Major Tourist Attraction

Office 2007 Upgrade

Background

A major tourist attraction was upgrading from Microsoft Office 2002 to Microsoft Office 2007.  To minimise the impact to business operations, due to the significant change in the user interface between the two versions, our client required Office 2007 New Features training.

What we did

Odyssey TrainingTM delivered various two hour new feature courses over a period of 12 days.  The courses included:

  • Microsoft Office and Outlook 2007 New Features
  • Microsoft Word 2007 New Features
  • Microsoft Excel 2007 New Features
  • Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 New Features

All participants received cheat sheets at each session, which provided them with the main differences between both versions so they had a reference to use back in the workplace.  In total, Odyssey trained approximately 180 staff.
