Easy ways to expand your skills in Excel, PowerPoint, Word 2007

If you’re looking for a place to find answers about “how to” do something with Word, Excel or PowerPoint, here are two resources that will help:

http://inpics.net/   This website shows you, a picture at a time, how do accomplish a task.  Just click on the software (remember, we’re using the 2007 version), then click on your choice.  There is also a search function, so you can search for specific tasks you are trying to accomplish.

http://www.woopid.com/.  This website has short videos that show and tell you how to accomplish a task.  Like Inpics, this website has a search function, but it also has a place to browse through the offerings (which go beyond Office 2007).  Go to: http://www.woopid.com/channels.php, click on Windows, and you’ll see a list of Office sofware – Excel, PowerPoint, and so on.  If you click on PowerPoint, for example, you’ll see a list of different videos available.  You’ll see “login” and ”sign up now,” but you don’t have to register to use the website.  Just find the video you want, and watch it!

These tools might be a good way to learn a few new tricks – and you don’t have to go to a class to do it!  Enjoy.
