Introduction: IT133 Software Applications

OK … so what are we going to do in IT133 Computer Software applications? Why is this course important?... or what if I have never used Microsoft Office before? Don’t panic … it’s fun! We’re going to learn how to use Microsoft Office 2007 software applications such as Word, PowerPoint, and Excel. We will create documents using various functions of word processing software, computer generated, on-screen PowerPoint presentations, and spreadsheets & graphs using basic spreadsheet functions. The course is designed for seasoned users of Microsoft Office and for those who have never used the program.

So let the learning begin!
