If you’re using Microsoft Office 2007, you may have noticed that the About dialog and version information is now displayed in a new window. This window is located on the File tab of the ribbon. To see this window, open a document that you want to view the version information for. On the File tab, click Info. The About dialog and version information will be displayed in this new window. The About dialog and version information can be helpful if you want to know what changes were made to a document since it was last saved.

So Jeff, this article is for you, but hopefully it will help somebody else as well. This same method should work for all Office applications: Word, Excel, Access, and all the rest.

First click on the Office button in the upper left-hand corner.

Now click the Word Options button in the menu (or Excel options for Excel, etc)

 

Select the Resources tab on the left-hand pane, and then you’ll see “about Microsoft Office Word 2007” in the list.

You can click on the About button to bring up About dialog… and look, I’m running SP1 and didn’t even realize it.

 

You can do the same thing for any Office application.
