Presentation transcript:

Get up to speed A new file format One more big change in the new version of Word: an improved file format. What does that mean to you? The new file format helps keep your file sizes smaller, and it helps keep them safer. There are other advantages, too.

Get up to speed Why the change? XML The new Word document file format is based on the new Office Open XML Formats. The format brings lots of benefits: Helps make your documents safer. Helps make your document file sizes smaller. Helps make your documents less susceptible to damage.

Get up to speed Why the change? New features The new file format also gives you the ability to use features that are only available in Word One example is the new SmartArt ™ graphics feature. The illustration shows you how to start such a graphic in Word. Notice how many SmartArt graphic designs are available to choose from.

Get up to speed How do I know I’m using the new format? When you create a new document in Word 2007, and then save the document, the new file format will automatically be chosen for you. You can make sure of this by looking closely at the Save As dialog box. Notice that the Save as type box says Word Document. This means the new file format is being used.

Get up to speed There’s more than one file format? Previously, there were just two Word file types: documents and templates (.doc and.dot). With Word 2007 there are four file types:.docx,.dotx,.docm, and.dotm (the “x” stands for XML and the “m” for macro). Take a look at the table for details. The only outward difference you are likely to see with new Word file formats is if you use macros or code. File extensionWhat it’s used for.docxStandard Word document with no macros or code.dotxWord template with no macros or code.docmWord document that could contain macros or code.dotmWord template that could contain macros or code

Get up to speed What about the documents I already have? You’re probably wondering, “What happens when I open my older documents in the new version of Word?” Word 2007 can open files created in all previous versions of Word, 1.0 through Word opens older documents in compatibility mode. You know this because at the top of the document “(Compatibility Mode)” appears next to the file name.

Get up to speed Compatibility mode What’s compatibility mode all about? In short, Word is telling you that the document uses an older file format. Because that file format doesn’t understand some of the new features in the new version of Word, those features are either turned off or modified so that they approximate an older version of Word.

Get up to speed Converting your old files Can you convert an older document to the new file format? Naturally. With the document open in Word 2007, you just click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click the Convert command on the menu. This conversion offers the benefits of the new format (helps create smaller, more secure files, and so on) and also the new features with their full, undiminished capabilities.

Get up to speed Share documents using a converter If you’ll be sharing documents, there are conversion methods you’ll want to know about. Here’s a common scenario that involves a converter. Start by supposing that you’re using the new file format, either by creating and saving new documents or by upgrading older documents by using the Convert command on the menu that opens from the Microsoft Office Button.

Get up to speed Share documents using a converter If you’ll be sharing documents, there are conversion methods you’ll want to know about. Here’s a common scenario that involves a converter. Your friend John has an older version of Word that came with Office You want to use to send him your latest document. Will he be able to open it? Yes. When John clicks the document, the message shown here will ask if he wants to download a converter that will let him open your document.

Get up to speed Share documents using a converter If you’ll be sharing documents, there are conversion methods you’ll want to know about. Here’s a common scenario that involves a converter. The document John opens won’t look exactly the same as the one you made, because there are many features in your new version of Word that don’t exist in his version. Still, he can open it, and will be able to work with it and send it back to you.

Get up to speed Share documents by saving with an older format Concerned that John doesn’t have his installation of Office 2000 fully updated? Save your document with an older file format before sending it to him. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and on the menu, point to the arrow at the end of the Save As command. Click Word format in the list of options. Here’s how:

Get up to speed Share documents by saving with an older format You may get a warning that saving in the older file format will cause certain features to be lost or modified. For example, if your document contains a new diagram, Word will notify you that the diagram will be combined into a single, uneditable object. That way John can at least see the diagram. But John won’t be able to edit it, because his version of Word doesn’t understand how to work with this new feature.
