Course Description

The newest versions of Microsoft Office are substantially different in many respects from their predecessors; a radically new user interface coupled with new file formats means that the transition can be a rough one, but it does not have to be that way. If you have recently upgraded to Office 2010 or plan to do so this year, take steps now by attending this half-day seminar to ensure that the move is a smooth one for you and your team.

While Office 2010 offers tremendous opportunities for increased efficiencies and productivity, users in many organizations have struggled with the transition.

Key topics covered in this session include; what your best licensing strategy is; understanding the new user interface; what tools are available to assist users in working with the new user interface; best practices for dealing with potential file format issues; and what new features and functions are available and what has been deleted.
