I'm sure you all know what these programs are used for but me. In my 20 years working clerical, I've never had to use them.........I think Excel is a spreadsheet thing but Outlook?? Is it some type of internet thing?

Ah.... then you remember the old days of Lotus 1-2-3....Originally Posted by Epona
Ahhh Excel, I have been using it in work since the early '90s and am pretty proficient. Yes it is a spreadsheet. It is easy enough to enter figures onto it and use for basic formulae such as adding up columns of figures, but writing macros and using things like 'if' statements (and similar) is more complex and requires some training or experience or maths/logic/very basic programming knowledge... but then I would say that, I am a bit of a master when it comes to Excel having been using it for so longand I'm a geek
Oh yes I had that on my home PC. Before we had anything like that at work we used Super-Calc. And before that... lets just say that the computer took up the entire room, cost more than a house, and could just about be used to play space invaders... if you didn't mind the fact that the alien ships looked like this- ^ It had one hell of a database on it mind youOriginally Posted by neetanddave

I've noticed that people who like technical or logical thinks usually like Excel, everyone else hates it! I do like it and Thank the Lord I do because I use it constantly at work!Originally Posted by HopeHacker
Excel is the devil as far as I'm concerned. I actually own it, because I have Microsoft Office. I even USED to have it on my computer, and I tried and tried and tried, until I was blue in the face to get the hang of it, and I just couldn't. So I took it off of my computer. It's too bloody hard as far as I'm concerned. Maybe it takes a more logical mind than I have, because I JUST CAN'T GET IT.
Oh boy how I wish I was closer and I could take your class! Do you give classes on line?Originally Posted by MoochNNoodles
Hey Susie, you know I have an opening in my class.....I teach the MS Office programs.
No but I can suggest a good book that we use to teach it! My classes are run self-paced, but with one-on-one instructor assistance. You might be able to get a copy of the book for about $30 from the publisher...I don't think it's available online. I'll check tomorrow at work and PM you!Originally Posted by kittylover4ever
