Features
For introductory computer courses in Microsoft 2007 or courses in computer concepts with a lab component for Microsoft Office 2007 applications, using Windows Vista as the operating system.
The goal of the Exploring series has been to move students beyond the point and click, helping them understand the why and how behind each skill.
Beyond The Point and Click
Students go to college now with a different set of skills than they did 5 years ago. The new edition of Exploring moves students beyond the basics of the software at a faster pace, without sacrificing fundamental skills to ensure that they will be engaged from Chapter 1 throughout the book.
Diversity
Students have diverse career goals. To target the variety of majors taking the course, Exploring offers examples relevant to every student. Several examples in the text include the:
· Health sciences
· Hospitality
· Urban planning
· Business
Studying Made Easy
Students read, prepare, and study differently than they used to. Rather than reading a book cover to cover, students want to easily identify what they need to know, and then learn it efficiently. The key features bring students into the content, making the text easy to use.
Some features include:

Key Features of the Office 2007 Revision
Integrated Assessment and Training
myitlab for Microsoft 2007, is a solution designed by professors that allows you to easily deliver Office courses with defensible assessment and outcomes-based training. No longer is the technology mapped to your textbook, this 1:1 content relationship between the software and the text means that online assessment and training will work with your textbook to move students beyond the point and click.
Unique Instructor Resources
Reference Cards are available to outline KEY objectives in each chapter, helping instructors anticipate where students get stuck and how to get them “un-stuck.” Helping to bridge the gap between the instructor and student on more difficult topics by offering:
New To This Edition
The 2nd edition now includes a chapter of Windows Vista and all screen shots and instructions have been updated to cover Windows Vista.
NEW! Updated Windows Vista Coverage
NEW! Cumulative Capstone Exercises are available for each application to tie application use to real-life professional situations in the arts, hospitality, legal, and health-care industries.
NEW! Student Reference Foldout Card for Office 2007 Ribbons includes text explanations and screenshots of Office 2007 Ribbons for Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, and Common Office. It also has one panel showing differences between XP and Vista.
