COURSE OVERVIEW

In this instructor-led course, students will gain hands-on experience with Microsoft Office 2010.

Many participants tell us that they wish they had taken this course when they first got Office 2010. They explain that they wasted so much time trying to find their old commands and where the new features are located that they lost valuable time on projects and everyday tasks.

In this course, you will learn about the new Office 2010 Interface changes that Microsoft has implemented, including where to find the old commands and features so that you can continue to work efficiently. You will also learn about the new features and options available only in Office 2010 designed to help save you time. We will spend a portion of class dedicated to the individual programs to examine items unique to each one. This will include Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook.

This course requires you to be familiar with using personal computers. Prior experience with an earlier version of Microsoft Office such as Office 2000, 2002, or 2003 is required.
