- Page 7 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.
- Page 8 What’s on the Ribbon? How do you get started? Begin with the first tab. 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).
- Page 9 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 used, and so now they’re the ones most prominently featured.
- Page 10 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.
- Page 11 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. For example, to get to a less commonly used font option ®...

- Page 28 What about favorite keyboard shortcuts? If you rely on the keyboard more than the mouse, you’ll want to know that the Ribbon design comes with new shortcuts. This change brings two big advantages over previous versions of Office programs: • There are shortcuts for every single button on the Ribbon.
- Page 29 What about favorite keyboard shortcuts? The new shortcuts also have a new name: Key Tips. The picture shows an example of using Key Tips to remove a heading style in Word. Press ALT to make the Key Tips appear. Press H to select the Home tab. Press E to select the Clear Formatting button in the Font group to remove the heading style.
- Page 30 What about favorite keyboard shortcuts? What about the old keyboard shortcuts? Keyboard shortcuts of old that begin with CTRL are still intact, and you can use them as you always have.

- Page 34 What about the new file formats? A bit more about the new format in Word, Excel, and PowerPoint: • For documents, workbooks, and presentations, the default file format now has an “x” on the end, representing the XML format. For example, in Word, a document is now saved by default with the extension .docx, rather than .doc.
- Page 35 Working with files from earlier versions You may be the first in your group to get the 2007 Office system. Or you may work with departments that need to use Office documents saved in an earlier format. Don’t worry, you can still share documents between the 2007 Office system and earlier versions of Office programs.
- Page 36 Working with files from earlier versions Here’s how: • You can open a file created in previous versions of Office programs, from 95 through 2003. Just open the file as usual. – After working with it in the 2007 version, you may want to save the file.
- Page 37 Working with files from earlier versions Here’s how: • Colleagues who have Word, Excel, or PowerPoint versions 2000 through 2003 (and the latest patches and service packs) can open 2007 files. – When they open your document, they will be asked if they want to download a converter that will let them open your document.
- Page 38 What about the new file format in Access? The new file format in Access 2007, .accdb, supports new product features. For example, Access supports the attachment data type—which lets you store documents and files as compressed attachments in your database—and multivalued fields.
- Page 39 What about the new file format in Access? Version compatibility • When you create a new database in Access 2007, the database automatically uses the new .accdb format. – Earlier versions of Access use the .mdb file format. You can open and work with .mdb files in Access 2007, if those files were saved in Access 2003, Access 2002, or Access 2000.
- Page 40 What about the new file format in Access? Version compatibility • When you use Access 2007 to open a database saved in Access 95 or Access 97, Access 2007 offers to upgrade it to the .accdb format. – If you don’t plan to use the database with earlier versions of Access (and you do not use replication or user level security), you should upgrade the database.
