MS Office

What is MS Office 2007?

office Microsoft Office 2007 is a major update to the office suite that includes Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Access, and One Note.  It contains a brand-new look and feel with the addition of the new ribbon.  The ribbon is an area containing a series of tabs.  Each tab has a collection of tools associated with it.  The ribbon is also contextually sensitive which means that the tools can radically change depending on your actions.

Why do I want it?
Microsoft has surveyed thousands of users and has examined their typical day-to-day tasks within office products, and designed the ribbon to accommodate and even anticipate the needs of users. Key benefits include:
  • A more intuitive interface makes hunting for commands a less common pursuit.
  • A useful online system that keeps content current.
  • A massive online searchable database for templates, movies, pictures etc, which are all free to download and use in your project.
  • Changes to documents can be previewed before being applied thereby speeding up the design process.
