Word Mobile 2010 for Windows Phone 7

If you have Windows Phone 7, you can use Microsoft Office Mobile 2010 to work with your files from anywhere—whether you’re at work, at home, or on the go. Word Mobile 2010 is part of Office Mobile and already on your Windows Phone 7 in the Office hub, so you don’t need to download or install anything else to get started.

You can use Word Mobile to view and edit documents stored on your phone, sent to you as email attachments, or hosted on a SharePoint 2010 site through SharePoint Workspace Mobile 2010. When you edit a document via SharePoint Workspace Mobile, you can save your changes back to the SharePoint site when you’re online.

With Word Mobile, you can create or update your documents using many of the same formatting tools that you already know and use in the desktop version of Word, add comments, and use the new outline pane to quickly jump to a heading or comment.

Word Web application

Even when you’re away from Word, you can store your documents on a Web server and use the Word Web application to open the document in your browser. You’ll be able to view it and even make changes.

Format text and images together for a seamless look

Word 2010 provides artistic effects for both pictures and text. And when you apply the effects to text, you can still run spell check.

1. Plain picture and text formatting

2. Picture and text with shadow formatting

Fine-tune your text with OpenType features

Word 2010 provides support for advanced text-formatting features that include a range of ligature settings and your choice of stylistic sets and number forms. You can use these new features with many OpenType fonts to achieve that extra level of typographical polish.

1. Plain text

2. Text with ligatures applied

For more information, see OpenType options in the Font dialog box.

Other new content features

Word 2010 offers several other improvements to help you in your document authoring.

Find your way through long documents with the new Document Navigation pane and Search

In Word 2010, you can quickly find your way around long documents. You can easily reorganize your documents by dragging and dropping headings instead of copying and pasting. And you can find content by using incremental search, so you do not need to know exactly what you are searching for to find it.

In Word 2010 you can do the following:

• Move between headings in your document by clicking on the parts of the document map.

• Collapse levels of the outline to hide nested headings, so you can work easily with the map even in deeply structured and complicated long documents.

• Type text into the search box to find your place instantly.

• Drag and drop headings within your document to rearrange the structure. You can also delete, cut, or copy headings and their content.

• Easily promote or demote a given heading, or a heading and all of its nested headings, up or down within the hierarchy.

• Add new headings to your document to build a basic outline or insert new headings without having to scroll around in the document.

• Stay aware of the content being edited by others by browsing the headings that contain a co-authoring indicator.

• See thumbnails of all the pages in your document and click on them to move through your document.

Illustrate your ideas

Word 2010 brings many graphic enhancements to your work, so you can easily make the impact you want.

Clip art options with Clip Organizer

You can now use, submit, and find thousands of new pieces of community clip art, in addition to the images, videos, and other media you can add to your document. You can see who submitted pieces of community-submitted clip art and report if the images are inappropriate or unsafe.

Ink

The improved inking feature in Word 2010 lets you make ink annotations on your document on your Tablet PC and save those ink annotations together with the document.

Customize the Ribbon

You can use customizations to personalize the Ribbon, which is part of the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface, to be the way that you want it. You can create custom tabs and custom groups that contain the commands you use most frequently.

The Microsoft Office Backstage view

In the Microsoft Office Backstage view, you do everything to a file that you do not do in the file. The latest innovation in the Microsoft Office Fluent user interface and a companion feature to the Ribbon, the Backstage view is where you manage your files — creating, saving, inspecting for hidden metadata or personal information and setting options.

Office Labs Search Commands

Recover unsaved work

It is now easier to recover a Word document if you close your file without saving, or if you want to review or return to an earlier version of the file you’re already working in. As with earlier versions of Word, enabling AutoRecover will save versions while you are working in your file at the interval you select.

Now, you can keep the last autosaved version of a file in case you accidentally close that file without saving, so that you can easily restore it the next time that you open the file. Also, while you are working in your file, you can access a list of the autosaved files from the Microsoft Office Backstage view.

Point to text to see a translation

When you turn on the Mini Translator, you can point to a word or selected phrase with your mouse and see a translation in a small window. The Mini Translator also includes a Play button so you can hear an audio pronunciation of the word or phrase and a Copy button so you can paste the translation into another document.

You don’t even need the language pack, language interface pack, or proofing tools installed on your computer to see a translation in that language.

For more information, see See translations with the Mini Translator.

Simplified language preference setting

Multilingual users can easily access a single dialog box where you can add languages and set the display, ScreenTip, and Help languages. If you don’t have the software or keyboard layout installed that you need, you are alerted and links are provided to make it easier to solve the problem.

For more information, see Add a language or set language preferences in Office.

Work on the same document at the same time

In Word 2010, you can work together right within Word. You do not have to send with e-mail attachments or save draft documents with names such as TSP_final_2_FINAL.docx. Instead, just open your document, and start to work. You can see who else is working with you, and where they are editing.

When you open a shared document, Word automatically caches it so that you can make changes to it offline, and then Word automatically syncs your changes when you come back online. When you must work away from the office, you no longer have to worry about saving local copies or manually merging your changes into the server document when you return to your office.

Multiple authors can edit a single document at the same time and stay in sync with each others’ changes. Authors can block access to document regions while they are working on them.

Stay safer with Protected View

In Protected View, files are opened with editing functions disabled. Files from a potentially unsafe location, such as the Internet or an e-mail attachment, or that contain active content, such as macros, data connections, or ActiveX controls, are validated and can open in Protected View. Files from trusted sources can be enabled by clicking Enable Editing, or data about the file can be explored in the Microsoft Office Backstage view.

Find and remove hidden metadata and personal information in files

Before you share your document with other people, you can use the Document Inspector to check the document for hidden metadata, personal information, or content that might be stored in the document.

The Document Inspector can find and remove information such as the following:

• Comments

• Versions

• Tracked changes

• Ink annotations

• Hidden text

• Document properties

• Custom XML data

• Information in headers and footers

The Document Inspector can help you ensure that the documents you share with other people do not contain any hidden personal information or any hidden content that your organization might not want distributed. Additionally, your organization can customize the Document Inspector to add checks for additional types of hidden content.

Help prevent changes to a final version of a document

Before you share a final version of a document, you can use the Mark As Final command to make the document read-only and let other people know that you are sharing a final version of the document. When a document is marked as final, typing editing commands, and proofing marks are disabled, and people who view the document cannot unintentionally change the document.

The Mark As Final command is not a security feature. Anyone can edit a document that is marked as final by turning off the Mark As Final feature.

Accessibility Checker

Accessibility Checker helps identify and resolve accessibility issues in your documents, so that you can fix any potential problems that might keep someone with a disability from accessing your content.

If your document has any accessibility issues, the Microsoft Office Backstage view displays an alert that lets you review and repair any issues in your document, if necessary. You can see the alert by clicking the File tab. Under Prepare for Sharing, click Check for Issues, and then click Check Accessibility.
