 * In my opinion (for every sentence which follows): this non-free image is not "a screenshot" (singular). It is described by the uploader as a "combination of screenshots" (8 of them). It is laid out so as to be able to fight WP:NFCC minimalization on the grounds of "can't see or read anything if reduced" below 1280x1200, which exceeds NFCC smallest-possible-usable-size mandates by between 10x and 15x pixels. It does not meet Microsoft's definition of "a screenshot", (Non-free Microsoft screenshot and links) or meet Microsoft's prohibition against "combining" or "modifying" screenshots. It does not meet our definition of "a screenshot" (singular) either. If the various components of Office are important enough to be shown visually with accompanying discussion, they should be separate screenshots. Note: it is conceivable that users of Office on very large screens, or on 2-screen or 3-screen systems could lay out several simultaneous side-by-side windows and take a screenshot, but this is not a true example of that. IMHO it is visual WP:SYNTH, which, though RS sometimes do it, we typically do not. It is replaceable by a small number of much smaller non-free screenshots which comply with Microsoft's and our policies and guidelines, to communicate the same information. If this has been discussed elsewhere, point me there. Lexein (talk) 19:24, 6 December 2012 (UTC) Removed --Lexein (talk) 20:35, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
