Weekly Computer Tip # 281
31 August 2009

Download Microsoft's free interactive 2003 to 2007 guides (Office 2007)

Adapted from the tip archive; posted 4 January 2008 - http://www.roem.co.uk//tip_216.html

Have you recently upgraded to Office 2007 and are horribly frustrated that you cannot find your favourite commands? (Where on earth did they stick PowerPoint's Insert, Slide From Files command? How do you create a PivotTable in Excel? Or Word's count tool?) Well, simply download Microsoft's free interactive guide and locate your pet buttons and commands even when you're not online!

Here's how:

1. Download the reference guide of your choice (see below) by clicking the Download button.
   Word
   Excel
   PowerPoint
   Outlook
   Access
2. Once installed, launch the reference guide and rest the mouse over a menu or button to learn its new location or click the old command or button for a demonstration.

You can also use the guide any time you're connected to the Internet, as described in tip 26 (http://www.roem.co.uk//tip_216.html) Or ... get trained! Roem Limited has successfully run roll-out programmes and upgrade presentations for a wide variety of companies. While you or your staff spends half a day learning about the new features your IT people can upgrade their computers, so when they get back to their desks they're ready (and raring!) to go.

Until next week.
