Comparisons with Microsoft Office Specialist

175841180.doc Page 15 of 24





Q: Which of the three levels of the Microsoft business certification program is most similar to the current Microsoft Office Specialist program?

A: Within the overall program, the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist Series includes six

certification exams (Word, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Outlook®, Access® and Windows Vista®) that

most closely resemble the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams.

As you may know, the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam included four levels of

knowledge and skill: core, expert, master, master instructor. The new Microsoft Certified

Application Specialist exams bear a resemblance to a combination of the “core” and “expert”

material in the Microsoft Office Specialist 2003 series.

achieve this distinction:

3. PowerPoint®

(**Master Instructor requires valid

Focus areas are job-function specific

and collaborative across multiple Office

applications:

1. Managing budgets

2. Creating presentations

3. Content collaboration

4. Organizational support

Q: What is the same when comparing the Microsoft Office Specialist program and the new

Microsoft Certified Application Specialist series?

A: As with the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam, the test-taking environment is

conducted within the actual application itself. The length of the exam is the same: 45-50 minutes.

And the number of questions is also approximately the same: 30-35 questions.

Q: Is there a "conversion" certificate for individuals who have been certified in prior

versions of the Microsoft Office software?

A: No. Anyone interested in preparing for and certifying in the 2007 Microsoft Office system or

Windows Vista® must take and certify their skills in one of the Microsoft business certification

exams.

Q: Does one need to “retake” the certification exams?

A: Anyone having earned a Microsoft Office Specialist certification credential in Office 2003 (or

other version) continues to retain all the prestige, rights, and privileges associated with this

certification. Those interested in verifying their computing proficiency in 2007 Microsoft Office

system or Windows Vista® will need to take and pass a Microsoft business certification exam.

Q: Why doesn't my current Microsoft Office Specialist certification “transfer over” to the

new Microsoft business certifications?

A: The new Microsoft business certification is exclusively based on computing skills found only in

the 2007 Microsoft Office system and Windows Vista® operating system. Windows Vista® and the

175841180.doc Page 17 of 24





latest version of Microsoft Office represent the most significant changes to the product featuresand User Interface in Microsoft products over the last 12 years. Because the Microsoft Office

Specialist certification is foundationally based on the Office 2003 business suite (along with

previous versions), the new Microsoft business credentials stand alone and apart from Microsoft

Office Specialist.

Q: Is the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist exam just one exam that includes

questions on all the 2007 Office system software programs?

A: No. As with the Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam, each software program in the

2007 Office system, namely Word, Excel®, PowerPoint®, Outlook®, Access®, have their own

unique certification exam.

Q: Are the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist exams similar in length to the

Microsoft Office Specialist exams?

A: Yes. Each exam is approximately 50 minutes and includes approximately 30-35 questions.

Q: Is the actual test experience the same or different from the Microsoft Office Specialist

certification exams?

A: Although the testing environment for the Microsoft business certifications will occur solely on

the 2007 Microsoft Off ice and Windows Vista® platforms, the testing experience on a Microsoft

Certified Application Specialist exam is similar to what a Test Candidate would encounter in a

Microsoft Office Specialist exam.

Q: What is the level of difficulty for the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist

certification exams compared to the Microsoft Office Specialist certification on Word 2003

or Excel® 2003 “core” exams?

A: Microsoft Certified Application Specialist certification exams represent a level of difficulty

commiserate between the “core” and the “expert” level of Microsoft Office Specialist certification

exams. In other words, the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist certification exams are more

difficult than the existing Microsoft Office Specialist certification exams.

Q: How difficult are the Microsoft Certified Application Professional certification exams?

A: Based on the Microsoft Certified Application Specialist certification exams, the Application

Professional series represents the same level of exam difficulty. However, a single certification

exam in the Professional series covers computing skills proficiency on at least three 2007

175841180.doc Page 18 of 24





Microsoft Office system applications. The specific software programs in which the exam questionsare based in each Application Professional certification exam is specifically called out in an

overview of the program. The certification exams in the Application Professional series are:

1. Managing Budgets

2. Creating and Managing Presentations

3. Managing Team Collaboration

4. Supporting Organizations

Q: Are there any similarities between the Microsoft Office Specialist Master level and the

Microsoft Certified Application Professional series?

