When reading through the first chapters of A Guide to Microsoft Office 2007 I realized that I'm pretty well versed in the basics. This is my first experience working with the 2007 version but it's all basically the same. The 2007 version is actually just easier to use. For example, I always knew about the "find" and "replace" function but could never find it, but now it is conveniently located in the home ribbon.
I feel that any student of the 21 century is well acquainted with almost everything these three chapters discuss. I have never had anyone of my fellow classmates ask me, "How do I save/print/type/open a document?" For us, it's like breathing, it's just second nature. Sections such as using the "world wide web" seemed so elementary and laughable to me. We can all use the world wide web we can even probably tell you the color of your car by using "Google World"". Most students have written many essays using the MLA format so we can indent our paragraphs, add footnotes, write a bibliography, and find the print preview command.
I'm not saying though that I am a self proclaimed Microsoft God, even I have to admit that there are somethings I just don't understand. Something always seems to go wrong when I try to attach a document to an e-mail and I'm sure that's just user error. I'm also curious about the new 'research' button located in Review ribbon. I have never used a template before and wouldn't really know where to start when creating one. Additionally, I don't always have the best luck when creating a hyper-link or html file.
In conclusion, there are things I still need help on but I feel confident when navigating through Microsoft Office.
