Technology Tip Number 142
What is Office 2007?

In a previous technology tip (Number 49 - What's so Suite about Office) we explained what programs made up the Microsoft Office Suite and some common uses for each one.  In today's tip we'd like to remind you that software gets upgraded routinely.  Here are some of the different versions of the Microsoft Office Suite you might have heard of:

 

Year

Version of Office
1992 Office 3.0
1994 Office 4.0
1995 Office 95
1997 Office 97
1999 Office 2000
2001 Office XP
2003 Office 2003
2007 Office 2007
2010 Office 2010

The most recent upgrade is the 2010 version.  Here's a link to more information about it:  Microsoft Office 2010 Beta

Each newer version of the Office programs should be able to open files from the previous versions.  But you might have trouble opening newer files in the older versions of the programs.  That's why its important to at least know which version of the software you are working in.  Sometimes you can tell by just looking at the desktop icons.  For example:
  Word PowerPoint Excel
Office 2003 Word 2003 PowerPoint 2003 Excel 2003
Office 2007 Word 2007 PowerPoint 2007 Excel 2007
Office 2010 Word 2010 PowerPoint 2010 eXCEL 2010

Here's a great video from Microsoft about their newest release:

PRACTICE ACTIVITY Check which version of Microsoft Office you are using sometime today.  Usually the name will appear when you start up the program or it may be listed on the icon.
