At long last! VU is pleased to offer the second in an eagerly awaited series of courses on OpenOffice, the enormously popular office suite that not only offers an alternative to Microsoft Office but at an unbeatable price — it's free! In this five-week course, long-time VU instructor Michele Wills (Eagle) will cover the basics of installing OpenOffice and how to use Calc, the spreadsheet component. Participants will learn how to enter data in a spreadsheet and then manipulate this data to produce a variety of results. Other basic topics will also be covered. Curriculum: This five-week course is instructor-led and supported by an online discussion forum. Those who wish to get a head start on installing OpenOffice before class begins can get help and meet fellow classmates by visiting VU's OpenOffice discussion forum. Prerequisites: Students must have the OpenOffice software suite installed on their computer. Simply download a free copy of the software. Students on slow dialup modems may prefer to purchase OpenOffice on CD for just $2.49 (includes shipping) by following this link. CLOSE WINDOW REGISTER FOR THIS CLASS
