MUG.ee event in TTU with me showing Word 2007!

It has been quite a long time since I last presented something. It's good to be back , since now, after today's Microsoft Users Group (MUG.ee) Office 2007 event in TTU all the 'rust' is gone.

Since 90% of listeners were students, then my aim was to show how Word 2007 could bring simplicity in everyday's school home assignments. 

I shared my own experience and brought out very specific examples regarding diploma work etc. Based on first feedback that was okay and quite intriguing. So my aim to show material between level 100-200 was very okay.

Little list for those who wanted to participate but couldn't about my Word 2007 demo part:

1. Word UI features (Ribbon itself and it's Word specific features);
2. Format Painter in different situations (double click feature!);
3. Paste function in different situations ('mini' paste button!);
4. Table formatting;
5. Table headers  (eg. header in every new page);
6. Equation Editor possibilities;
7. Microsoft Math (Add-in for Word 2007);
8. Automatic reference list (pictures, table of content);
9. Cover pages (how to define and use own cover pages);
10. Creating new document from existing document (styles, structure);
11. Saving a Style Set in Word 2007 and using it;
12. Document Map;
13. Headers and Footers;
14. Tracking changes;
15. Comparing documents;
16. Combining documents;
17. Document Inspector;
18. Mark final;
19. Saving possibilities.

In my presentation I also referred to interactive Word 2003 to Word 2007 command reference guide:

When you click the link below, the interactive guide will start. Once you're there, rest the mouse pointer over a Word 2003 menu or button to learn its new location in Word 2007. To see an animation of the location of the command or button in Word 2007, just click it.

And for last but not least - I used pre-configured trial Virtual PC machine with Microsoft Office 2007 Professional and Windows Vista:

This VHD contains both the 30 day edition of Windows Vista Enterprise Edition and an evaluation of Office 2007 Professional which includes Publisher, Excel, Outlook, Outlook, PowerPoint, Access, and Word.
