This section summarizes the feature changes in Office 2010.
HTML editor
- The HTML editor is updated for Windows SharePoint Services, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server, and Microsoft InfoPath. New features include cross-browser support, XHTML support, and a shared editor.
Legacy brightness and contrast
- Da Vinci brightness and contrast algorithms replace legacy algorithms, and are now available through the user interface and Office Manager. Legacy brightness and contrast algorithms are still available for backward compatibility. This is a core architecture change.
- Besides brightness and contrast, other photo editing algorithms and tools are provided through the user interface and Office Manager. With this change, users can receive improved photo editing results. If a photo does not contain 2007 Office system brightness or contrast edits, the visual fidelity of the 2007 Office system brightness and contrast is retained in Office 2010. If a photo does contain 2007 Office system brightness or contrast edits, Office 2010 produces better results because the old effects are converted into new effects.
Language Preferences
- Language Preferences replaces Language Settings and assists users in showcasing language packs and in determining whether the necessary proofing tools or keyboards are enabled. Included are direct links to online locations where users can obtain additional tools. There is also new functionality, such as ScreenTip Language.
Changes in Microsoft Office 2010 - What’s removed
This section provides information about removed features in Office 2010.
Symbol input add-in: East Asia versions of Office 2010
- The special symbol input add-in is removed from Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, and Microsoft Access 2010 in the East Asia versions of Office 2010.
This change includes the language releases shown in the following table.

| Chinese (Traditional) | Hong Kong SAR | zh-hk | 3076 |
| Chinese (Traditional) | Taiwan | zh-tw | 1028 |
This feature is removed because users can easily access this functionality through the similar feature that is available through the Insert Symbol button in the Symbol group under the Insert tab, or through the Input Method Editor (IME).
InterConnect
- InterConnect is removed from Office 2010. InterConnect provided Japanese users with a unique, electronic business card that could be secured and delivered. It was available as a part of Microsoft Office Ultimate, InterConnect retail SKU, and Microsoft Outlook+InterConnect retail SKU.
Office Startup Assistant
- Although turned off by default in 2007 Microsoft Office system, the ability to create a new Office document from the Start menu, or Office Startup Assistant (OSA), is completely removed in Microsoft Office 2010. Users can no longer manually turn on the feature in the Start menu through Office 2010 setup or open a dialog box to create a new document in an Office 2010 application.
- This feature is replaced by the ability to create a new Office document for each Office 2010 application from the Microsoft Office Backstage by clicking New and then creating the document. In addition, the improved functionality is compatible with the 64-bit version of Office 2010.
Office Diagnostics
- Office Diagnostics, also known as Customer Watson, is removed for all Office 2010 applications. Because of shifting resources, the focus must be on analysis and reporting features that have been proven beneficial for other teams. Users must now run the repair utility from the Control Panel.
Document workspaces
The following is removed from Microsoft Word 2010, Microsoft Excel 2010, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, Microsoft OneNote 2010, Microsoft Visio 2010, and Microsoft Outlook 2010.
- The ability to create document workspaces.
- The ability to create shared attachments in Outlook.
- The ability to invoke actions on Microsoft SharePoint Foundation by using the Document Management pane.
- The functionality that enables the local copy of the document to synchronize with the server copy.
Users can no longer access the following in Service Options in the <Application> Option dialog box: Create Document Workspace, Document Information Management, and Document Management. The synchronization functionality is replaced by the implicit cache, which enables users to continue editing within the document workspace even when the document is offline and then automatically sync the changes to Windows SharePoint Services the next time that the document is online. The implicit cache prevents user confusion over which option to use.
MSXML5 support
- Office 2010 does not support MSXML5. Existing solutions will not instantiate MSXML5 objects when they are loaded by Office 2010. Migrate code to MSXML6 or to managed code that uses the .NET Framework.
