Course Overview
MS Office has developed a new user interface for version 2007. It was created to make these applications simpler to use. The menus and toolbars from prior versions are gone! This intensive half-day transition workshop is targeted to students who have used previous versions of Word and will be upgrading to Word 2007. Topics include navigating within the new user interface: the Office Button, Quick Access Toolbar, Mini Toolbar, using the Ribbon, Dialog Box Launcher and Key Tip badges. Word 2007 saves your files with the new file format docx; compatibility mode and document conversion issues discussed. Students will gain hands on experience using many of the new features in Word: Live Preview, Quick Styles, Galleries, Document Themes, Smart Art, Building Blocks, Contextual Spelling and the new charting and diagramming features.
