2007 in 2009

Office 2007 is now being used by many staff in the District. It is a good thing.....really. Once you start using the different programs, I know you will like some of the new features. Here is an excellent website (thanks Jeremy) called "First Steps" http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/products/FX102704851033.aspx that lets you start from scratch! Give it a try and send me your feedback!

Getting started with Office 2007

Some of you may have jumped right in to the new Office 2007 program. Maybe it was loaded on your new computer and everything just looked different when you started up you e-mail or typed a new Word document. Don't despair, once you forget about where a certain command is and on what toolbar, you'll be fine. The RIBBON holds the key in Office 2007.

There are excellent tutorials that you can find from the Resources column (left side) that will help to get you started. I guarantee once you start to work in the new and improved program, you will create great looking documents. Change is sometimes a good thing!
