Adapting To Office 2007

 Most Office 2007 programs sport a dramatically different interface, as well as new file formats. Here are some tips on how to adapt.
Users can download the Office 2007 Compatibility Pack to install over Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003.Microsoft has developed a set of file converters to allow users with older Office versions to open, edit, and save files saved in Office 2007’s new file format. Microsoft has add-ins available to add "save as PDF" functionality directly to Office 2007 programs, as well as a set of file converters to allow users with Office 2003 and earlier to open and save files in the new compressed file formats. That's quite handy instead of upgrading the entire office at once!
The first thing everyone notices about Office 2007 is the new interface. Gone are the traditional File, Edit, View, Tools menus. In their place we have The Ribbon. The ribbon is basically a tabbed set of toolbars. Three rows high, it groups related items like font settings, styles, page setup options, and so on, on tabs named things like Home, Insert, and Page Layout, so users can more easily find them. In addition settings are "live," for instance as one moves up and down the list of font sizes, the words actually change size on the page.
