Moving to Office 2007
Several months ago we gave you some tips for reading Office 2007 documents and files using your current version of Office. While we have not released the 2007 version on campus, many of you have purchased machines for home that come with Office 2007 pre-installed. You will notice immediately that the user interface has been changed and the menus and dialog that you have been accustomed to are no longer available — and there is no option for reverting back to the previous interface. Rick and I will continue to offer workshops throughout the semesters updating you on tips and trick for working in this new environment. Keep your eyes open for the Thursday IT Newsletters or subscribe to our blogs for more information.
Interactive Word 2007 Command Reference Guide
Microsoft has released an interactive guide that will help you find the commands and tools you have grown to know and love with previous versions. You can access the guide by clicking the link above or by search help topics for “Interactive Keyboard Guide” into any Office 2007 application.
Once the guide has started, rest the mouse pointer over a Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2003 menu or button to learn its new location in Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2007. To see an animation of the location of the command or button in Word/Excel/PowerPoint 2007, just click it.
