Get acquainted with Microsoft Office: Microsoft Office 2007 and 2010

If you've recently purchased a new PC with Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010, you will have noticed that programs like Word, Excel and PowerPoint look quite a bit different from their previous versions.  The first change you'll notice is the "ribbon" which now appears at the top of your window instead of the menus and toolbars.  Here's some help from Microsoft to help you get up to speed with your new Office software:

 
OFFICE 2007
  • Help - You will need to download the Help tab add-in. This feature no longer includes the animated Office Assistant and the "type a question for help" box has been moved to the Help window and is now called "type words to search for."  Microsoft has also set up blogs and online communities to help you find answers to your Word questions.
