I have to continue using the Office 2003 book until
the end of the class (which I hate because it's so
dull, mostly because I already know how to use Word
and mostly know how to use Excel but it's a community
college and they require all degree program students
to take this class--period).
But I do not mind trying to scan it bit by bit. I
don't have expensive scanning software but there is
one that is free called Simple OCR and there is one
that comes with Microsoft Office 2003 - at least with
the professional edition.
And it has two nice laminated fold out cards that give
all sorts of shortcuts. I like the book; I just don't
like the class because it's really geared for people
who have never touched a computer before and there are
a lot of people in my class who are not very
proficient but the book is excellent. It does step by
step instructions for doing things.
I don't know if introductions are the norm on this
list or not, and I never did exactly introduce myself.
I just kind of jumped in. But I live in central
Michigan. I'm mom and wife, not quite full time
student right now. I have two full years in at a
private liberal arts college (Alma College). I took
last year off from school to have a third surgery on
my arm and this year I'm just going to community
college part time (8 credits as opposed to the 18 per
semester I took at Alma). And I work part time. And in
my spare time I like to read (ok I LOVE to read),
machine knit (no expensive machine - just a couple of
inexpensive machines you still manipulate with your
hands), and I like to make hats to donate to charity
in the winter time. And sometimes I make doll clothes
which I sell on ebay. I always have more interests
than I have time. :)
