Perhaps the most compelling new aspect of Word 2010 is its image menu. With "Keep Text Only," the text copied over without any of its original formatting. With the Merge Formatting Option, images, background colors, and boldness remained true, but the font size and face changed to match our Word document. With the "Keep Source Formatting" option, all of our colors and fonts looked as they did on the page. To test the different paste options, we copied a chunk of hideous-looking text and images from the "World's Worst Website" (/super/badwebs). Now instead of just copying content from a web page and pasting it while hoping it doesn't screw up your document, you can choose to "Keep Source Formatting," "Merge Formatting," or "Keep Text Only." As you roll over each option in the contextual menu, you can see your pasted content change and decide which one works out best. Our favorite backstage views include the Save & Send menu, which carefully explains the pros and cons of each sharing format the Print menu, which automatically shows a large preview of your document and the Info tab that appears when you first click on the File tab, which displays a ton of useful information about your document.Ĭlick to enlargeSince Microsoft acknowledges that many users frequently move text and images between applications by copying and pasting, it has added new paste options. If you want to do something more complex than a simple print/save/open operation, the Backstage view offers an attractive interface that makes it much easier to perform these tasks. For example, if you add a print button to your tabs, it will take you to the Backstage print menu before you can start outputting your document. However, even then most of the buttons will transport you to part of the Backstage view. If you don't use keyboard shortcuts and you really want to avoid Backstage, you can add all the options as custom buttons on the Office ribbon. Of course, power users can avoid the Backstage view by hitting keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + S to save or Ctrl + P to print. While Microsoft touts Backstage as a helpful feature that allows users to discover more of its output options, we found it somewhat annoying to have another screen appear on top of our documents when we wanted to do something as simple as saving or printing with the default options intact. The Backstage menu is essentially a full-screen version of the file menu that appeared as a simple drop-down in Office 2007.
