Finding features

The Office Pioneer posted about finding a feature in Office 2007 and then having some one point out that it wasn't new?

Which ably demonstrates the rationale behind the new look for Office - namely, that there were hundreds of features that most users weren't aware of (even those of us who would consider ourselves to have a strong knowledge of the products!).

That is true, I've seen quite a few things in the ribbon that I had forgotten were available.

Actually, if you really want to get a good picture of how far Office has come, try supporting an older version for awhile. Due to various circumstances, Office 2003 hasn't been fully rolled out at our firm. Every once in awhile, I have to help someone do something like create an outline in Word 2000. Man, that function came a long way in 2003, let alone 2007! I'd like to sit down and show someone how to do that the next time I hear that Word hasn't been improved since 97. :)
