Microsoft Office 2000: New Features

This course serves as a quick reference to features added or improved since Office 97 and guides students through the transition process. Prerequisites

Students enrolling in this course should be comfortable in the Windows environment. They should have completed one of the following courses: Windows 95: Introduction, Windows 98: Introduction, or Windows NT 4.0: Introduction, or have equivalent knowledge. In addition, this course assumes that students have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office 97.

Target Student

It is recommended that students have introductory-level knowledge of at least two of the three core Office applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), and also have familiarity with an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer. This course does not assume that students have experience with the Office 2000 versions of these applications Performance-Based Objectives

Lesson objectives help students become comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

Use and customize components of the interface common to all Office 2000 programs, including the Office Assistant and online Help, adaptive menus and toolbars, and common dialog boxes.
Use new features of Word 2000, Excel 2000, and PowerPoint 2000 that make it faster and easier to perform everyday tasks.
Use new and improved features across the suite, including the Clipboard toolbar, ClipArt Gallery, and email tools.
Complete basic Web authoring tasks in Office 2000, including saving, previewing, and managing HTML files; create Web documents in each Office program that take advantage of new features related to Web authoring.

Delivery Method

Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities. What's next

Students who want to learn specific features of any of the Office 2000 applications can take individual Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, or FrontPage courses. Each application is covered by multiple levels of courseware. If students are interested in learning how to work more efficiently by using the integration features of Office 2000 applications, you can recommend a course such as Microsoft Office 2000: Document Integration. Students who want to learn additional new features at an advanced level can take Microsoft Office 2000: Web Components and Collaboration.
