As a great way of easing the transition from previous versions of Office, the Office 2007 team has created "Interactive Command Reference Guides".
These are Flash mockups of the 2003 versions of Word, Excel and PowerPoint, that let you see where your features have moved.
You can click through menus and toolbars of your familiar Office 2003, and when you find a command you need to use, a tooltip will tell you where that 2003 command has its equivelant in the new Office. Click it, and a mockup of the 2007 interface slides up, and shows you exactly how its done.
Fancy, and unbelievably useful. I bet some users will be keeping these open for the first week using the new system.
