Get Faster Access to Common Word Tools and Information

Word 2007 (and 2010) offer ribbons instead of toolbars in an effort to make the program's plentiful features more accessible, but even so it often takes several clicks to find what you want. Well, I have a secret: It's surprisingly easy to have instant access to features like Track Changes right from the status bar at the bottom of the screen. You can also customize what information the status bar shows you, so Word reports exactly what you want to see.

To find out how, check out this exclusive Business Hacks video. In just one minute, we can change the way you use Word forever.
