Fix broken Text…, Speed, Online Collaboration, and Letters and Mailings
Fix Broken Text is a very powerful feature but disappears in Word 2010. However, Word 2010 will bring back and recover automatically lost document when we open that document again if the editing document is lost or broken caused by some special aspects, such as power off without saving. The Word 2010 is so powerful that it can protect and restore our document automatically. So we do not need to worry about this powerful feature.
Apart from these lost items, there are still some items disappearing: Speech, Online Collaboration, and Letters and Mailings. By the way, most functions of Letters and Mailings are collected in new Mailings drop down menu in Word 2010.
Customize
This may be the most great different from that in classic menu of Word 2003. Word 2003 supports customizing buttons and toolbars. We are able to create our own buttons or items according to our own needs. However, Word 2010 only supports very easy customization. So this customize items is taken away from Tools menu list in Word 2010.
