Learn how to use Word, Excel and PowerPoint!
Microsoft Office 2010 and 2007 for SENIORS will help your students accomplish everyday tasks more quickly and efficiently! Your students will learn how to create professional looking documents in Word by using Quick Styles and document themes. They will also learn how to use Artistic Effects: a wide range of special effects that can be applied to images inserted into their documents. They can also create their own custom greeting cards or booklets by choosing among a variety of built-in templates.
In Excel, they can learn how to keep track of their family finances by creating a budget spreadsheet. They will learn how to use the built-in formulas to automatically calculate and analyze columns of data. They can also use Excel as a database to maintain lists of their CD or DVD collection, their books or stamp collection.
Do your students want to learn how to use their own pictures to create a beautiful slideshow or photo album? Just point them to PowerPoint, with this program they can do that very easily. They can liven up their presentations by adding text, illustrations, audio clips, video clips and voice messages to their "slides". Once your students are satisfied with their work, the book continues further discussing the various ways to share the presentation. They can send it in an e-mail to family or friends, burn it to a CD or copy it to a USB stick.
