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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
...Bullets, Multi-Level Lists, Switch
Windows, Thumbnails, Change Case, References Tab, the new
Bibliography feature...
...Downloading Templates from
Office Online, the new Calendar Templates, Mail Merge, Comparing Two
Documents for changes...
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.
