[blindlaw] Word 2010

I haven't found it too different...if you are working a new document, alt+F+A gives "save as", while ctrl+S saves something that is just updating a file already there.  Just tab around to make sure you are in the right folder first, if that is needed.

Subject: [blindlaw] Word 2010

I just got a new computer at work and it's got Windows 7 and Office 2010. It's my first time using both systems (I've been using XP and 2003 for a long time.) I was shocked by the changes in Microsoft Word! When I go to save a document, gone is the nice XP format with the combo box listing the folders. It's now all buttons and I've managed to figure out how to save a document. What's frustrating is let's say I write a document or make a change. I go to exit the document and it asks if I want to save changes. OK, fine and dandy. Then it takes me to a place where OK and help are my options and so I  hit OK. Then it wants to save it under a file called normal and doesn't have the format selected that the document is in. There's all these edit boxes and navigation is frustrating. I'll hit save and then it'll take me back to that OK prompt and I hit that and it goes back to the stuff I just described (normal, the incorrect document selected, etc.) Is there  any way to simplify all this. It's not straightforward to save a document like it was in 2003.
Any tips I can get are very welcome!
