Word 2013: Better by Design
Judging by the default setup of Word 2013, it seems that the good folks at Microsoft have never heard the old adage that you only have one chance to make a good first impression. My initial reaction to Word 2013 with its ALL CAPS TABS and glaring white theme was to long for the good ol' days of Word 2010. This proves another well-known adage in technology training: “no matter how much someone complains about something being broken, they will complain even louder when you try to fix it.”
Fortunately, Word possesses all the ingredients needed to make a much more positive first impression. It just takes a little time, planning and finesse to go from 'blah to bling!' Best of all, you'll be creating an environment that allows firm users to focus on getting their work done, supports your best practices and promotes the functionality that users think is important.
