formatting, and easily apply a new format or style all at once. Users will benefit by being able to easily reuse formatting within their document without needing to create styles.
Table Styles
Users now can define a style for a table. This makes it easy to make one table look like another by simply applying the style to the table from the Styles and Formatting pane.
Drawing Canvas
The Drawing Canvas allows users to create a drawing area, or canvas, within which all objects have an absolute position. This eliminates difficult positioning problems. Additionally, within the canvas, users can use the OfficeArt smart connectors that stay connected when shapes are moved and intelligently reroute themselves, preventing diagramming headaches for the user.
Multi-selection
Users easily can select multiple areas of a document at once, thereby saving time when formatting their document. Additionally, with the Find feature, users can simultaneously select similarly formatted text and reformat it.
Clear Formatting
With the new Clear Formatting feature, users can easily remove all formatting from text, restoring it to the Normal document style without removing hyperlinks.
Multi-user editing
Word now provides the ability for multiple users to edit one document at the same time. Although this functionality does not support simultaneous editing, users do not need to wait for a file to be unlocked before starting to work on it.
Table of contents
Word now automatically detects document headings and can automatically generate and update a table of contents without the need for users to apply styles.
Bulleted/numbered lists
Users can manually edit the number or bullet in the list or drag and drop bullets to change indents. Word is now also smarter in the way it handles bulleted and numbered lists, causing fewer undesired results for the user working with combined lists, sub-levels, tabbing, or plain text. Finally, if an automatic correction takes place while the user is working with bullets, a Smart Tag enables the user to undo (or turn off) the automatic behavior.
Check Formatting
The Check Format functionality in Word version 2002 finds inconsistencies in formatting and allows the user to quickly fix them to create a consistent, good-looking document. Additionally, it can automatically fix odd formatting such as odd bullets and numbering and mixed paragraph spacing.
Compare & Merge
Word now gives users the ability to merge comments and revisions from multiple reviewers. The author (document owner) then can accept or reject one or all revisions.
Reviewing Toolbar
The Reviewing toolbar gives users a variety of views and options when reviewing documents. For example, users can filter the document to view changes or comments by specific reviewers or by all reviewers. Users can also step through each change and accept or reject the changes individually, or they can accept or reject all changes at the same time.
