Office Button

The office button is an essential element of Microsoft Office Suite 2007. This button was introduced in Office 2007 with the new Ribbon feature. When we click on the Office button, it displays some useful options which are used very frequently. Specifically, the Office button provides us options to open, save, print any document, or perform other common functions. Additionally, the office button allows us to configure the preferences or settings of the particular Office product.

The office button is located on the top-left corner of Office 2007 programs, namely Excel, Word, PowerPoint, etc. The button is attached with the ribbon and is identified by a circle containing an Office logo inside it.

• Save As: This option allows us to save a copy of the active file with the desired file name and file extension to a desired location on the computer storage.
