It's Here! Microsoft Office 2010

Coming to a Computer Near You
The Microsoft Office 10 Suite which includes Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher, and Outlook is replacing Office 2003. If you have only used Office 2003, then you will definitely want to become familiar with the new version! All Office 10 products have an entirely new interface and are quite different from the 2003 version. The main feature includes replacing the “menu” with a tabbed tool bar called “the Ribbon.” Once you have become familiar with it, you will see that it is easier to organize and offers a lot more features such as screen capturing and the ability to convert PowerPoint presentations to movies.
