Microsoft Office 2007 Migration Information

The Information Technology Department has begun the deployment of Microsoft Office Enterprise Edition 2007 (Please see the Deployment Plan for details). The user interface in Office 2007 is significantly different from that of Office 2003. (Click here to play a video that demonstrates the changes.) The user interface changes are designed to make working with the Office 2007 programs easier, faster, and more efficient.
