Overview: A new look to familiar programs
When you open a 2007 Microsoft
Office system program, you’ll see a lot
that’s familiar. But you’ll also notice a
new look at the top of the window.
Menus and toolbars have been
replaced by the Ribbon, which
contains tabs that you click to get to
commands.
This presentation introduces you to the
Ribbon and other new ways to make
better documents, faster.

The new Office: Made for you

The new Office: Made for you
Yes, there’ s a lot of
change to familiar
Microsoft Office
programs.
But it’s good change.
With the Ribbon, commands and other tools you need
are now exposed and more readily available.

What’s on the Ribbon?
The three parts of the
Ribbon are tabs,
groups, and
commands.

Tabs sit across the top of the Ribbon. Each one
represents core tasks you do in a given program.
Groups are sets of related commands. They remain on
display and readily available, giving you rich visual aids.
Commands are arranged in groups. A command can be
a button, a menu, or a box where you enter information.

What’s on the Ribbon?
How do you get
started?
In Word 2007, for example, that’s the Home tab.
It’s got the commands that people use most commonly
when they write documents: font formatting commands
(Font group), paragraph options (Paragraph group),
and text styles (Styles group).
Begin with the first
tab.

How commands are organized
Commands are
organized by how
they’re used.
Frequently used core commands no longer have to
share space with a range of remotely related commands
on a menu or toolbar.
They’re the ones that get us ed, and so now they’re the
ones most prominently featured.

2007 Office system
More commands, but only when you need them
Commands you use
most are available on
the Ribbon all the
time.
Others appear only
when you need them,
in response to an
action you take.
For example, the Picture Tools in Word appear on the
Ribbon when you insert a picture, and they go away
when you’re done. The Ribbon responds to your action.
So don’t worry if you don’t see all the commands at all
times. Take the first steps, and what you need will
appear.

More options if you need them
Sometimes an arrow,
called the Dialog Box
Launcher, appears in
the lower-right corner
of a group.
This means more
options are available
for the group.

On the Home tab, click the ar row in the Font group.
For example, to get to a less c om monly used font option
in PowerPoint
®
2007:
The Font dialog box opens, with the full selection of font
commands.

Preview before you select
Are you familiar with
the try-undo-try cycle?
You make a change,
it’s not what you want,
and so you undo and
keep trying until you
get what you had in
mind.
Now you can see a live preview of your choice before
you make a selection, which saves you time and gives
you better results.
Animation: Right-click, and click Play.

Put commands on your own toolbar
Do you often use
commands that aren’t
as quickly available as
you’d like?
You can easily add
them to the Quick
Access Toolbar.
Located above the Ribbon when you first start your
Microsoft Office program, the Quick Access Toolbar
puts commands where they’re always vis ible and near
at hand.
