I've just spent the last couple of hours messing about with it, re-doing my CV etc. All I can say is it's simply awesome, It's got a really visual style to it now and the tabs on the top make things much easier rather than having to go through loads of menus.
The way styles work now is great, I lay my CV out in tables to get the right spacing etc and then select the table I want to apply a style to, click the design tab at the top and hover my mouse over the various styles in the toolbar and the table on the page instantly changes to show what it would look like with that style, then I just click on one I like (Word comes with 73 different ones) and it's applied, wonderfully quick and simple compared to ****ing about in dialogue boxes and constantly using the undo button as before.
Also been using OneNote and this program is now by far the most useful thing on my computer now. It has loads of options for different files and sections, you can type or draw literally anywhere on a page in a section, insert images, documents etc. However the most useful element is right-clicking the toolbar icon and selecting screen clip, then you just drag a box anywhere on your screen and whatever is in that box is copied to a note in the program so you can save it, and if there's any text in the screen clip you can search it as well :D
