Dear College of Education user,
As you may have heard, Microsoft Office 2007 has been released as a replacement for Office 2003 (for Windows PC users). Many students , along with Purdue home computer users in general, have adopted Office 2007 in recent months. The Purdue ITaP / TLT and COE computer labs have already upgraded to Office 2007. Office 2007 is available at no additional cost to Purdue departments under the Purdue Microsoft Campus Agreement.
Your computer may have been recently been upgraded to Office 2007. All documents created in Office 2003 will work with Office 2007. As noted in an earlier email message, Microsoft has released the Office 2007 “Compatibility Pack” which will enable Office 2003 users to open most documents created in Office 2007.
The Office 2007 interface is quite different from Office 2003 so you might want to obtain some training before you jump in with Office 2007.
TRAINING OPTIONS
There are several training options that we would like to recommend (the first two being the most important initially):
i. “Teach Yourself VISUALLY Microsoft Office 2007”
ii. “Using Microsoft Office”
iii. “Office 2007 All-in-One Desk Reference For Dummies”
