A few days ago, I outlined some changes that had been made to Tools|Options. Today, I wanted to run through how the options were organized for those of you that are curious, and point out one other feature I forgot to mention Monday. Since we already looked at the “Personalize” tab, let’s start with the Formulas tab.
(Click to enlarge)As you can see, the most commonly changed options are available here. (Harlan, I think you made a comment about many of the options on the “Personalize” tab being new – to be clear, it wasn’t just the “Personalize” tab I was talking about,
Office Professional 2007 Key, it was the first several tabs. Sorry, I should have been clearer … you can see that most of the options on the "Formulas" tab are not new.) You can also see that options dealing with multi-threaded calculation are not featured here, since those are items we expect most users never to change. Next,
Microsoft Office 2010 Home And Business, here are “Proofing” and “Save”.

(Click to enlarge)On the “Save” tab, you may have noticed that there is a drop-down in the “AutoRecover exceptions for:”. This is the other feature I forgot to point out earlier this week. We have tried to make it clearer what the “scope” of options are … for example, where an option applies only to a workbook, we make that clear,
Office Pro 2010, and allow users to set the option for any open workbook. Same for worksheets,
Office Pro 2010, etc. For a certain set of users, this has proven to be quite helpful.Next, here is a glued-together image of everything in “Advanced”. Normally you would have to scroll to see all of this, but to make it viewable on the web, I combined the bitmaps in paint.
(Click to enlarge)“Customization” is where you can add, subtract, and remove commands from the “Quick Access Toolbar”.
(Click to enlarge)“Add-Ins” shows you installed add-ins and allows you to manage them, and “Trust Centre” is something I will cover in a later post.

Office Professional Plus 2010 Key, diagnose problems, register things, identify your version, etc.
