Learn Microsoft Office with a game

Microsoft Office is a powerful suite of programs. In this case, “powerful” means very useful and very confusing. These programs contain an incredible number of tools. Most people barely scratch the surface of what they can do.

How do you learn to use complex programs like Word, PowerPoint and Excel? You could just poke around and see what happens. You could read through nearly endless manuals. Or you could play a game.

Ribbon Hero makes learning to use Office fun. No, really! It challenges you to use the available tools. Exercises encourage exploration. Or use the helpful hints if you get stuck. Every completed challenge earns you points.

On top of that, everyday use will earn you points too. Your point total sits in your ribbon’s Home tab. Click it to launch challenges. Word, PowerPoint and Excel all have separate challenges.
(Ribbon Hero only works with Office 2007 and 2010.)
