  6m 46s
  If you have just migrated from Word 2003 to Word 2010, the first thing that you will notice is the new interface, which has changed dramatically. There's no need to panic, though, because all the tools you know and love can are still there. All you need are a few minutes to get used to the new interface design and organization. FREE ACCESS
• 2.  Using the new document format in Word 2010 for Windows
  7m 6s
  Word 2010 uses a new default document format: DOCX. This allows you to take advantage of the newest tools and features available in Word 2010. The two formats - DOC and DOCX - can, however, be opened in both Word 2003 and Word 2010. Word 2010 can be used to convert your existing files into DOCX format, or - if you want to guarantee backwards-compatibility and easy sharing with earlier versions of Word - it can save your documents in DOC format. Just be aware that in some cases this will result in fidelity loss (for certain document elements) or changes being made to your document's page layout. FREE ACCESS
• 3.  Publishing your document in Word 2010 for Windows
  5m 45s
  There are a number of different ways of sharing and publishing your document in Word 2010. Just like in Word 2003, you can save your document as a PDF, which is very useful if you want to protect your document from unwanted modification or are unsure of which application users might use to open it. Word 2010 lets you not only convert your document into PDF but will also attach it to a new email automatically. You can even publish new documents on your blog without having to leave the Word 2010 interface. FREE ACCESS

With these tools, you can really customize your document and give it a professional and attractive look. FREE ACCESS
