Chapitres :

Introduction to Microsoft Office Redesign
The redesign of Microsoft Office aims to make the programs easier to use. While the previous version functioned adequately, the new design enhances accessibility and efficiency for users.
Key Features of the New Design
Several new features have been introduced to streamline tasks: - **Right Click Menu**: Provides quick access to frequently used commands. - **Mini Toolbar**: A handy tool for performing quick tasks, such as indenting bullets. - **Data Chart Buttons**: When a data chart is clicked, buttons appear that allow users to add or remove elements like legends and change the chart's style.
Understanding the Ribbon
The ribbon is a central feature of the new design, organizing commands into tabs and groups for easier navigation: - **Tabs**: Each tab contains related commands. - **Groups**: Commands within each tab are further organized into groups for better accessibility. In the next video, we will explore these tabs and groups in more detail.
Accessing Less Frequently Used Commands
For commands that are used less often, users can access dialog boxes that resemble those from PowerPoint 2003. This familiarity helps ease the transition to the new interface.
File Management and Options
The least frequently used commands are found in the file management section: - **File Operations**: This includes options to open, save, share, and export files. For instance, clicking 'Print' allows users to set up their printer or print presentations. - **Print Preview**: Users can view their print layout directly within this section. - **Options Menu**: Here, users can set general preferences for PowerPoint and customize the ribbon for quicker access to specific commands.
Conclusion
The redesign of Microsoft Office focuses on improving user experience by organizing commands more intuitively. Understanding these new features and how to navigate them will enhance productivity and ease of use.

00:00:07

It worked fine before.

00:00:09

Well the answer is, simply to make the programs easier to use.

00:00:14

Of course you can work any way you want, but the commands

00:00:17

I use most often are right here on the slide.

00:00:21

First there's the right-click menu,

00:00:24

then there's something new called the mini toolbar

00:00:27

which is great for doing quick tasks like indenting a bullet.

00:00:32

There's also this; when you click a data chart, these buttons appear.

00:00:37

With this you can instantly add or remove all kinds of stuff

00:00:41

like the title of the chart or a legend

00:00:45

and with this you can change the style of the chart.

00:00:52

The commands I use fairly often are located on the ribbon.

00:00:56

The ribbon commands are organized into tabs

00:01:03

and tab commands are organized into groups.

00:01:07

We'll look at those in more detail in the next video.

00:01:10

The commands I use less often can be found by clicking one of these little arrows.

00:01:15

They open dialog boxes - look familiar?

00:01:19

Many of them are identical to the ones you used in PowerPoint 2003.

00:01:25

Finally, to get to the commands I use least often,

00:01:28

I go to the backstage.

00:01:30

This is where you open, save, share and export files.

00:01:35

For example, click Print to set up your printer or print your presentation.

00:01:40

And look at this, your print preview is right here.

00:01:45

The options I use even less frequently are here in Options.

00:01:50

This is where you set up general PowerPoint preferences.

00:01:53

Options is also where you come to customize the ribbon,

00:01:56

if there are certain commands you want quicker access to.

00:02:00

So that's basically how things are organized.
