Office 2007 features a new interface

Office 2007 is quickly becoming the standard for many at UA. While this is not a mandatory install, Information Technology Services would like to reach 100 percent installation. ITS asks that you please install Office 2007 as soon as possible, if you have not yet already.

The new version of the familiar software boasts some distinctive features. Office 2007 has an entirely new user interface that relies on a Ribbon that replaces the menus and toolbars of older versions. Enlarge the Ribbon.  

To learn more about the Office 2007 Ribbon, brown-bag sessions will be offered this month. Faculty and staff can learn about the new software by attending one of these sessions or enrolling in a hands-on training session. Classes include Word, Outlook and Excel.

A helpful Office 2007 Quick Reference Guide can be found here.

More online training and documentation are available on the ITS training Web site, including overviews, tip sheets and step-by-step instructions. Tutorials are also available in Atomic Learning for Office 2007.  These can be accessed through ZipLine.

To install Office 2007, click on "Start" and go to your computer's "Control Panel," select "Run Advertised Programs" and select "Office 2007." Or, simply click on the gold-colored install shield when it appears on your computer screen and select "Office 2007." The installation should take approximately 15 minutes. During the process, it will uninstall Office 2003.

If you have questions about the deployment, contact Herb Matheny. For questions about training, contact Sue McKibben.

If you have questions during the installation process or after you've installed Office 2007, contact the Support Desk at ext. 6888.
