Excel 2007 Tutorial
Excel 2007 Tutorial: A Practical Guide is a collection of Excel tutorials devoted specifically to the new Microsoft Office Excel 2007 (aka Excel 12). The purpose of these tutorials is to learn by doing. Unlike traditional tutorials that give very detailed step-by-step procedures, these tutorials are designed to make you think by giving you a task to perform and pointing you to the article(s) in the Excel Help System that will teach you what you need to know to solve the problem. Of course, I'll share some tips and tricks along the way.

Introduction
Before you begin this tutorial, you should be familiar with the Excel 2007 interface and know how to open files, save files, etc. I would suggest taking the free online course, "Introduction to the New Microsoft Office User Interface".
These tutorials work best if you organize the windows on your computer screen so that you can see Excel, this tutorial, and the help window, at the same time. The image below shows an example of how to display the windows on your screen while following a tutorial.
 | Tip If you don't have enough room on your screen to view all the windows, use the Alt+Tab keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows. |
