Description

This is a 1.6 credit course offered completely online through Glen Oaks Community College Department of Business Services. In this online program, you'll explore both the new 2010 features and those added in 2007. If you're still using Office 2003 or 2007, you'll learn how to transition smoothly to this newer version. In Word, you'll learn all about the new 2010 File tab, Backstage View and Picture SmartArt layouts. Then you'll find out how to make your documents accessible with the Accessibility Checker, and learn how to utilize the Navigation pan and the new Mini Translator. In Excel, you'll see what the File tab does and find out how to save your worksheet as a PDF file. Next, you'll learn how sparklines, slicers, and other new formatting options. In PowerPoint, we'll look at the new File tab, SmartArt picture layouts and the new Picture background removal feature. In addition, you'll see new video styles and how the Transitions tab can make slide show transitions easy. You'll also master new animation effects, examine how to organize long presentations using sections, and learn how to create a video from any PowerPoint presentation. In Access, you'll learn how to use the new data type parts to quickly add pre-made fields to a database, and explore application parts. You'll see how Access 2010 lets you use themes in forms and reports, and how you can share your Access tables, forms, and reports by publishing to other formats and exporting objects to the Web. The course assumes a basic knowledge of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access 2003 or 2007. However, all tasks are taught using simple explanations in an easy step-by-step format, so even someone who has little practice at using some features will still be able to master the basics of Office 2010 and complete the course. Upon registering, you're given six weeks to complete the program. Should you need more time, you may request a two week extension at no additional charge.
