*JUST ADDED!*

What's New in Office 2007? 

Microsoft has a completely new look.  This lecture style seminar discusses
the sweeping changes made to Microsoft's newest office suite: Office 2007.
Topics range from the new look of applications to the transferring and
sharing of files between versions.  

It starts with an introduction to the Microsoft Ribbon; the new interface
that has replaced the common toolbars and menus, and then discusses the
organization structure of familiar commands.  Information will be given on
the individual applications within the Microsoft Office Suite as well.
Participants will learn about the new file formats, the features they
provide, and their impact upon existing files.  Also discussed are new
product enhancements, how to transfer files between versions, the necessity
for file conversion, and new ways of sharing files.

This workshop is great for users who are considering or are in the planning
stages of migrating to Vista, or would simply like information on what the
newest Office suite of applications has to offer even if they're not quite
ready to tackle Vista.  Two sessions to choose from! 9:00- 12:00 or 1:00-
3:00. 

Date and Location: Sept. 27th: SEO Library Center, Caldwell

Cost: $30. Free to libraries with SERLS, NEO-RLS, NORWELD or SWON
membership.
