One of the biggest challenges you will have in
transitioning to Word 2007 is being able to find your favorite Word
2003 commands in a completely different way and in completely
different places.
This visual, interactive reference guide helps
you find your favorite Microsoft Office Word 2003 commands in the
new 2007 interface. You will see the familiar Word 2003 screen; and
when you rest the mouse pointer over a Word 2003 menu or button, you
will see screen tips to help you learn about the new location in
Word 2007. When you click the command, you will see an animation of
the location of the command or button in Word 2007. You can access
the guide online or download and install it on your own computer for
easy, reliable access.
One of the easiest ways to get help in Word
2007 is to point to a command on the Ribbon, and read the screen tip
for more information. If you see the message “Press F1 for more
help.” at the bottom of the screen tip, continue to rest the pointer
on the command and press F1 to get more information.

One of the best ways to learn about common
questions or, even better, some of the more advanced features of
Word is to browse the discussion groups. Try posting a question and
you will see how responsive the users of this group can be. Expand
the menus as follows to drill down to the Word group: English,
Office and Desktop Applications, Word. From that
point, Word New Users might be a good starting point. Use the
“Search for” box to type in keywords and you’ll be amazed at the
treasures you find. |
