New to Microsoft Word 2010? Find your favorite commands from earlier versions of Word with these charts. These charts accompany our story Word 2010 cheat sheet. Click through to that story for detailed information on getting up and running with Word 2010. If you’ve upgraded to Word 2010 directly from Word 2003, you’ll probably have difficulty finding some of your favorite menu commands in the new Ribbon interface. Even Word 2007 users might have trouble finding one or two things in Word 2010. These quick reference charts can help. We list the most commonly used Word 2003 commands and tell you where they are in both Word 2007 and Word 2010. They’re listed here according to the menu on which they’re found in Word 2003. We’ve also included keyboard shortcuts for all the commands. Most of them are the same in all three versions of Word; we’ve noted where they differ. For a full listing of every menu and submenu item, see Microsoft’s Office 2010 website.
