The conference started with the introduction of the two speakers. Followed by an introduction on what the conference would be covering throughout the presentation. The topic I had chosen to listen to was about 10 tips that aided users in using Microsoft office 2007 and adapting to its new features.

The first of the tips was the new ribbon interface which replaced the tool tab in previous versions of office. The new interface is sorted out into categories and makes it much easier to navigate and find what you are looking for. The second tip was that with the new ribbon interface you can preview commands and what they will do before you actually select them for example when you insert a table you can see the table size and layout as you scroll up and down the table sizes and it is projected on your page as a preview. The third tip was that there is a quick access toolbar at the top of the screen where you can put icons you use often like spell check. The fourth tip was that if you hold the alt key down that the ribbon will bring up shortcut keys to different tool and this made it easier for users to navigate and get to tool quickly. The faith tip was that there is a new office icon button that is used for saving, Publishing and Preparing for export. The sixth tip is in outlook they show us the tri pain view and how they can be resized another feature is how you can see a contacts online status when you sending emails and resending so you don't have to keep sending emails to each other you can reply with a instant message instead and carry on with the conversation that way. The seventh tip was about power point and word. When you have a few points you can highlight them and right click and select convert to smart are and there are various ways of displaying the points that you have in a more graphical way. The eighth tip was that you can easily and quickly change you heading and subheading styles in the styles options of the home tab in the rainbow which saves the user time in having all the options just a click away. the ninth tip was about Excel and how you can auto format your data into a graphical table and excel lets you keep your headings plus gives you further filtering options. The tenth tip was that there is the conditional formatting icon that allows you to add graphs and bars to your data like percentages can be represented in bars so it's much easier to see. and you can set colors for certain values and can filter certain colors to make it easier to view for the user.

Towards the end of the conference the speakers explained where we can view more of these tips and where we can ask questions. I found that these tips were well explained and showed features I had no idea existed in office 2007.the speakers were well spoken and easy to understand.they explained and demonstraited there tips very well.
