Microsoft Office H.E.L.P

With any other proccesor, Open Office, Google Docs or Zoho Suite offers help links for anyone to use. I'm sure many have to learn before using it in their classrooms or lessons. Teachers can learn much more now about technology then from 20 years ago. Our world is changing vastly and teachers improve their lessons and projects for classes with findings like these. If they are able to use them, it's easier to past it on to the students. I have had many issues with not knowing how to use a processor of some sort. One that I can think of was in Microsoft Office, I was taking a computer course at FTCC a few semesters ago and we had to make flyers. It looked so simple and easy to do and I did it, but what I didn't understand was how to create borders. I was puzzled. I wanted to just finish the project so I just did what I had to do and skipped obviously a few important steps to what the teacher was looking for. So I went back and read step by step how to create the borders. So in other words I was basically looking at a picture and recreating it without listening to her directions. So I did delete it and spent the half hour that it said it would take and repeated but did it step by step this time. I never had to help a colleague fix a problem with a problem but more along the lines of a student in my class. She was to create the same thing, a flyer. But she was doing it for something that she was attending and wanted to make it look creative, fun, and represented her. So we found pictures of herself and inserted it into the flyer but she wasn't quite sure how. I told her to save the picture she wanted in a file and then go through BROWSE to look up her picture. After that she understood that you have to have a file for it in order to insert the picture itself. If anyone is ever puzzled like I was, the HELP link can offer many questions already been asked previously. Sometimes I use youtube and it shows you step by step for those who are visual learners.

Have you ever wanted to do anything with word processors and couldn’t figure it out? Have you wanted to type something really special and could not figure out how to get the computer to format it so it would look the way that you wanted? Describe one instance of a time when you wanted to do something in Microsoft Office and could not figure out how to accomplish it? What did you do? If this has never happened to you–then tell of a time when you helped a colleague with this same kind of problem.

I think with computers there is always something that I want to do, but cannot figure it out and my vision is not always the same as my finished project on word, or with anything technology which can be very frustrating for me e.g., doing my Venn diagram was very frustrating I could not get it exactly the way I had vision it, and my poor husband came home for lunch to a mad, frustrated women. Thinking of a time when I could not figure out something on Microsoft Office, oh so many to choose from. One instance was years ago while I was an FCC provider for the Army I wanted to make a newsletter for my parents and I did not know how to make one, so I talked with my director about wanting to make newsletters for my parents, she provided me books on how to make newsletters using Microsoft Office and a few months later her husband offered a computer class to all of the providers.
