This seminar is for the person who wants to learn what's new and improved in Word 2007. We will begin by covering the new menu interface called The Ribbon.

The Ribbon

 

You will learn about the Quick Access Toolbar and how to customize it with your own buttons.

We will see how there are changes to the basic look and feel of text that you type in to Word 2007. The font has changed, but there are also slight differences in the paragraph spacing, line spacing, and more. We'll point these out for you.

Changes to Default Text

 

We'll learn about all of the new features on the Office Button, which is the replacement for the File menu. We'll also talk about all of Word's new file formats, including DOCX.

There are a whole ton of new settings on the Options Menu. This is the replacement for Tools > Options. We'll cover all of the important ones.

Microsoft really made some significant changes to the Styles and Themes that are available in Word 2007. They really make it easy to turn your document into a professional-looking publication real quick.

Styles and Themes

 

Headers and Footers have changed, and have some new improvements. We'll see how it's much easier to create great-looking document headers.

Graphics have changed a lot. I'll show you the new improvements with inserting pictures, graphics, clip-art, shapes, and charts.

Graphics and Charts

 

We'll learn about a brand new feature called Building Blocks which includes QuickParts. These are a blast, and they make constructing documents from smaller pieces real easy.

Next, we'll cover a whole ton of smaller subjects that are improvements on previous Word features, or minor new add-ons. This list includes the new Equation Editor, improvements to Spell Check, Views, Zoom, new Page Translation, Research...

Plus there are a lot of extra, small tips and tricks that are thrown in throughout this seminar - like keyboard shortcuts and other timesavers. If you use Word 2007 at all, or you're thinking about upgrading, then this seminar is definitely worth your while. 

This seminar is pretty long (over two hours) but it's broken up into 17 easily managed lessons of about 8 to 15 minutes each. You can site down, watch a lesson, review the material, play with it yourself, and experiment. Do a little bit each day. It's long, but it's comprehensive - you won't miss a single step as I've recorded everything from start to finish. Of course, if you have any questions about whether or not this seminar is for you, please contact me.
