Happy Halloween from Computer Magic Training!

Wolfie and Karma, the Wizard Dogs here at Computer Magic Training, join us in wishing you a safe and fun Halloween filled with lots of magical tricks and (dog) treats! Our students love the canine companionship during breaks on days when our doggies are visiting. Wolfie is the master of Sharon Root, and Karma owns Maria Pasiuk. At least they think so. And we spoil them enough so they have no reason to doubt it. Our students tell us that we serve the best Treats during class breaks, and our wizardly doggies agree!

And now … some scary-good tricks to celebrate your Halloween!

Office 2007 New Features Classes
Spooky! If your company is upgrading to Office 2007, your employees may be really scared without some training on the new features. Office 2007 looks REALLY different – the menus have been replaced by Contextual Ribbons, and your employees may have some serious productivity issues adjusting to the new version. With over 1500 features in Word alone, it can get really hard to find everything now. Talk about lost productivity … now THAT’s scary!! You’ll save enormous amounts of wasted time if you plan to provide some training for your people. Contact us at Computer Magic Training to arrange for standard or customized classes on New Features for Office 2007 – hands-on or demo training at your company site, or at our newly expanded training facility.
