The changes and additions to the 2007 Office release may pose a challenge to even skilled users who have worked with programs such as Excel or PowerPoint for years. 2007 Microsoft Office System Inside Out is intended for people who already have a depth of experience working with Microsoft Windows programs and especially Microsoft Office applications. You might be one of the first people at your company to work with the 2007 Office release, or you may be training others (as you train yourself) how to use it. Software developers and consultants who develop and design solutions with Microsoft Office system programs will find information and insights about how they and other users will work with new features. Anyone who wants a book that features both breadth and depth will find this book to their liking.
A difficult fact to face is that the 2007 Office release is too large to document in a single book. In fact, most of this book was compiled from chapters from books that cover applications such as Access or Excel from top to bottom. Each part of this book, together with the supplementary material you’ll find on the book’s CD, provides an overview of a program’s essential fundamentals as well as chapters that deal with more advanced topics in comprehensive detail.
This book also is written for users who think they’ve reached the limit of what they can do in Microsoft Office. One of the goals that Microsoft had in designing the 2007 Office release was to make more features-especially more advanced features-easier to find, use, and apply. Menu commands that were tucked away on submenus or on toolbars that weren’t always visible are now readily apparent, and what these commands do and the effects they provide are clearly demonstrated to everyone who uses them. Finally, this book is designed for people who want to learn how to make the most of working with Microsoft Office applications together, integrating their features while bringing each application’s special purpose to bear on the preparation, analysis, and distribution of documents, presentations, and information.
