Moving from Office 2003 to 2007: An Overview
(90 minute special demo for department/groups)


http://techtraining.stanford.edu/office2003-2007.html

Microsoft Office 2007 - the latest version of the Microsoft Office suite - can be a major shock to users familiar with the earlier Office applications. In addition to a number of productivity enhancements, many features were changed, updated, or removed. In particular, an entirely new graphical user interface (the Fluent User Interface, a.k.a. the Ribbon) replaced the Menus and Toolbars from earlier versions.

In this lecture/demo, you'll learn about the new common features across the Office suite with an emphasis on the new features of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
