24. Will it work with PS queries that use Excel? Yes, it appears that PS will work with Office 2007.

25. To save a document as Final: If Track Changes has been enabled, you are able to individually select changes and right click to Accept or Reject or you can broadly accept all changes. Once you are through the whole document, click on the Accept icon --> Accept all Changes in the Document. This appears to delete all traces of changes, even if you ask for Markups to be shown. In addition, you do have the option of then saving the document as a Final--Read only document from the Office Button --> Prepare --> Mark as Final. This will prevent others from changing any contents of the document. 25

26. To compress pictures and discard cropped areas of pictures: Select the picture in your document --> the Picture Toolbar Contextual Tab should appear. Under the Adjust task --> click Compress Pictures--> in the resulting box, click Options --> under Compression options you should choose to 'Automatically perform basic compression on save' and 'Delete cropped areas of pictures' (no wonder I couldn't find it...it's buried!). Also, see this Microsoft article about other options for compressing pictures and reducing file size: http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/word/HA101922001033.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en- us/word/HA101922001033.aspx 26

27. Poster size? In Word, the highest custom size I could get to was 22" square. To change size, go to the Page Layout Tab and click on Size. In PowerPoint, it seems like 56" is the limit. To change size, go to the Design Tab, click on Page Setup. In Publisher, there are many more options for sizes. Publisher seems to allow page sizes up to 240". To change sizes, go to Format --> Publication --> Change Page Size 27

28. In Word 2007, when you click on Home and New, you are given a bunch of template options similar to Publisher. It really blurs the lines between Word and Publisher. 28
