Default Word 2007 is "More intuitive??"

Hi Taz,

Actually I got myself on that one

What I had forgotten was the effect of not having used

Tools=Customize=Options=[Reset Menu and Toolbar Usage Data]

In a locked down Office deployment (i.e. where things reset after every session for the next login), if the 'everyone the same'
cloning occured (as it did in the common profile at work) with usage data from testing still stored, not reset, then the 'default'
positions of the buttons (including Print Preview) are different for that 'startup' experience than the original 'out of the box'
ones.

As this one covers a whole lot of users g the help desk position has been that to change it would cause more confusion and
since the CIO received compensation in the 7-figure range last year, it's a bit tough to get things changed that are set in.

Yeah, you got him there, Suzanne:-)

In every version of Word I can recall [going back to Word 1.0 on the Mac]
there has been a Print Preview button on the Standard toolbar as an
out-of-the-box feature - right next to the Print button. It never had to be
added to a toolbar as an optional customization prior to Word 2007 - unless
you wanted it elsewhere as well or instead of the default location.

If developments on the Mac are any indication of coming trends in Windows -
not that such a thing would ever happen or has ever happened in the past:-)
- print services are being overtly assumed by the OS & printer software. MS
may be weaning their apps away from Print Preview altogether - in Office:Mac
2008 it's already been removed completely from Excel & PowerPoint.
