Description
Windows 7, Office 2010, and Internet Explorer 9 tips and tricks
Seeing Eye graduate and certified JAWS instructor Sue Martin is offering three one hour training sessions for an intermediate or advanced user of JAWS for Windows. Have you just purchased a Windows 7 computer? Did your employer just provide you with one? If so, and if you’re ready to cut to the chase and get productive, this training is for you.
You will learn to pin programs to the taskbar. You’ll learn to have instant access to that one program you want to find with a single keystroke, no matter how many windows you have opened. Goodbye to Alt+Tab. You’ll learn what a jump list is and how to use it.
Internet Explorer 9 has some challenges. But it’s also quite powerful. Learn to do tabbed browsing. Learn what to do with the notification bar. As part of this training Sue will provide you with free training materials from the Freedom Scientific Training Department. These materials have been adapted, with permission, so that they present information on Internet Explorer 9 only.
The third hour of trainig will focus on Microsoft Office 2010. Learn about the Backstage View. Learn how to find things that have moved since Office 2007. This will not be a comprehensive training on Office 2010. Instead, you will learn strategies that will help you be more productive and work more confidently.
