Get to new document quicker in Office 2007
When I click on the "new document" icon in Word 2007, I get a window that
presents me with an option to creat a blog post, or a new document. Is there an icon (like in Office 2003) that lets me instantly create a new document, or a keyboard shortcut I can use? -- Paul MS Office 2007 XP Home SP3 Dell Inspiron 1501 |

You can add this capability to your Quick Access Toolbar (the small toolbar above the ribbon and to the right of the Office Button). On the Quick Access Toolbar click the More button (little arrow) at the end and select "New". -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx |

The built-in keyboard shortcut for creating a new document in all
versions of Word is Ctrl + N. You can also add the New Document icon to the QAT from the Office Button/Word Options/Customize dialog box.

I already have it at the QAT. The problem is that when I click on that (or
even, just after going to the Office button and then selecting "New," is that instead of immediately giving me a new document, I am given a choice about a new document or a blog. Is there any icon I can click on to simply create a new document, without having to take that extra step? -- Paul MS Office 2007 XP Home SP3 Dell Inspiron 1501 |

You've used the wrong command. In All Commands, choose New or New Blank
Document instead of New... -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Paul" wrote in message ... I already have it at the QAT.

Remove the New command you currently have and select "New" from the list of commands you see when you click the More button at the end of the QAT it will add the button you are looking for. :-) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx |

... Thanks to you both. I'm actually going to have a bit of fun this weekend getting 2007 just right--if I don't pull my hair out first. Thanks for saving me a few tufts. Spend a little time customizing your QAT so it looks a lot like the old Standard toolbar and Formatting toolbar. When you're finished, minimize the Ribbon (double-click on any tab to minimize/restore it) and you'll likely find something that feels a little more familiar to you. That's what saved me from chucking Office 2007 out the door a few years ago. ;-) Here are a few additional tips for adding commands to your QAT: - To add a command, right-click the command, either on the Ribbon or those found under the Microsoft Office Button, and then click "Add to Quick Access Toolbar". - To add an entire group, such as the Font group on the Home tab, right-click the group name instead of a button in the group. - Right-click a dialog box launcher (little arrow in the right corner of many groups) to add a one click access to a dialog box to your QAT. - Spend some time looking through the "Commands not in the ribbon" in Word Options/Customize. Add those commands you find interesting and try them out. If you find you don't need them then right-click the button and click "Remove from Quick Access Toolbar" Also: - Right-click *everything*. Unlike previous versions, some commands can only be found by right-clicking. This includes the thumbnails in the galleries as well. - Use Interactive Guides to help you find commands you're unable to locate. They can be found in Help or by using these links: Excel : http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...491511033.aspx PowerPoint: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/po...490761033.aspx Word: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/wo...744321033.aspx - Spend a little time on Office Online. It contains a wealth of resources from tips and tricks to training. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Melton What is a Microsoft MVP? http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/gp/mvpfaqs Guides for the Office 2007 Interface: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/tr...295841033.aspx |
