Newbie Problems with Word 2007

I am an old Office user. But when it comes to office 2007, I'm sunk. How
do you print from it? I've found the quick print burttom in the upper left
corner.

How do you eliminate the horizontal lines when you do use this button?

How do you change the printer? I don't see it! I;ve got two primters on my
system and it is currently printing on the wrong one.

Where is rhe help menu? I can't find this either.

One of the carefully hidden secrets <g> is that the big round thing in the upper
left corner is _not_ just a decoration -- click it, and it opens something
that's roughly equivalent to the old File menu (it even responds to the Alt+F
shortcut). The Print item, and the others that have triangles next to them, open
fly-out menus when you hover over them. Besides that, the Ctrl+P shortcut also
opens the Print dialog like before. That's where you'd select a printer.

The Help (no menu) is the round blue button with a question mark in the upper
right corner, and F1 still works.

I don't know what you mean by "horizontal lines". Maybe they're actually in the
document. Look in Print Preview (which is on that Print flyout menu). If they're
there, they could be paragraph borders -- see

Jay,

Simply out of curiosity, what does the "<g>" mean in the first line of your
reply? It's probably a dumb question once I know the answer, but.........

Thanks

The icons for cut and copy are identical to those in the toolbar of the prior versions. While you may copy first, you may often
paste the same content more than once from a single copy, and folks do tend to use ctrl+C for copying in other apps as well such as
copying from web pages and copying between apps.

============
It is a really stupid explanation. You have to guess that copy goes with
paste. You do COPY BEFORE PASTE, no? What stupidity to label a HUGE
button PASTE with little nonsensical icons to the right. >>
