Introduction

One of that things that taking university classes has made apparent to me is that I am very fortunate to have done the computer thing before I started!

I took the Computer Programmer Analyst program at Georgian College, and I've been teaching Microsoft Office programs, among other things, ever since. All of the MS Office suite programs are incredibly powerful - if you know how to use them.

But so many people don't!

And that it why this blog. I do. My plan is to write articles that will help people with some of the ~stuff~ that will make their powerpoints and essays and research problems so much easier.

I already have a great big list of things that I've seen during my classes - will start with those, and add as more come up, or as I'm asked.

Here's a partial list:

• Working with images


• Making them lighter (in PowerPoint)


• Finding them


• ~Borrowing~


• When all else fails - screenshots


• PowerPoint presentations - what you need to know


• Headers & Footers
• Sections


• Creating a Table of Contents in Word documents


• Printing in Excel


• What is a template, and why would you use one


• Customizing Office programs


• Building toolbars

First though, I need to finish my essay on Sexuality as a Source of Terror in the Gothic Novel. I'll be back!
