Office 2007 Quiz - The Answers

  • Artigo

As promised here are the answers to the Office 2007 quiz I posted last week. As before, bear in mind that the questions and answers were written 12 months ago at the launch of Office 2007. I've skimmed through them to see if any answers may have changed since that time and have only spotted one (question 9). If you see any others feel free to point them out.

Now, honestly, did anyone get 40/40 without the help of a search engine? I think some of these are tough.

Comments

  1. we rtmd on the 30th Nov I think, not the 6th
  2. MOSS with Enterprise CAL also lets you do this
  3. BDC is not a product - this is MOSS with Ent Cal again
  4. Outlook in fact has more ribbons than any other Office product
  5. It's Excel services that does this - not a server and its also part of MOSS. but as they say, nobody likes a smartart ;-)
