There are many free, online resources and trainings that can help you advance your Microsoft Office skills. The trainings that I recommend below are not scheduled events, they can be done at your own pace. I want to encourage everyone do go through one or two of these, even the most advanced users learn something new when taking these trainings! A simple, newly-learned task could save you time and headaches later when working with e-mail and/or documents!

REMINDER! Please talk with your local IT contact if you do not have the latest version of Microsoft Office installed, which is 2010. CIT discontinued support for Outlook 2007 on May 31, 2012 and everyone should be on the latest version in preparation for the move to Office365 this fall.
