New in Word 2007 is the mini-toolbar, which provides quick access to common formatting commands. The commands are displayed whenever you hover your mouse over the mini-toolbar.
Some people really like the new toolbar as it can be convenient if you quickly want to format highlighted text. Others however, find it cumbersome and even annoying. If you fit into this latter category, good news! You can easily disable it.

To Disable the Mini-Toolbar
- Click the Microsoft Office button.
- Click Word Options.
- Click Popular in the left column.
- Uncheck the “Show Mini Toolbar on selection” checkbox.
Handouts are printed output of your presentation with 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 or 9 slides on each page that your audience can use for future reference. In the Print dialog box, select the number of slides you want to be included in each page and the order of the slides (horizontal or vertical).
You might want to consider passing out the handouts at the end of your presentation so that the audience is not reading your handouts instead of listening to you!

To Print Slide Handouts
- Click the Microsoft Office button and then click Print from the menu.
- Select Handouts from the Print what: drop-down list.
- Select the number of slides to be printed on each page from the Slides per page: drop down list.
- Select the order of the appearance of the slides on the page (horizontal or vertical).
- Set any additional print options.
- Click OK.
