subject: Leo4office - Automated Help For Office 2007: Outlook, Word, Power Point And Excel [print this page] There is a limit to how far, how quickly, Office 2007 tutorials can get you. The Leo4Office automatic help application is designed to help quickly.
It is a known fact that the interface of Office 2007 is very different than its predecessor, Office 2003. This fact has stopped many users from upgrading in the past, and even once the transition was made, it is hard to find the required functions in the new interface.
Leo4Office offers help for both new and advanced Office 2007 users. This includes Word, Outlook, Excel and Power Point. From simple tasks, like recalling a message in Outlook and inserting a picture into a word document to advanced forms actions, this tool asks you to simply watch.
How it works ?
The first thing is to type into the Leo bar a how to question, and browse through the answers.
The second thing is to instruct Leo4Office to execute the task. At this point, Leo starts moving your mouse for you and performing the task.
For example, if you want to insert a picture into a Word document, Leo will ask you where you would like to place the picture and will then open the picture folder for you and ask you which picture you would like to insert. Of course, this is a pretty simple task. But Leo's help extends to much more complex tasks.
One of the main advantages of Leo4Office is its ability to show you how to find what you need and do it yourself next time. Menus have shifted and functions have changed place, so although we know that we can do something in Office 2007 (because we did it in Office 2003), it is difficult to figure out exactly how to do it, when we are using Office 2007 for the first time.
