I have just been given the chance to use the new Word 2007 program. The FIRST thing I noticed was that the default font was a sans-serif looking shape they have termed "Calibri". I have not heard of this "font" before, but I am puzzled as to why they have chosen it over Times New Roman. Probably a discussion of Microsoft products in an Adobe form is inappropriate. But I just wondered if anyone had any information on this. Is it because it looks better on screen (who cares about paper anymore)? Legerdemain I say.
