Office 2010.....again
 
Hi there,

I hope that those of you who already use Office 2010 can help me, again ;o)

I have now found out how to customize the ribbon. I do have one problem, though. I added a quick-start button for adding word art and sometimes a menu opens that lets me chose from a variety of "A"s and sometimes that standard collection of the previous versions opens. Can you tell me why that is? When I open a new document it sometimes happens that I can �t even insert word art, the button doesn´t react to the mouse, blends into the background.

Please help.
Thanks

Hi Regina

I think the problem you �re referring to is the difference between saving a document was a �word document � and saving it in compatability mode. When you start a new document it automatically allows you the new word features - those special style �A �s. When it �s in compatability mode you only have the features from previous versions of Office which is when you get the standard collection.

I don �t know why you can �t always insert. I �d have to actually be at your computer for that and it �s a bit of a long drive!

Hi Lindsey,

Thank you for answering. Actually, you are right, when I open a new document it allows me the new features but not the old ones, how can that be? I can�t change the outer shape of word anymore, no circles, no triangles......

Got it! You were right...compatibility mode.....well, I guess changing from a 10-yearl-old version was too much of a step ;o)

There is the new command "transform."

Thank you and have a nice weekend.
