Microsoft Office 97 Introduction
Course Aims
Microsoft Office 97 is a fully integrated set of tools containing a word processor, spreadsheet, and presentation software - Word 97, Excel 97 and PowerPoint 97. As all the components are from Microsoft they each provide the same style of easy-to-use icons and menu as one another allowing you to switch between the different tools and combine information easily. This intensive, entirely practical course goes through all the basic functions of text production, spreadsheet preparation and presentation production and provides a practical example in working together with the major tools. |
Assumed Knowledge
A basic understanding of PCs and familiarity with and use of, a keyboard, mouse and MS Windows 95 is required, gained either from previous experience or by attendance on a "Windows 95 User Introduction" course. |
Course Audience
Intending, new or recent users of MS Office 97 who want to gain a good understanding of the software in a short space of time. |
