This book looks at the new version of Microsoft Windows Office.

Where other books concentrate on simplistic descriptions of a technology, In Depth tackles the problems and frustrations that serious users encounter every day, with in-depth solutions, practical advice, and undocumented shortcuts that enhance the users productivity and skills. Summary: This book has been crafted to grow with intermediate to advanced Office users, providing the reference material needed as you move toward Office 2007 proficiency and use of more advanced features. If you buy only one book on Office 2007, Microsoft® Office 2007 In Depth is the only book you need. If you own a copy of Office 2007, you deserve a copy of this book! Although this book is aimed at the Office veteran, the authors' engaging style will appeal to beginners, too. Written in clear, plain English, readers will feel as though they are learning from real humans and not Microsoft clones. Sprinkled with a wry sense of humour and an amazing depth of field, this book most certainly isn't your run-of-the-mill computer book. You should expect plenty of hands-on guidance and deep but accessible reference material. For the first time in a decade, Microsoft has rolled out an all-new user interface. Menus? Gone. Toolbars? Gone. For the core programs in the Office family, you now interact with the program using the Ribbon-an oversize strip of icons and commands, organized into multiple tabs, that takes over the top of each program's interface. If your muscles have memorized Office menus, you'll have to unlearn a lot of old habits for this version.

This book is not intended to be an "Everything you will ever need to know" about Microsoft Word 2007, although in some cases it might be. It is as the name implies a "beginner's guide" to Word 2007. This book has two purposes: First to provide the inexperienced user with a working knowledge of Word 2007, so Word becomes more that just a way to write a letter. The second purpose is to explain the new user interface, the Ribbon. I hope this helps.
