To make the user interface of many Microsoft Office system programs easy to use, many of the less commonly used settings for features such as compatibility, editing, printing, and saving have been placed in the Advanced category in the Program Name Options dialog box. If there is a setting that you usually changed in earlier versions of Microsoft Office programs but that you cannot find where you think it should be in the new Program Name Options dialog box, you might find it among the advanced settings.

Note If you upgrade from an earlier version of Microsoft Office to the Microsoft Office system, the settings from the earlier version are kept.

  1. Click the Microsoft Office Button button image, and then click Program Name Options.
  2. Click Advanced.
  3. Look for the setting on the Advanced category. The settings are organized by feature category.
