September,
2008
Registration for this and all our courses
will be held on Tuesday, September 23rd beginning at 1:00 pm at the
Hot Springs Senior Center. MS Word has been updated from Word 2002 to Word 2003 and includes new and additional figures to improve the 'self-help' quality of this manual. The lesson on mail merge now includes a small database file of names and addresses that students can add to and then produce a form letter (like a holiday greeting letter) as well as mailing labels. Quicken has been updated and, added new for this course will be a prepared account file that students will continue to add to and update throughout the course. More time spent learning the Quicken program than data entry. Other courses that have been updated including Fun with Word; UYC Level One; UYC Level Two. In the works: Family Tree Maker using the recently released FTM 2008 software, Excel, Photo Editing...all will be updated for our winter session. Vista??? No definite schedule as yet but we have upgraded our computers making them ready for Vista. Hopefully we will have more news about Vista course offerings later this fall. We'll let you know, right here at e-News.com. A complete schedule of fall classes can be found HERE.
So...We've been busy this summer always trying to keep up with the ever changing information world and always working to bring you the latest and most complete courses that we can offer. After all...this is SeniorNet where your computer training is a personal thing with us.
They're Back... Alan Strautman will be bringing you all sorts of great tech tips of interest in every issue of e-News.com starting right now! Might throw in a few Vista tips as well. Check out this month's tip on Word 2007 right HERE Beginning with the October issue of e-News, Patty Hunt's In-Focus column will introduce you to one of our many students currently in a class. You'll read how they came to find SeniorNet and what our classes have meant to them. So many have started with so little knowledge of the computer and it's a joy to see how well they have taken to their new found interest...with a little help from SeniorNet.
This month's Tips and Tricks... Still on Vacation...Will be back with some dandy tips beginning with our next issue of e-News. But...here's something all you lovers of MP3 music will like. You can get Free and legal MP3 downloads right HERE! New subscriber? Missed some of our tips? Catch up right HERE!
Still basking in the sun...somewhere. Until 'Software 'n Stuff'' returns, check out our past recommendations...Here!
Several of our instructors volunteered over the summer to update our manuals. They included new and revised text, added new figures, and updated the student files. We also made the change over from Word 2002 and floppies to Word 2003, CD's and Flash drives. In addition we completed a new course, PowerPoint Basics. We expect this to be a popular choice come registration and if all goes well we will offer an Advanced PowerPoint course for our winter session. On Saturday, September 13th, we will present a seminar on the Basics of the Internet. Much of what will be discussed you can apply to either IE6 or IE7. A seminar manual of the power point presentation plus an additional hand out about the features of IE7 will be available to all ticket holders. Tickets can only be purchased at the library and seats are limited. Those of you who attended our Computer Maintenance seminar may remember that tickets sold out several days prior to the seminar date. So get your tickets early. See you then, ok? Until next time...

This
Fall we will be offering our New PowerPoint Basics
course. This is the perfect class for anyone who knows nothing about
PowerPoint, or has used PowerPoint for building really simple
presentations, but needs to learn how to do more. We will take you
from creating a title slide to building a full fledged presentation
from scratch in four short classroom sessions. 
Software 'n
Stuff... 
Final
thought...Boy, It's hard to believe that the summer
is already over. We here at the Hot Springs Learning Center hope
that you all had an enjoyable and healthy summer.
