Computer and People Skills Training Certified Instructors Professional & Affordable       Computer Tips & Tricks Windows - To select large numbers of files (for deletion, copying, etc.), draw a box around them. To do this, hold down the left mouse button somewhere off to the side of the group of icons. While holding it down, drag your mouse, creating a "dashed-line" box. Surround any files you want to select. Easy! Internet - Windows Update is the best Internet tool I know to plug security holes and fix bugs. From the Tools menu in IE, click Windows Update. It will lead you through the steps of automatically downloading any upgrades your system needs. Word - Did someone send you a document typed in all "UPPER CASE?" Change it quickly by highlighting the objectionable text, and repeatedly hitting Shift-F3 until the correct case is shown. Excel - Do you work with more than one workbook at a time. Use Ctrl-F6 to quickly jump between them! QuickBooks- Write letters the easy way!  Use the Write Letters Wizard in QuickBooks to quickly generate professional letters to customers, suppliers, employees or a customized list of recipients.  Click the Company Menu and click on  Write Letters and follow the steps in the Wizard to select the type of letter you want and who should receive it.  QuickBooks automatically generates a letter in Microsoft Word to each recipient and allows you to customize the individual letters on the fly.      Keep Your Commitments Trustworthy. Dependable. Reliable. Do those words describe you? Would others say that your word is good and that you do what you say you will do?  The answer to each of those questions needs to be a resounding 'yes' for success to be in your future (and your present). Most successful people place a premium on keeping their promises and commitments. If they say they'll do something  whether 'important' or seemingly insignificant, they remember it? And they DO it.  They count on the fact that people can count on them. And they understand that statements like 'I was gonna', 'I meant to', and 'I haven't forgotten' all translate the same way: I JUST DIDN'T DO IT! Those are just excuses. They're close to meaningless. With the exception of the few unethical jerks out there, all people really do intend to keep 'their word' and their promises. But good intentions alone won't take you very far. You get no 'points' for them. Points come only when you deliver. So, don't make promises lightly; don't make ones you can't (or really don't intend) to keep. And when you do make commitments to your boss, to customers, or to coworkers, do whatever it takes to make good on them. Those people are expecting you to keep your word. Your reputation is at stake? your success is on the line.     Class Schedules  April 2007 Monday  Tuesday   Wednesday Thursday  Friday   Saturday 2 Word Intro Illustrator Intro Flash  3 Outlook Intro Computer Fundamentals Managing Interpersonal Relationships  4 Access Intro PowerPoint Extreme Managing Interpersonal Relationships  5 Closed for the Idaho Falls Chamber of Commerce Area Business Connection Expo  6 Photoshop Intro QuickBooks Intro Computer Repair Tips the Experts Use 7 Access  9 Access Intermediate Org Plus Dreamweaver  10 Excel Introduction VBA Dreamweaver 11 Word Intermediate VBA Illustrator Advanced  12 QuickBooks Intermediate PowerPoint Intro Digital Photography 13 HTML Intro Business and Technical Writing Managing Conflict 14 Excel 16 PowerPoint Intermediate IC3 Key Applications Crystal Reports Intro  17 Access Advanced Project Resume Writing Workshop 18 Excel Intermediate Project HTML Intermediate 19 QuickBooks Advanced Word Advanced QuarkXpress  20 Photoshop for Web Keyboarding Fundamentals Computer Security Tips  21 PC Repair Tips  23 Excel Advanced Master Public Speaking VB 6.0 24 Word Extreme Basic Keyboarding VB 6.0 25 Word Extreme Excel Extreme: Formulas VB 6.0 26 QuickBooks Payroll Crystal Reports Advanced IC3 - Living Online  27 InDesign Advanced HTML Advanced Sexual Harrassment  28 Word  30 Access Extreme Microsoft Project Advanced Interview Tips to Get the Job  1 Excel Intro Customer Loyalty Computer Fundamentals 2 Word Intro HTML Intro Access Intro 3 PowerPoint Intro  InDesign Intro  Conflict Management 4 Outlook Intro QuickBooks Intro Illustrator Intro 5 Computer Maintanance All the basics you need to know!

Meanness doesn't just happen overnight.  Words that soak into your ears are whispered...not yelled.  Do not corner something that you know is meaner than you.  It doesn't  take a very big person to carry a grudge.  You cannot unsay a cruel word.  Every path has a few puddles.  When you wallow with pigs, expect to get dirty. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.  If you find yourself in a hole, the first thing to do is stop digging.  The biggest troublemaker you'll probably ever have to deal with, watches you from the mirror every morning.  Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.  If you get to thinking' you're a person of some influence, try ordering' somebody else's dog around.   Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply. Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.     Technical Humor Tech Support: "I need you to right-click on the Desktop." Customer: "Ok." Tech Support: "Did you get a pop-up menu?" Customer: "No." Tech Support: "Ok. Right click again. Do you see a pop-up menu?" Customer: "No." Tech Support: "Ok, sir. Can you tell me what you have done up until this point?" Customer: "Sure, you told me to write 'click' and I wrote 'click'."
