Microsoft Office 2007 Guides


Please note:  I do not recommend that Office documents (*.doc, *.xlsx etc)  are placed on a VLE for students to download because games consoles and mobile phones and cannot run MS Office and so any students using such platforms to access your learning materials online wont be able to view your Office files.  

For maximum accessibility I strongly recommend you upload your Office files to a site like Google Docs which will then convert them into a 'web friendly' format so that anyone with a web browser can view the file(s) in question. 

Google Docs can also be used by students to generate Office documents, thus saving them form the expense of having to purchase Microsoft Office for their own PCs.



On this page I have put links to Microsoft's own Office 2007 training materials, these are designed to help ease the transition from using Office 2003 to 2007.

Please click on a link to learn more:


Moving from Office 2003 to 2007


The links below go to websites that sites replicate Office 2003 applications.  

When you carry out an Office 2003 action on one of these fake interfaces it will show you how to achieve the same result in Office 2007.


Microsoft Training Guides


The link below will take you to Microsoft's "Getting Started with Office 2007" web page.

This site will introduce each of the major applications that form part of the office suite and provide you with free training and online support in how to use each of them.


Printable "Cheat Sheets"

Custom Guide have released printable PDF guides for many popular applications, inclusing Office 2007 - you can access them all here:


Restoring the Office 2003 menus to Office 2007


When people start using Office 2007 the main problem they have with it is the new 'ribbon' interface.

Fortunately you can bring the old style toolbar back by installing UBitMenu on your machine.
