Upgrading to Office 2007? These Tips Make the Switch Easier Tip #1 : Microsoft's Interactive Reference Guide: Click on the Help Question Mark in the top right corner of Word, PowerPoint or Excel 2007. Then, type in the word " Interactive " in the Search box. For example, click on Interactive: Word 2003 to Word 2007 command reference guide . Click on the "Start the Guide" Play arrow, then click the big orange START button. Then, click on any menu command in Word 2003, such as Tools>>Macro>>Macros (for instance). Immediately, it takes you through the Word 2007 equivalent. You can review this series of menu steps as many times as you want, and as many different menu combinations as you want. It helped me make the conversion to 2007 very easily. I just reviewed the menu commands that I use most often, and it assured me that they are all available in the new version, albeit in different places than before.
