Microsoft Excel 2007 have redesigned to be simple and more efficient.

Like all the new versions in the computer science field, it has new features, like tabs. A wider place in the top for tabs. All you need, everything you use more often is in this wide place for the tabs.

Home tab, with the format text and tables. Another one for Insert, to insert things... photographies, columns, lines, charts, hyperlink...

Page layout tab: get your excel document ready for printing. Here you have got all printing options like margins, orientation, print area...

Formulas tab... what are this functions going to do?

A data tab, to get external data into excel, to filter, to convert text to columns, to do data validations...

Review tab: add comments, protect your workbook or share it.

And finally the view tab. Is this for changing your excel view? I think... yes. How your excel is shown on your computer.

The sheet view is a little bit different. You can scroll to see other pages (at right and down), there are margins (with page layout view you see what is going to be printed), you can add header and footer (like Word), and a tab appears when you are working your header (only when you are working it, if not, it disappears).

If you select a row, you can easily change the style of the whole row with only pushing a button. There are several made styles, or you can do it too. The same for titles and headings.

The usual menu, have been changed for a little button with the office draw. Here are the new, open and save options (common options) and new ones, like prepare, send or publish.

These are the new options I think are more interesting after seeing the demo video at class.

Everything is faster with this new Excel, you've got everything where you can see it and use it.

Now I've got to explain that I'm a MacOs user, and that I hate, not at all, Windows, but this a job I've got to do!

Enjoy pink elephants!!!
