2. Formatting Effects
 Word 2010 has new and improved
formatting effects. You can add effects
such as gradient fills and reflections
directly to the text in your document. You
can also apply many of the same effects
to text and shapes that you might already
use for pictures, charts, and SmartArt
graphics.

4. Navigation Pane
The much improved navigation
pane and find tools save time and
simplify your work. The new
enhancements make it easier than
ever to browse, search, and even
reorganize document content right
from a single, easy-to-use pane.

7. More Themes
 A theme in Office affects the whole
document and offers a way to co-
ordinate different elements of the page
stylishly. Live previews (just hover over the
thumbnail image of the theme) let you
see what the theme will look like when
applied, before you actually apply it.

9. Paste Preview
 When you copy a styled piece of text, Paste Preview in Word
2010 gives you a variety of options when it comes time to paste
it:
 Keep Source Formatting – this option retains the formatting
used on the source document you copied. This means that text
will be displayed using the same fonts and other attributes like
the line height of text will be retained too. Images are inserted
with the same vertical and horizontal spacing.
 Merge Formatting – the pasted elements will adopt the
formatting currently in use in the destination Word 2010
document.
 Keep Text Only – using this option will discard certain things that
were present in the source, such as images and formatting.
Only plain text will be pasted so headings, for example, will lose
their size and bolding.

11. Screenshot Tool
 The screenshot tool in Microsoft Word 2010
allows you to capture an image of a
particular screen and then insert it into
your document.

13. Artistic Effects
 There are lots of different Artistic Effects that
you can apply to the pictures you insert into
your Word document. These effects are
applied with just one mouse click. The beauty
of Artistic Effects is that you can apply them
quickly and you don’t have to perform
complicated steps to get stunning results. If
you have time to experiment, though, you
might like to exert more control over the
effects by using the Artistic Effect Options.

15. Background Removal Tool
 There is a handy new tool that narrows
the gap between word processor and
image editor. Word 2010 now has a
background removal tool, although it’s
pretty basic compared to Adobe
Photoshop’s capabilities. If there are large
areas of a picture that Word can identify
as being the background, you can
remove it very easily using the
background removal tool.

18. Improved WordArt
 WordArt is a gallery of text styles that you
can add to your Office documents to
create decorative effects, such as
shadowed or reflected text. In Word and
PowerPoint, you can also convert existing
text into WordArt. The good thing about
WordArt is that even with complicated
effects, it remains editable text.
