those are the two hardest chords to get in the beginning.

With the F you can leave off the high E string, but mute it with the tip of your first finger, that's on the B string, so the high E string doesn't ring out.

For B7, go to the Ultimate Chord Finder and put in B7, Variation 1. I think you'll find this version easier to finger than most.
