Good morning everyone,
Our staff and students are getting used to Office 2007, thanks to our district-wide rollout this year, and I have to say it seems to be going well. Both staff and students are adjusting to the new interface without much difficulty, but, as almost everyone who has used the new software will attest, there are still times when you NEED to find a particular command and just CAN’T.
