Office 2003 to 2010 New Features

Upgrading to Office 2010 from either 2003 or 2007?  Are you baffled by the change from Menus to Ribbons? Asking yourself “where did they put that feature?” Frustrated with a loss of productivity on your new version of Microsoft Office? You need this essential class!

We’ll cover all the in-common features that are new to Office 2010, including Ribbons and Contextual Tabs, Quick Access Toolbar and the new Backstage View. Then we’ll cover new features in the 4 programs – Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. This full 6-hour class includes some advanced features like Pivot Tables and Conditional Formatting that can’t be covered in the shorter 3-hour version of this course.

Some companies who upgrade without training continue to struggle with low productivity on Office 2007 or 2010 even 2 years after upgrading. You can avoid the pain of ongoing lost productivity with this effective training class that covers all the Office programs in just 1 day – and reap the benefits of labor cost savings for years to come! 6 hours
