We have been asked recently to hold a class for a company about to move from Office 2003 to Office 2007.
Just when you thought it was safe to try something new, here comes mass confusion. We expect tears, screaming, fist fights, and a number of resignations.
Office 2007 is one of the most advanced office suites to hit the market in a decade. We love it but... and this is a big BUT, you are going to feel stupid the first 20 times you open it...maybe 50.
Now, you may be asking, what's so different?
Everything! The most common shortcut icons are gone (but you can put them back), the menus are now iconized with fewer drop down choices. There are way more clicks to get anything done but there is way more control over what you are doing. And don't get us started on the new amazing features...throw away your Photoshop and Corel!
Initially, you will tell yourself, "%^$*&" and stare at the screen in disbelief. Even the snotty kid with the tattoos and nose piercing in IT won't be able to help you, even your 14-year-old daughter won't be able to help you (as if she would anyway). You are on your own...but now you have us - TeachITnow. We're experts on Office 2007 and are teaching it in class in South Florida right now.
More to come, maybe screenshots and links to our vids on Youtube.
