2.  From Microsoft.com: “In Word 2007, you can spend more time writing and less time formatting. The new, results-oriented Office Fluent user interface presents tools to users when they need them, in a clear, organized fashion.

18.  Office OneNote 2007 is a digital notebook that provides people one place to gather their notes and information, powerful search to find what they are looking for quickly, and easy-to-use shared notebooks so that they can manage information overload and work together more effectively. (from Microsoft)  Demonstration 18

19.  With Office InfoPath 2007, you can create and deploy electronic forms solutions to gather information efficiently and reliably. (from Microsoft)  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath/HA101656341033.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath/HA101656341033.aspx  Demonstration 19

Yes, if saved in Office 2003 format or earlier. If saved as 2007 files, users will need to upgrade to the current version of Documents To Go (v10) which supports viewing of Word 2007 and Excel 2007 files.  Will it work with PS queries that use Excel? Yes, it appears that PS will work with Office 2007. 21

22.  On your NAL, in the SCE Upgrades folder: The MSO2007 Pre- cache icon will show if you did not receive the silent install next week. You will not see the MSO2007 Installer icon until the PreCache is completed. Therefore if you see the MSO2007 Installer icon, you should be good to go and can initiate the install. If you see the Precache icon, click on that and allow that to install and wait a while, refresh your NAL, and you should see the Installer icon appear and you will be ready to install then.  ABBYY PDF transformer software can be purchased here: http://www.pdftransformer.com/ http://www.pdftransformer.com/ 22

23.  To save a document as Final: If Track Changes has been enabled, you are able to individually select changes and right click to Accept or Reject or you can broadly accept all changes. Once you are through the whole document, click on the Accept icon --> Accept all Changes in the Document. This appears to delete all traces of changes, even if you ask for Markups to be shown. In addition, you do have the option of then saving the document as a Final--Read only document from the Office Button --> Prepare --> Mark as Final. This will prevent others from changing any contents of the document. 23

24.  To compress pictures and discard cropped areas of pictures: Select the picture in your document --> the Picture Toolbar Contextual Tab should appear. Under the Adjust task --> click Compress Pictures--> in the resulting box, click Options --> under Compression options you should choose to 'Automatically perform basic compression on save' and 'Delete cropped areas of pictures' (no wonder I couldn't find it...it's buried!). Also, see this Microsoft article about other options for compressing pictures and reducing file size: http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/word/HA101922001033.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/word/HA101922001033.aspx 24

25.  Poster size? In Word, the highest custom size I could get to was 22" square. To change size, go to the Page Layout Tab and click on Size.  In PowerPoint, it seems like 56" is the limit. To change size, go to the Design Tab, click on Page Setup.  In Publisher, there are many more options for sizes. Publisher seems to allow page sizes up to 240". To change sizes, go to Format --> Publication --> Change Page Size  In Word 2007, when you click on Home and New, you are given a bunch of template options similar to Publisher. It really blurs the lines between Word and Publisher. 25
