Word 95 introduced linguistic technology to understand the meaning of words and their different forms. For example, if a user wants to replace the word “saw” with the word “hammer” throughout a document, Word intelligently changes not only “saw” to “hammer”, but also “sawing” to “hammering” and “sawed” to “hammered.” And, Word is smart about only replacing the right word forms - in this example, Word would not replace the verb “seen” although it is a word form of “saw” since “seen” is unrelated to “hammer”. Word 97 provides you with alternative word forms, giving you choices for possible replacements in case its default choice is not ideal - Word lets you pick from a dropdown and eliminates the need for you to identify and type the replacement.
Word 97 incorporates sound and animation into the UI to provide better, more tactile feedback to the user. A common set of sounds and animated cursors will be used across all Office applications to give more information about the state of the application.
Word 97 updates its dialogs to better support the look and feel of Windows 95 and to enhance consistency with other Office applications. Major changes include a new dialog font, proportional tabs, etched separator lines and sentence style capitalization.
