Learning the Office System


Recommended Posts

I recently got Office System 2003 Professional and was wondering if there was a video or something online to teach you the advanced features of some of the programs. I don't mean like "here's how to change the font" but some more advanced things. I recently read about an Equation Editor in Word which is really cool--I'd like to know more about my software like that! Most of Access is a mystery to me, but I'm starting to use it as a catalog system for a collection of music at school--I'd love to do some cool stuff with that!

Thanks
