I have been using the technical preview for Office 2010 for the past month and I have to say I am loving it. Some of the improvements that I’ve noticed are:

•  Improved Speed: It seems to open documents a lot faster than its predecessors.
•  Better Options: In terms of printing and editing.
•  Improved Layout & User Interface: Using the office button you see an eye catching layout with a user friendly interface.

I think Microsoft in now catching up on what the user really wants to see. Like Windows 7, Office 2010 sports some extras and has a few improvements.  The information tab under the Office Button has quite a few options depending on what you are editing.

One of the things that I enjoy seeing is the information on the document, when it was created, was it ever modified and by who also was it ever printed, and total editing time. You also have the option to set the permissions on the documents.

Every time I opened a document which was not created on my computer I got a warning telling me that the document was read only. I have the option to remove that read only warning and I proceed to modifying my documents. The options for sharing are all under one tab. For the PDF option I have a PDF creator installed so I am not sure if MS is using it on its own or my PDF creator is giving me that option. Either way having that open is great since it is a great format to email documents.

So far that is all I am going to report on for Word 2010 until I start seeing some more things that will be interesting to mention.
