Intro to Microsoft Office 2010

Office 2010 offers a wide range of new features and different ways of interacting with the software. This half-day class will get you up-to-speed and ready to get to work with the new suite of programs. The class is especially helpful if you never made the switch to Office 2007.

This class is intended as an introduction to the new software, NOT as comprehensive training for each program. If users are already familiar with a previous version of Microsoft Office, or have taken classes in previous versions, this short class will bring them up to speed on the new environment and present methods for working efficiently with each program.