A: Both programs indicate the top level of mastery and highly advanced computing skills in the

majority of Microsoft Office software programs. Microsoft Certified Application Professional Series

certification credential is based on an individual's mastery of the intense collaborative, in-depth

use of 2007 Microsoft Office system software programs to increase their performance to

accomplish tasks and projects directly associated with their present job function. The individuals

most appropriate for this certification credential currently work in an office setting in which theyuse Microsoft Office software program or program(s) at least 50% of their day to get their core job

functions accomplished.

The program is specifically designed to verify foundational computing skills proficiency to

demonstrate deep and seamless collaboration between three or more 2007 Microsoft Office

General Information Regarding 2007 Microsoft Office

Q: What is the 2007 Microsoft Office system?

A: The Microsoft Office system has evolved from a suite of personal productivity products to a

more comprehensive and integrated system. Building on the familiar tools that many already

know, the latest Microsoft Office system includes programs, servers, services, and solutions

designed to work together to help address a broad array of business problems.

At the core of the Microsoft Office system are the Microsoft Office suites, which deliver the core

desktop productivity tools. New features in these programs enhance how employees can work withone another, partners, and customers, and how organizations capture and use information. In

addition to the core desktop editions, the 2007 release includes new programs, servers, and

services that build on the productivity software skills your employees already possess. Used

together, the Microsoft Office system can help you address business needs ranging from personal

productivity management to complex project management.

Q: Is the 2007 Microsoft Office system a single offering?

A: No. The Microsoft Office system is a portfolio of products and services that provide the building

blocks to create solutions to business needs. Those building blocks will continue to be available

separately, along with newer additions.

Q: What's new in the 2007 Microsoft Office system?

A: The 2007 release presents newly designed menus and toolbars as well as new features that

businesses and individual computer users can use to complete tasks more quickly and easily.

Q: What is the new Microsoft Office User Interface?

A: The way users interact with Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint®, Excel®, Access®, andOutlook® has been redesigned with the 2007 release to make it easier for users to find and use

program capabilities. The overall look and feel of these applications has been streamlined and

new technologies introduced that present users with selections of potential results they can simply

“browse, pick, and click” rather than complicated dialog boxes.

Q: What are the key benefits of the new Microsoft Office User Interface (UI)?

A: The new Microsoft Office UI will make it easier and quicker for user's to get the results they

want. In addition, because they new UI makes it easier to take advantage of the application's rich

175841180.doc Page 20 of 24





feature sets, users will be able to produce better results faster.

Q: Will all the Microsoft Office applications utilize the new Microsoft Office UI?

A: In the 2007 Microsoft Office release, Microsoft Office Word 2007, Office Excel® 2007, Office

Access® 2007, and Office PowerPoint® 2007 will have the new Microsoft Office UI. In addition,

the new interface will be used in Microsoft Office Outlook® 2007 when composing e-mail

messages, creating tasks or contacts, and setting up meetings.

Q: Why did Microsoft decided a new UI was needed? Why now?

A: As Microsoft has added more and more features and functionality to the applications over time,

it's become harder for people to find the things they want to do with the products. For example,

Microsoft Word 1.0 only had about 100 commands, and by using the menus you could see

everything you could do. Today, Microsoft Office Word 2003 has over 1,500 commands, many of

which can be difficult to find. That element of discoverability is just one of the key issues

addressed by the new UI.

Q: When can I try out the new Microsoft Office UI?

A: You can test drive the new user interface online at:http://office.microsoft.com/enus/products/HA101687261033.aspx

or visit the interface demo at:

http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/products/HA101679471033.aspx.

Q: What were the design goals of the new menus, and how where they determined to be

top priorities?

A: Microsoft wanted to deliver new capabilities that empower people to get the results they want,

faster. We had four major design goals:

1. Make it easier to find and use product features.

2. Reduce design clutter and interruptions.

3. Make it easier to discover needed capabilities.

4. Support the creation of great-looking documents.

Q: Which software applications get the new menus and toolbars?

capabilities help you rapidly apply a new look and feel to your documents, and the new Live

Preview capabilities give you a quick look at any changes you make.
