The new document look

It's funny how my documents already look like Word 2007's new default style :) Except that I like serif fonts for my document's text and sans-serif for the headings (find it easier to read on print.)

I'm glad this change in style is being done, because, although I have my templates I use to get similar results, most people simply don't know how to create presentable Word documents... Even though it's as simple as Format > Paragraph.

I'll admit that the meaning of the settings in a lot of dialogs might not obvious for many Word users out there, but I do think that Word should force everyone to take a "Using Styles" tutorial before the first use...

I really look forward to installing the Office Beta to get to test all these new features I keep reading about in your blogs...

To my eyes, that text looks a little too over-antialiased (verging on blurry.) It's much easier to read the Verdana of this blog.

I agree the spacing is a better default for people who will never grapple with styles.

The font itself looks awful, although that may be an artifact of rendering it into a picture. See Francis comment on anti-aliasing. Not only is it definitely blurry, it is thickened and horizontally crowded.

The new fonts and things look shiny and all, but have the math fonts been updated? Has anything been done with the Equation Editor, yet?

The crappy look of the font is likely my fault in creating the screenshots. Sorry for that.

Keith, More news on math/equations later. :-)

This is a blogging comment, but i could no longer post a topic on the blogging topics.

I am using moveable type from sixapart and host my own blog and my own pictures so I have run into a few problems and wanted to know if they had been looked at yet.

1) I upload with FTP so I eed to be able to supply a username and password along with the destination folder for my image uploads to work.

2) When I type html code into the post it is twisting it around a bit. I type this: <img src=”Images/MenuSample.jpg”>
and I get this: <img src=”Images/MenuSample.jpg”&gt in the post if i go online to edit it.

3) I also cannot select the category for my post currently
(assuming this has to do with the blogging software I am using).

Thanks for the help!
