Microsoft Word

Tutorial

In seven lessons this is an excellent tutorial on how to use Microsoft Word.  Even if one is very familiar with the program there often seems to be certain functions that we can't quite recall how to make work...like how to create double spaced lines or  how to make bullets/numbered lists.


Microsoft Excel

Tutorial

If you are exploring how to use Microsof Excel for the first time, this is a very useful "How To" tutorial. Chapters: How to enter text/numbers in cells; formatting text and numbers in cells; Numbers and Mathematical calculations and Creating Charts.  What is clear after playing with Excel for a bit is how powerful the application is.


Microsoft PowerPoint

Tutorial

If your computer has Microsoft office, it has PowerPoint software.  Perhaps overused over the years, a Powerpoint program is still useful for many occasions.
