Greetings, All.
Over the past few years at my current job, I have spent some time teaching individual users how to do minor things in Outlook & MS Office. “Here’s how you add a signature”, “This is what you do to wrap text”, etc. Now, however, the district manager has asked me to teach a formal class of about 6 or 7 students how to get the best out of Excel, Word and Outlook (2000 mainly, but some have 97).
As a fairly strong intermediate user (and probably one of the most knowledgeable people in our district), I know a good deal, but suddenly I find myself at a loss as to how to approach this situation. Usually, I am responding to “help me do this!” types of queries instead of setting up any type of formal or official class.
So, I’m asking for help. Does anyone know where I can go to get some decent un-technical resources to help me structure this class? Any suggestions as to what YOUR most commonly asked Office/Outlook questions are that I could include? Unfortunately, I don’t think the boss is going to give me more than 3 or 4 hours to cover these topics and truthfully, most of these people don’t use the really advanced options in these programs (such as merging mail lists, setting up web pages/public folders, or linking objects into documents & spreadsheets).
Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, All!
