Course Outline

Office 2007 New Features

Description: This course is for Microsoft Office users who are upgrading their software from previous versions of Office to Office 2007. Office 2007 is redesigned with a radical change in user interface. The menus have been eliminated and replaced by "Ribbons" so finding the features you've used in the past can be problematic, resulting in significant lost productivity. Training at the time of conversion is essential to maintaining a productive work environment. Plus you need to learn about the dramatic new improvements in existing features that yield powerful results.

Learn about the new productivity enhancing features in Office 2007. Learn about the new common features for all applications in an overview as well as the new application specific features in Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint. This course is not optimized to provide skill enhancement. Instead, it focuses on teaching the differences between older versions of Office (2000, 2002, 2003) and the new Office 2007 for the existing user. 6 hours
