In the following tip, you’ll learn about the new conflict resolution mode in Word 2010 and how to use it.
Microsoft Office 2010 includes new co-authoring features and functionality that make it easier for users to work together on the same document without. You can take advantage of the new co-authoring in Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and Microsoft Word 2010 documents stored on a SharePoint Server 2010. You can also take advantage of the new co-authoring in the Web Apps — specifically Excel and OneNote.
If you’ve ever co-authored a document before, you’ve likely experienced some conflict; for example, when you and your co-author try to work on the document at the same time. Conflict between co-authors can also occur when working offline; when you work on the document offline and the save it to the server. Furthermore, you can also run into co-authoring challenges when you and your co-author try to work on the same part of the document at the same time.
When there are editing conflicts, Word notifies you the next time you try to save the document. In fact, Word forces you to resolve the editing conflicts before it will let you save the document to the server. Any changes in the document are saved on your computer, even if there are editing conflicts, but the conflicts must be resolved before saving to the server.
When Word identifies conflicts due to co-authoring, a notification is displayed in the message bar and the status bar. You can click any of these notifications to switch to Conflict Resolution Mode and resolve the conflicts. When you switch to Conflict Resolution Mode, all conflicts are listed in a resolution pane and the Conflict tab appears on the Ribbon.
To resolve a conflict, click the conflict within the resolution pane. When you do, the conflicting portion of the document is highlighted. Any conflicting changes made by you are marked in pink.
To keep your change, click Accept on the Conflict tab. To remove your change, click Reject.
Are you trying to find your Office 2010 product key? It can be in one of several places, and how you obtained your copy of Microsoft Office 2010 determines where you will find your product key. For example, if you purchase a copy at a retail store, the product key is likely on the product packaging or on a product key card. However, this will not be not the case if you purchase a copy online.
Note: the product key is 25 characters long and looks like: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
So let us take a look at where you can find your Office 2010 product key.
Did you purchase a copy of Office at a retail store? If you purchase a full packaged copy of Office 2010 from a retail store that contains a retail disc, the product key is likely located on an orange sticker inside the installation disc. If the package does not include an installation disc, you can still find the product key on an orange sticker inside the package.
Did you purchase a copy of Office online? If you purchase a copy of Office online and the product is shipped to you, the product key is likely located on an orange sticker within the package. If you download a copy, the product key is included in the confirmation email you receive after you purchase and download Office.
Was Office already installed on your computer? Often times when you purchase a new computer, Office comes pre-installed. In such cases, you can find the product key on a certificate of authenticity or product key card bundled with the computer packaging.
Are you using a trial version? When you opt to download a trial version of Office, you receive a confirmation email. You can find the product key for the trial version within the confirmation email.
Just because you’re using a computer doesn’t mean you can’t let your artistic side shine through — even if you’re making a document for business purposes. In the following tip, you’ll learn how to apply artistic effects to your pictures in Word 2010.
If there’s a budding graphic designer in you, you’ll love the new Artistic Effects feature in Word 2010. You can use it to apply a number of nifty artistic effects to pictures in your Word 2010 documents. The artistic effects make your pictures look more like sketches or paintings.
Let’s try it out to see how it works (and looks).
Insert a picture into your Word document. To do so, click the Insert tab followed by the Picture button within the Illustrations group. Locate a picture on your computer, select it and click Insert. With the image now inserted into your document, select it and you will see the Picture Tools tab appear.
Within the Adjust group, you will see the Artistic Effects button as shown in the figure below.
When you click the Artistic Effects button, a gallery of thumbnails appears showing the different effects you can apply. You can see a live preview of you image by hovering your mouse pointer over a thumbnail. This way you can see what an effect looks like before applying it. When you find an effect that you like, press Enter to apply it to your picture.
If you don’t want to use one of the thumbnails in the gallery, you can experiment with more advanced settings using the Artistic Effects Option. Instead of selecting one of the thumbnails from the Artistic Effects gallery, click Artistic Effect Options. The Format Picture window appears, as shown in the figure below.
From the Format Picture window, you can customize the various settings to create your own artistic effects. Click Close when you’re finished tweaking the settings to apply the changes.
Have you ever had to deal with an image in your Word document that’s just a little too big or in need of having a certain part of it cut down to size? In the following tip, you’ll learn how to use the crop tool in Word 2010 to crop an image to a different shape.
When you insert an image into your Word document, you can use the crop tool to remove unwanted areas of the image. However, you can use the crop tool for much more than this. In Word 2010, you can also use the crop tool to crop an image to a different shape. Think of it as using a cookie cutter to cut your cookie dough into shapes. For example, you can crop an image into the shape of a circle or triangle.
So let’s take a closer look at how this works. First, insert an image into your document. When you select the inserted image, the Picture Tools tab appears.
From the Picture Tools Format tab, click the bottom half of the Crop button within the Size group.
Note: if you select the top of the Crop button, the standard rectangular cropping area is activated around the image so you can crop it.
When you click the bottom half of the crop button, a menu appears as shown in the figure below.
As you can see, there is a Crop to Shape option available on the menu. Hover your mouse pointer over the Crop to Shape option and a gallery of shapes appears as shown in the figure below. You can crop the image to any of these shapes.
Select one of the shapes, such as the triangle or the star and you can see a preview of the image cropped to this shape. Press Enter to crop the shape to the selected image.
Congratulations! In a few very simple steps, you’ve successfully applied a cookie cutter to your image.
The mini-toolbar in Microsoft Word can be a helpful tool, but some people feel that it gets in the way of an otherwise good time. Do you number yourself in the former or latter category? Have you ever had the need to turn off the mini-toolbar in Microsoft Word?
In the following tip, you’ll learn how to turn the mini-toolbar on and off in Word 2010.
What is the mini-toolbar? The mini-toolbar appears any time you select text to make it easier for you to perform basic formatting tasks, such as bolding or italicizing text. The commands available on the mini-toolbar include:
Font — change the font face
Font size — increase/decrease the size of text
Grow / Shrink Font — increase/decrease the size of text
Indent — increase/decrease the indent level of the paragraph
Bold / Italicize / Underline
Center — center the text
Text Color Highlight — make text look like it was highlighted with a highlighter pen
Font Color — change the color of the text
Format Painter — copy formatting from one place and apply it to another
The mini-toolbar in Word 2010 is shown in the figure below.
As soon as you select text within your document, the small, faded out toolbar appears above the top of the text. If you move your mouse over the toolbar, it becomes clearer (no longer faded) and you can click on any of the toolbar commands to format the text.
Although the mini-toolbar is useful to some, others prefer to use the standard toolbar and find the min-toolbar to be a nuisance. If you never use the mini-toolbar, you can easily turn it off so it no longer appears when you select text. In Word 2010, click the File Tab, Options, and the General. Under the list of User Interface Options, uncheck the Show Mini Toolbar option.
Now when you select text, the mini-toolbar does not appear.
