In previous posts I've already whined about the "removal" (hiding) of the File menu, where the Print... menu has gone, and the replacement of the File -> Page Setup... menu.
Another common task is how to just get your document to print in Landscape mode (wide instead of tall).
In Office 2003 you would do:
File -> Page Setup
(new dialog comes up)
click Landscape radio button
This has also been moved to the new Page Layout button / menu thingy.
Under the Page Layout area, look about 1/4 of the way over, for the "Orientation" icon with the dropdown arrow, it's between "Margins" and "Size". It has the options for Portrait and Landscape you're looking for.
By the way, once you've done this, where did all the formatting and font stuff go!? :-)
No worries, that's back under the "Home" menu button panel thingy.
Of course, if you've ever used a Microsoft product before, you might think it would be under something like "Formatting".
And something called "Home" sounds like a web browser thing, like maybe something that would bring up your home page, or maybe the Microsoft Office support home page, but no, it's where the formatting and copy / cut / paste commands are now located.
Although Office 2007 has some improvements, I am floored by the number stupid changes they've made that confuse anybody who's ever used their products before. Some stunningly bad ideas.
