Any Small Businesses Owner can Appreciate the New Functionalities of Microsoft Office 2007

by Sid Kato

Array Systems Inc. (http://www.arraysystems.com), the number one computer network support and IT outsourcing company in Los Angeles, is currently helping its small business clients integrate the new Microsoft Office 2007 software. The new Microsoft Office suite makes it almost effortless for users to create more professional-looking documents in a shorter amount of time.

The most apparent change is that Microsoft has done away with its old familiar menus and toolbars and has created a new graphical user interface: "The Ribbon." The Ribbon is a special strip of space, located across the top of the window, that is populated with icons and tabs that are conveniently grouped by function. Microsoft wants the Ribbon to be a single place where all functionalities are easily discoverable and reachable. Sid Kato, president of Array Systems, states "The Ribbon has revealed features that I didn't even know existed." Adding clip-art to a word document is now made effortless by simply clicking on the "insert" tab and selecting the clip art icon. The Ribbon is also dynamic in nature: when placing a picture in a word document, there is no need to click on the "view" and "toolbar" menus to find out which small icon to use, the Ribbon automatically provides a list of suitable tools for the task.

The Ribbon isn’t the only improvement to the new Microsoft Office Suite. There's a plethora of new themes and templates to help liven things up for those who are bored with the same redundant power point themes. Office 2007 also stores documents in a new format that is more compact and safe for others to download. There's also a new way of adding artistic flares to graphic images by way of "SmartArt." SmartArt allows users to easily insert graphics that can be easily shifted and edited. One function of SmartArt is that if the text doesn't fit into the graphic, it automatically shrinks the size of the font so that it does.
