Differences between Word 2000 and Word 2002?

[kimjor]

I have Windows XP installed on my computer and Word 2002. I have the opportunity to take a detailed course on Word 2000. If there much, if any, of a differnce between these 2 versions? If so, what are these differences? I am a home user, and do not require the most advanced features usch as mail merge, etc. I do need good help with templates, style, formatting, etc.
Would appreciate your thought.
Thanks.

Word's features didn't change much between Word 2000 and Word 2002, but the
user interface has changed a good bit. Allowing for some menus being in
different places, some dialogs (notably Page Setup) having things on
different tabs, and some features being accessed in quite different ways
(notably the Word 2002 Mail Merge Wizard vs. the Word 2000 Mail Merge
Helper), I think you would find the course very helpful. *But* you will be
very lucky if the course contains much about styles and templates, since
these are evidently considered "advanced" topics.

In Word 2002, if you insert any type of picture (except clipart ones) to your document, then the clipboard comes up; you will see a list of all the pictures you copied. Whether you copied group of pictures together or just 1 picture, or even picture thats got nothing but scribble on it (they all count as items), you'll be able to see on the clipboard. So you don't get in what you're copying

With Word 2000, you cannot see what pictures you copied. Instead, you have to select each item until you find out the 1 you want to copy, and from then on you can use Ctrl+C or what ever way you like to copy stuff

Another difference is in Word 2000, there's some fonts that Word 2002 doesn't have like Wide Latin & Andy
But in Word 2002, it's a lot easier to create or open up templates or documents, because there's this yellow menu that pops up with all the options like 'Create New Document', 'General Templates' and 'Open Document'. And, it also shows the recent documents & templates that you've opened
And also, the 'style' system has changed. And I think features like 'Index & Tables' don't appear in the view menu. You have to manually out it in yoursel

Thats about as much I know, because I'm also a home user with Word, and also doing a computer course
I hope this helps. Bye
