Hello Word 2010 Quick Tour .. First look!

As some of you may know that Microsoft has released the new Office 2010 for beta testing and you can download the free beta version and try it yourself from this link: http://www.microsoft.com/office/2010/en/default.aspx
I have created a small quick tour for what I have been experienced so far as I’m one of those who don’t like to read the manual and prefer discovering new features on spot first :D
So I hope you will enjoy the screenshots below for the Word 2010. Click on images to see them in large size .. enjoy ;)
Installion window of Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Version
After downloading MS Office 2010 and starting the installation, you’ll find 2 options; either to Upgrade your current Office version or to customize your installation.
For me, I clicked on customize to know which programs will be upgraded

Upgrading to Microsoft Office 2010
When you click on customize; you’ll find 3 options of upgrading: 1- to remove office previous versions. 2- to keep all previous versions. 3- to remove specific applications & replace them with the new ones.
For me, I wanted to go clean. So I removed the old version (it was 2007 btw) bye bye…

Installing Microsoft Office 2010 Beta Version
Installation went very smoothly. Just make sure you close most of your opened programs if any & specifically MSN Messenger to complete the upgrade.
mm …. waiting for it to complete … mm .. how’s yr day my friend?? do u like some tea?? … zzzzz

Installation Complete of Office 2010
Horaaayy! ok we finished it quickly! and we’ll get this notification with a button that takes you back to MS Office website.

I recommend you restart your computer right away before using any program just to start fresh … mm Perfect!
