Most alterations are little more than a minor facelift and tummy tuck.
Many of these changes are found in the menus, dialog boxes, and other such features. One new feature in all programs is called the Task Pane. When a program is opened, a panel of choices opens on the right side of the window. Through the Task Pane, the user may open a recently used document, start a new blank document, create a new document from an existing document, open a template or get help. There is also a box to check if you would rather not be annoyed by the Task Pane in the future.
