MS Office 2010 - Different Versions, Different Uses and Shortcuts

Posted on 14:08 by Unknown
Now that Microsoft has had its Office 2010 versions out for several months, a lot of people are asking if they should make the change.  The move from office 2003 to 2007 changed the look and feel of all the office products.

Outlook 2010 has many new features and the most useful feature that I use, is the conversation tool. This tool takes all the emails from one conversation and groups them together, eliminating all that time it takes to go back looking for old emails from several different people.

Another feature of MS 2010 is the ability to work in groups. This makes it easy to brainstorm ideas, keep versions in sync, and meet deadlines faster. Co-authoring in Word 2010, PowerPoint 2010, Excel Web App, and OneNote 2010 shared notebooks enable you to edit the same file at the same time with other people — even when they’re in different locations.

Microsoft Office Backstage™ view replaces the traditional File menu to give you a centralized space for all of your file management tasks, including save, share, print, and publish. The enhanced Ribbon, common across Office 2010 applications, lets you access commands quickly and create or customize tabs to fit your work style.


Different Versions, Different Uses

As with previous Microsoft Office releases, Office 2010 will be available in different versions to meet the needs of a variety of customers. Retail editions of Office 2010 contain programs aimed toward the needs of different users, ranging from commonly-used applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint for students to less common programs such as Publisher and Access for use by professionals.

Because of the different roles intended for the various versions of Microsoft Office 2010, the installation limitations will vary depending on the version that is purchased. Office 2010 Home and Student Edition, for example, will be available in family packs that allow installation on up to three different computers with a single product key; other versions of Office 2010 that are designed for work environments will only allow installation on two computers (presumably for home and for the workplace.) Individual product keys will be available directly from Microsoft to allow additional installations for those who already have access to the Office 2010 software.

Version Comparison

Home and Student Edition: Office 2010 Home and Student Edition contains full versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote. It is designed to provide word processing, spreadsheet, presentation, and organizational functionality to home users and students.

Home and Business Edition: Office 2010 Home and Business Edition contains the same products that are available with the Home and Student Edition, adding Outlook to the package for email access and organization.

Professional Edition: Office 2010 Professional Edition contains the same products as the Home and Business Edition, adding Microsoft Publisher (for desktop publishing) and Microsoft Access (for database management) to the software package as well.  A"Professional Academic" version of the package is also available through Northern Computer - an authorized academic reseller.

Common MS Office Shortcuts

Microsoft Office 2010 provides hundreds of commands, but you’ll likely only use a handful of those commands on a regular basis. To save time, use these keyboard shortcuts. With little effort, you can open files, find content, edit that content, and more!

There are many different ways to purchase an Office Suite.  Whether it be a Retail boxed version, an OEM version with a new computer, or a licensing program for your organization.  The sales team at Northern Computer can help you with your Microsoft Office needs.
