File Formats
One of the major differences in Office 07 is that the file extensions include the letter 'x' at the end, such as .docx instead of .doc for document. Any document created and saved in Office 07 will only open in Office 07 unless you do one of two things.
 * 1) Install the Office converter pack on every non-Office 07 computer so that it will convert the .docx to .doc (this has already been done by the Tech Team)
 * 2) When you save the document, select Save As and change the Save As Type dropdown to Word 97-2003 Document. This will allow legacy versions of Word to open the document

Another interesting item in the Save As Type is that you can now save as pdf document. You no longer have to install a third party software like cutepdf or acrobat to convert to pdf. It is not part of the save features. Note: You may want to save as .doc or .docx before saving as .pdf, so you can edit down the road, if need be.

Equations
Equations are totally cool and easy in Word 07! Select the Insert tab on the Ribbon, then select Equations There are several premade equations you can choose from, or if you want to create your own equation, select the Insert New Equation option at the bottom of the window, and the Equation Tools menu appears with all of the needed Symbols and Structures. Click the symbol and it adds it to the equation box. Click the Structure and you can customize for your equation.

The equation box has a dropdown arrow that you can select, and this is where you can save this equation if it is one that you plan to use again and often. What a time-saver!
