The
Main Four Differences Between Microsoft Office 2007 and Microsoft Office 2003
There are few differences between Microsoft Office 2007 and
Microsoft Office 2003. As we know, some new features have been added to
MS-Office 2007. The appearance has also been improved. This tips is only created
for those who are not familiar with Office 2007 so that they can learn it
easily.
The main four differences are;
Menu bar :
See the picture below:
Ribbon :
The ribbon with a Logo in MS-Office 2007, the
normal drop down menus in MS-Office 2003 has been replaced. Most people who
have been using Office 2003 got confused with this since we cannot see the File
Menu button where we can directly select New, Open, Save, etc. But those are
still there with the ribbon. This interfaces makes us easier while using the

XML file Format :
When we talk about Office 2003, it means .doc file
extension. Now a new file format has been added called .docx. If we save any
file or data in this format, we can’t read or open it using previous versions
of Microsoft office. But don’t
worry,
there are still the old file formats as well. And we can open the previous
versions file format in Microsoft Office 2007. So if you are transferring a MS
office file to another user or sending it through email, it’s best to sent it
as .doc so that anyone who is using any version of Microsoft Office can open
and read it.
