What and where is the Microsoft Office Button?

The user interface has been significantly redesigned in the following Microsoft Office system programs: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook (in the composing and reading windows). The Microsoft Office Button replaces the File menu and is located in the upper-left corner of these Microsoft Office programs.

When you click the Microsoft Office Button , you see the same basic commands available in earlier releases of Microsoft Office to open, save, and print your file.

However, in the Office release, more commands are now available, such as Finish and Publish. For example, in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint by pointing to Finish, and then clicking Inspect Document, you can check a file for hidden metadata or personal information.

In Microsoft Office Outlook when you read or create a message, task, contact, or calendar item, you see the new Microsoft Office Button .
