Microsoft Access 2007, my summary.

Just like Microsoft Excel 2007, Access 2007 also has a new look. It has been included a space called "the ribbon", where are buttons that are used frecuently, they are organized around similar tasks, which allows an easiest access to diferent options.

There are two more changes: the "quick access tool bar" which we can modify by adding elements we desire, this give us a quicker access to them; and the other modification is the "Microsoft office buttom", here we can find the common tasks such as creating a new data base, or opening an old one, saving the present activity and closing the database.

The making of tables, forms, and reports is very easy; with the first ones, we can choose a template, this is faster and saves us some time; the forms and the reports have a tab which only appears when we are working with them, and this tab has especific functions. Also we can previsualize the changes we want to do, without the need to implement this changes.

This version of access has also a new file format, this is becouse of the features included in it. Access 2007 can work with old formats without any problems, but if we want to export a file in old format, we can not use the new features.

About Microsoft Excel 2007

The video shows us the new style of Microsoft Excel 2007. This new style is nicer at first sight, and the new version which has changed from the classic menu to tabs, offers a quicker way to acces the options.
Each tab is described, showing the old and the new elements we can use. On these tabs the options we frequently need are all together, so it's easier to find them while we work.
Some tabs have a little arrow at their right-bottom corner, this means that there are more options than the shown on them; if we click on this arrow, a dialog box will appear and here we'll find these additional options.
Some substantials changes are the way we can modify the margins and the way we can previsualize the page before printing; now we can work in a sheet with the shape of a page so we can know at every moment, what is gonig to be printed.
