The first thing to notice is the Ribbon running right across the top. The Ribbon is supposed to be more intuitive than drop-down menus. Emphasis is placed on the tools and options appropriate to what you're doing. Here's a closer look at the Ribbon when Excel first starts (it's split in half, here):

Right Side of the Ribbon in Excel 2007
Left Side of the Ribbon in Excel 2010
Right Side of the Ribbon in Excel 2010
Notice that in both versions the Home tab is the one that
is selected. Other tabs are: Insert, Page Layout, Formulas, Data, Review
and View. (In the image above, there's also a Developer tab. If you
don't do any programming then you don't have to worry about this tab.)
In the top left of the Ribbon in Excel 2007 there's a big circle. This
one:
Click this, and you'll see all the file operations: New,
Open, Save, Exit, etc.
To see the same menu in Excel 2010, you have to click
on the File tab, which is on the far left. (It looks as though it's
already selected, but it's not.):
We'll go through all these menu options later, along with
the various options on the Ribbon tabs. But the best place to start
with Excel is getting to grips with all those numbers and letters. These
are the Grid Coordinates. We'll do that in the next part.
