Summary:

If you own a copy of Office 2007, you deserve a copy of this book! Although this book is aimed at the Office veteran, the authors? engaging style will appeal to beginners, too. Written in clear, plain English, readers will feel as though they are learning from real humans and not Microsoft clones. Sprinkled with a wry sense of humour and an amazing depth of field, this book most certainly isn?t your run-of-the-mill computer book. You should expect plenty of hands-on guidance and deep but accessible reference material.

For the first time in a decade, Microsoft has rolled out an all-new user interface. Menus? Gone. Toolbars? Gone. For the core programs in the Office family, you now interact with the program using the Ribbon?an oversize strip of icons and commands, organized into multiple tabs, that takes over the top of each program?s interface. If your muscles have memorized Office menus, you?ll have to unlearn a lot of old habits for this version.
