This class is not family history related but the skills you learn can be used to create family history related documents such as ancestral time-lines and information databases, or simply for documented and footnoted histories of an individual ancestor that include photos and scanned images. Mail-merge skills can be used for family organization news letters. I have 2-4 openings only for the following class. If you are interested please reply asap to 'hold your spot' or be put on the waiting list. Folsom Cordova Adult Education Presents: Microsoft Word 2000 A ten week course beginning Thursday 3 April 2003 Location: Mercy Folsom Village 1160 Duchow, Folsom, CA Instructor: Susan H. Jackman Learn the basics of word processing in Microsoft Word 2000. This class covers everything from entering and selecting text to tables and mail-merge. Do you have a favorite font with size and color that you use a lot? Did you know that you can give it a name and store the 'character style' for ease in future use? How about creating a template from a 'document style' that you use a lot---that stores your margins, font type, heading sizes, etc! Better still, how about a 'macro' to save you time by combining a series of commands that you use a lot-into a single command. For instance: 'Click insert, Click Picture, Click From File, Select the file, click insert' saved as a 'macro' means that with the touch of a key on your keyboard you might add a 'letterhead' or other graphic located on your hard drive. Want to learn how to take names in a word table and 'merge' them into a label or envelope template for mailing purposes? How about how to use mail merge to create a personalized letter for everyone on your mailing list? Or how to create a table of information that can be sorted by name, date, place, or any other heading type! Examples of other tools covered in the ten week class are: using auto shapes, inserting and arranging photos, adding a text box, adding color to your document, adding footnotes, page numbers, headers and footers, the list goes on and on.
