Access 2010 - first look

A look at the ribbons and menus in the next version of Access

A look at the ribbons and menus in the next version of PPT.

We’ve already looked at Word 2010, Excel 2010, OneNote 2010 and Outlook 2010 plus the new look Office button menu.

These sneak peeks into the Office 2010 Technical Preview. Nothing is guaranteed but most, if not all, of these changes will be in the released Office 2010.

Click on any image to see a full-size version.


Office menu

When you open Access 2010 you’re taken immediately to the ‘Office menu’ to open a database or make a new one.

As with all the major Office 2010 programs the ‘Office button’ has been shrunk down and the Quick Access Toolbar moved to the left. See our separate article Under the Office 2010 ‘Office’ button.
