Word 2007 Learning Curve
JMB
I can relate to your frustrations. And I can offer you this piece of advice. Everything takes time. Unfortunately, when it come to computers everything is an exact science. There's always an answer for some issue or concern. Your prior experience will help you digest new stuff. It may not always work the same way. But at least you've got a sort-of head start. You know something about the language being used, so you might have some insight on how to proceed or what to look for in an answer. Look, I am also dealing with a learning curve too. And I just can't believe how much information there is to learn and comprehend. However, here's something I find helpful. When things really start to "burn your brain" take a break! Get away from it all. Come back later. You'll be refreshed and feel better. I used to teach in the computer field a few years ago. And you don't lose stuff you've learnt in the past. It just helps you learn new stuff in the future. Be patient with yourself. You'll figure it out. It just takes time.

Now I have a new computer with Vista and Office 2007. And I essentially find myself facing this predicament of going up an enormously steep learning curve, i.e. relearning how to wordprocess and spreadsheet almost from scratch all over again. The new and improved of Office 2007 apps may look much more "politically correct" than in previous versions, but so far my experience has been that it can hardly get any less user friendly and more convoluted than this. I'm giving it a very serious try here, but I'm also beginning to think about throwing in the towel. Anybody out there that can offer any useful advice as to how I can actually start using the Office 2007 applications without letting all my previous experience and know-how completely go to waste? -- JMB |
