Office 2007: No Training Required (well, almost)

  • Article

This Ars Technica article and comments is a great discussion of the new Office 2007 User Interface.  I also found some pretty cool things in this article. 

Like a one page PDF that covers everything a user would want to know about using an Office application with the new UI.

And a nice set of interactive mock-ups of Word 2003, Excel 2003 and PowerPoint 2003 - you click on what you want to do and it shows you how to do the same function in the 2007 UI for each of those applications:

Excel 2003 to 2007 Interactive Command Reference Guide

PowerPoint 2003 to 2007 Interactive Command Reference Guide

And of course Jensen Harris' blog is the authoritative place to learn about the new UI and our motivation behind it.

I'm very excited about this new user interface and think that it is a huge step forward.  What do you think?
