Microsoft Office 2007 – Are You Onboard?

16 October 2009 Categories: Announcements

Are you onboard with the new and improved Microsoft Office 2007 yet?

For those who have opened Office 2007 did you find yourself looking for the File Menu and where did they hide the standard and formatting toolbars?   The File Menu is included in the “office button” (yellow circle on the top left) and the toolbars have been replaced with “ribbons”.    Once you get passed the new interface many of the features have remained and several have been greatly enhanced.

A few wonderful upgrades are that a Word document can be saved as a .pdf without having Adobe loaded.   Excel now has 16,000 columns and 1 million rows (improved from 256 columns and 65,536 rows).  Smart-Art Graphics makes a PowerPoint presentation look as if an advertising firm created the slide.  Like color?   You can add a color category to all inbox e-mail messages in Outlook for increased visual identification.

CLI is offering a course in migrating from Office 2003 to 2007.   Basic knowledge of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook is required.   Access knowledge is preferred but not necessary.    Read our outline of the topics below and see what Office has to offer.
