I have been setting up Word 2007 for clients that have purchased new computers. Everyone seems to love the new ribbon design and I have discovered 3 changes that will make your transition go smoother.
1. Change the Save files in this format to Word 2003 and below until all the firm has converted to Word 2007. .docx is an xml file format that Word 2003 users will have trouble opening. This is the first time since 1997 that Microsoft has changed the office file format and in the long run it will be will worth it.
2. Change the Default File Location to your server or your document repository unless you have a DMS installed.
3. Download the Microsoft Save As PDF add in for free so you can save your documents as PDF. This will be very important if you decided to ignore my first recommendation.
