Nov. 22nd, 2019 09:42 pmThis freshman-level university course on using Microsoft Office (specifically: Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint, in that order) in a business environment appears to be operating under the assumption that I have never used a word processor in my life.
I suspected it would (computer classes aimed at non-technical people tend to be like that), yet it's still kind of weirding me out. Well, there's no minimum semester length: if I do indeed breeze through this mandatory course quickly, I'll reach my diploma that much faster. And to be fair, I *have* gained two (2) pieces of information in my first day: what a ribbon is called, and how to make headings directly rather than mimicking them with bolding and font size and such.
Since I've never put much deliberate effort into learning all the ins and outs of what a word processor is capable of--just the stuff I've picked up over 20 years of ordinary use--I do expect there'll be a bunch of little things like the headings. And I've never made a slideshow, so the PowerPoint stuff will all be new.
