 A Quick and Easy Way to Learn the New Features February 1, 2007

The biggest changes in Office 2007 seem to be the new GUI (Graphical User Interface) which Microsoft calls the Ribbon. This is a complete change from the earlier GUI which we have all come to know and love. The Ribbon organizes the commands into what Microsoft calls contextual tabs. Each tab has a logical grouping of commands. This is not unlike the way you used to click on the Edit or View command and then got a list of commands, but in 2007 there are far more commands that you can reach without having to go to subsidiary menus.
The Ribbon is, of course, the result of many hours of definition, testing before audiences and of course a lot of programming effort. There's the old saying that 'user friendly is programmer difficult.' The ribbon is a common interface that is used in all of the Office applications, so learning about it is mandatory for using Office 2007.
Of course there are an awful lot of new features added to each of the applications. It's easier to get a 'Live Preview' of what you are doing in word. It's easier to do Pivot Tables in Excel, and so on. These applications have been around so long that they are not getting big massive upgrades. I frankly don't know what more they could add.
Of course this is a 'For Dummies' book. This means that the writing is good, the proof reading catches all the mispellings, and there's even a bit of humor.

Now that I'm over 55, I find myself in the position of "must have" a new career outside the home. When I first bought my laptop, I thought there was no way I could learn how to do all the things this computer can do...but when I found the series for "Dummies" on just about everything ! WOW that was the greatest day! This series of books are written in such a way, that they are easy to read, understand, follow as you read through and use the computer at the same time !!! I will be adding more of this series to my personal learning selection and if you're a senior, this is really the way to learn so much more than you ever expected to learn about the computer and may even lead to a greater active experience for working part or ful time, and greatly enhance your volunter qualifications,and oppertunities for the future, I'm so thankful these books are here for me !!! ON another note...we somehow ordered a duplicate, and even though we returned it, the seller stage coach books was kind enough to credit our account and would recommend this seller to anyone!!! Thank You !!!

I don't use microsoft windows often enough to remember how to navigate through all whats available, so this book helps me to find out what I need to do. A little time consuming but the book is always there to guide me when needed. Also I need to get to know the book to locate what I'm looking for. I am glad that I have a copy to help me when I'm stuck. A very well worth while investment.
