Many of you have asked for Office 2007 Quick Reference sheets that can be handed out to end users to allow them to refer to something for guidance when they first start using the new ribbon interface of Office 2007.
A company I use called “Custom Guide” provides freely distributable COLOR quick reference guides in PDF form that you can download and distribute to your end users for no charge. They can be hosted internally for download within your organization’s support site, and duplicated as many times as you like.
The quick references sheets include, among other things:
- Access 2007
- Excel 2007
- Internet Explorer 7.0
- Infopath 2007
- Office 2007
- OneNote 2007
- Outlook 2007
- Powerpoint 2007
- Publisher 2007
- Project 2007
- Sharepoint 2007
- Visio 2007
- Windows Vista
- Word 2007
…and they also have downloads for previous versions of many of the products as well.
BUT WHAT IF I WANT TO CUSTOMIZE THEM?
Well, if you want to put your company’s logo on the sheet (to hide the fact that you didn’t actually make the sheet yourself <ahem>), you need to license the sheets from CustomGuide. You can then put your company logo on the sheet and make it appear a little more professional. The licensing fees to do so incidentally are really minimal – something like a few hundred bucks I think for your whole organization.
They do NOT allow you to copy the content and modify it outside of the logo, however. They might allow this with another licensing type or something but I don’t know how that works.
