This was pretty much impossible to find otherwise. Something so simple, made so inobvious. I hate the ribbon bar-- it is not more intuitive. It is more cumbersome. Clearly 1 step forward, 2 or more steps back. Thanks for posting this info. This was pretty much impossible to find otherwise. Something so simple, made so inobvious.

The About dialog was moved to a totally nondiscoverable place in Word 2007... I guessed my way to Word Options, but didn't guess "Resources". I never thought of the About box as an option or a resource. 2. The most reliable way to find where it moved to was to Google "Word 2007 about dialog" which took me to this page. The built-in "Help" feature of Word (which I rarely use, but found with the blue '?' icon) was totally useless. I could not find a set of search terms that would even include the right answer among the top 25 potential answers. I'm not sure how the relevancy ranking is supposed to work but it is totally broken. It was actually faster to switch over to the Mac, boot up Firefox, and Google for the answer than it was to even launch the built-in Help dialog and perform the search there from within Word. And the former has the distinct advantage of producing a useful answer. Just as I suspected-
