When you create an X-Y scatter plot in Excel 2007, the default setting will create a chart with axes that end with the largest data points. If you need to extrapolate further data points, you will need to expand the axes of your existing chart.

à, è, ì, ò, ù,
À, È, Ì, Ò, Ù

We now have several PowerPoint template designs with the new Cortland logo and bridge graphics available for download on the Communication Guide website – http://www.cortland.edu/commguide/brand/ppt.html
You can incorporate any or all of these PowerPoint file as design themes in PowerPoint 2007 and apply them to existing presentations, or create new ones.
Click here to download instructions on how to download and install these template designs as design themes in PowerPoint 2007. Please note, if you are going to use the new Cortland approved fonts, you will need to download and install the fonts from this page – http://www.cortland.edu/fonts/ (Instructions for downloading and installing the fonts are included on the page).
Some users still prefer the styles, line spacing and font from Word 2003. To change the default in Word 2007 to that of Word 2003, follow these simple instructions.
1. Open Word 2007 and click on the Home Tab.
2. On the far right, is the ‘Change Styles’ button. Click on the button. On the drop down menu, hold your cursor over ‘Style Set’. From the fly out menu, click on ‘Word 2003’.
3. Click on the ‘Change Styles’ button again and then click on ‘Set as Default’. This sets the default spacing for all new documents to that of Word 2003. Now you are ready to change the default font.
4. The default font in Word 2007 is set to ‘Calibri’. To change this to Times New Roman (or any other font type); click on the small arrow at the bottom right corner of the Font group on the Home Tab. A Font dialogue window will open. Choose the font type, style and size that you want to set as the default and then click the default button at the bottom of the window. A confirmation window will open. Click ok, and the font in your current document and any *NEW* documents based on the normal template (blank documents) will have the spacing, style and font of Word 2003.
5. Ignore steps 2 through 4 if you want to keep the style sets and default font in Word 2007, but just want to change the line spacing. Click on the Page Layout tab and then click on the small arrow on the Paragraph group below ‘Spacing’. The Paragraph dialog window will open. Under the Spacing heading, change the Line Spacing to Single and the After spacing from 10 to 0 pt. Then click on the default button to make this the default spacing for this document and all future new documents.

Welcome back new and returning faculty! We are about to begin a new semester at SUNY Cortland, and there are a couple of items we would like to advise you of if you plan to teach in one of the Windows Technology Classrooms or computer labs (this does not affect the Macintosh platform at this time).
• As stated last spring, all the technology rooms and labs have been upgraded to Office 2007.
• Additional information about Office 2007 can also be obtained through the following resources:
o The Training Center is offering training sessions. You can find these at http://library.cortland.edu/ttc/training_center.asp
o Microsoft has also created many self-paced on-line tutorials for both the Office 2007 and Office 2003 application suites. These are text-based tutorials that include images with an audio narration and are categorized by application and function. The tutorials can be viewed at:
o Main Training site: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/default.aspx
o Getting Started Training: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/getstarted/FX101938921033.aspx
o More Virtual Labs (90 minutes) http://www.microsoft.com/technet/traincert/virtuallab/office.mspx
o Differences between Office 2003 and Office 2007: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100744321033.aspx
If you do not want to upgrade to Office 2007, please be assured that documents created with Office 2003 are compatible with Office 2007 documents (see below). We expect many students to arrive on campus with new computers that have Office 2007 installed on them. It will be important to tell your students that:
• When they save a document in Office 2007, they should use the “save as” function and save the document as an “a 97 to 2003 document.”
• If someone is still using Office 2003 and they receive an Office 2007 document, they may receive a pop-up dialogue box asking them to download an application that will convert this automatically for them. If they are comfortable doing so, they may go ahead and install this application.
