New to Word 2007

[Guest]

Greetings. I am very familiar with the menus of Wod 2000, XP, and 2003; I
just recently updated to Word 2007. Is there anywhere on the net to get a
source as to find a cheat sheet that tells a user what menu options are where
in Word 2007 (or for all the Office 2007 programs, for that matter)? For
example, I cannot find anywhere where the SELECT ALL and CLEAR options are in
Word 2007. I cannot even find this in the Office Help menu. Thank you.
Ben J.

There's an interactive guide at
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100744321033.aspx -- you click the
command on a picture of Word 2003, and it shows you where the corresponding
command is in 2007. There's also an Excel worksheet with more details at
http://office.microsoft.com/search/redir.aspx?AssetID=HA100625841033&CTT=5&Origin=HA100744321033.
(Unfortunately, neither of these resources describes the changes in the
Options dialog.)

Select All is on the Home menu, in the Editing group, in the Select button.
The Clear > Contents command isn't on the ribbon but can be added to the
Quick Access Toolbar. For both of these, though, the keyboard shortcuts are
so fast and so easy to remember that I wouldn't ever use the menu or the
ribbon: Press Ctrl+A (for "all") and press the Delete key.
