I checked out some new features of Word 2010, some really are incredible! Check out my top 4 below:

1. Artistic Effects

Fantastic new artistic effects have been added in Word 2010! Select the image and click on “Artistic Effects” from the ribbon. You get a bunch of options like Pencil Sketch, Chalk Sketch, Glowy Edges, Photocopy etc

2. Integration of Screenshot feature in Word

Enough use of the snipping tool or print screen buttons! Now you can take screenshots directly from the Word document you are working on.

The option of screenshot is in the ribbon at the top of your document. When you click screenshot you automatically get few screenshot samples from the background (that is at the back of the the word document). You can either select from the available screenshots or click on “Screen clipping” to take the screenshot yourself.

If you select “Screen Clipping”, your word document will get minimized and a resizable window will appear over your background.

Like I had a site opened at the back of my word document-so my document minimized and the screen appeared as follows:

I adjusted the border and instantly got the screenshot (that is the area inside the border) pasted to my document as below:

3. Remove background of Images

t’s a Photoshop like feature-not as effective though-yet its a great help. With it you can directly remove the background of any picture. It is really good for simple backgrounds while a little untidy and time consuming for the complex ones.

Select the picture then click on “Format”:

Click on “Background Removal”:

The area with purple color as highlighted below will be erased and the one with the original color will stay:

Simply drag the area you want:

Voila! Background removed!

4. New Art Effects in WordArt

WordArt has been updated with new colorful art effects. Select the text, click “Word Art” and a list of options will appear. You can see how your text will appear when you hover the mouse over the option-which is the best part:

Thanks for for the review of the new Word. :hi:

I'm having a presentation about Office 2010 as a lecturer in Summer School of Informatics in my city.

This might come in handy. ;)
