How to find the "Tools Option" in an Office 2007 Word document.

Please give me the steps to find the "Tools" option in the "Ribbon" of a MS
Office Pro 2007 Word document.

Supposedly, the sequence is Office Button/File/Save As/Tools/ but I cannot
"find" Tools. I would like to display and use "Tools" more easily.

I am sure that the answer is easy and staring me right in the face but I do
not see it.

Thank you,

Hi Hanover,

Office Button=>Word Options (bottom of the list) or the shortcut keys from Word 2003 for Tools=>Options (Alt, T, O) will get you to
Word options in 2007.

Other 'tools' have been relocated to differing tabs on the ribbon, but most of the old menu keyboard shortcuts still work.
Alt T, I (Templates and Add-ins) Alt, T, A (Autocorrect options) for example. You'll find interactive guides and spreadsheet
'maps' of the was/is of the 2003 vs 2007 command locations at

Hi hanover,

While Bob is correct about what used to be on the Tools menu in previous
versions, that isn't what you asked about.

When you click Office Button/File/Save As, and the Save As dialog appears on the
screen, look in the bottom left corner of the dialog. Clicking that button
displays a menu of "tools" related specifically to saving files. This is not
available on the ribbon and can't be placed on the Quick Access Toolbar.

Jay:

I appreciate you taking the time to be helpful.

I have printed your comments and will apply them tomorrow as my wife has
called me to dinner.

Thanks again.

Go New England Patriots!
