C&NS Office 2007 Training Classes
Office 2007 Speed Learning and Boot Camp Workshops
Office 2007 is about to be deployed on campus. Did you know that is has a completely different user interface and some new changes compared to all previous versions of Office? Do you know what the Ribbon is? Did you know that the menu bar is gone? Are you prepared for totally new file formats (no more .doc for Microsoft Word)?
In response to these changes, C&NS is offering multiple Office 2007 workshops to get you acclimated to the new Microsoft Office. By attending these sessions, you will be able to get a better idea of all of the new features, changes, receive helpful hints to make the transition to Office 2007 easier, and avoid the frustration of finding the features that you have always used. You will also receive documentation that can be used as a reference guide.
The workshops are broken down into two categories: 1) "Speed" Learning Office 2007 and 2) Office 2007 Boot Camp.
The "Speed" Learning Office 2007 workshop is a three hour workshop. Participants will learn new Office 2007 concepts quickly by getting a hands-on look of the four main Office programs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook) in four mini sessions that will introduce the main concepts and features.
The Office 2007 Boot Camp workshop is for users who want a more in depth look at the Office 2007 programs. These users will learn new Office 2007 concepts by getting a hands-on look of one of the four Office programs in a two-hour session that will introduce the main concepts and features. Attendees will have the ability to choose which workshops they want to attend.

If you cannot make these workshops, C&NS has made available a number of online and print resources for your convenience. The Office 2007 resource website offers general information, links to online training, instructions on how to use available Microsoft E-Learning Courses, Frequently Asked Questions, and resources for Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac.
Quick Source guides for all programs are available upon request and can be sent to users via campus mail. Since these guides will be also handed out during the workshops, duplicates will not be provided.
Classes will be limited to 12 people per session and will be located in the C&NS training lab located on the 2nd floor in Dolan Commons.
You will receive a confirmation via e-mail immediately upon registering for the classes.
