See the new features in Office 2003! Tutorials for the following new features are listed below, with the number of steps. Tutorials take from 5-10 minutes to run. You do not need Office 2003 to run the tutorials. Each tutorial can be viewed in two playback modes:

Standard Tutorial - Requires learner interaction to progress from one step to the next. This playback mode also allows the learner to skip around in the simulation by randomly selecting steps from the Steps Pane. Recommended playback mode.

Auto Playback Tutorial - Automatically runs the tutorial from start to finish without any learner interaction. In this "show me" mode, the system performs the actions to complete the simulation, and the learner is an observer. Wait times are set for each step, but be aware that this mode may be either too slow or too fast for the learner.

To run a tutorial, just click on one of the feature links. Another web page will open and allow you to choose either the standard or auto playback tutorial for that feature.
