Learning the ribbon on MS Office - sm


Posted: May 12, 2015

I need to learn how to use the ribbon at the top on the Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Powerpoint).  Does anyone know of a site that teaches this. 

I have used MS Office probably since it was first created.  I tested in the 90s in each of them awhile back, but have been using 2003. I can do everything in that version, but the version with the ribbon I feel like I've never used the products before.

Anyway...does anyone know of a site to learn the functions of the ribbon.

Thanks,

 

I just googled what I needed to know and - got my answer.

Sometimes it would give me a you tube video and that helped too. For instance, I needed to change my spacing, my font, some preferences and I just googled it specifically for Office 2013 and I found what I was looking for, not really a specific web site.

Thanks. I have done that on a couple issues, but I need to learn - all the ribbon functions

so when I'm asked to do something I'm not looking like a dufus. LOL

I'll keep searching. I did find some videos but they were so basic, like how to open and close. Then found some instructions as to how the ribbon was designed. Will keep checking around.

My library offers multiple one-on-one tutor - sessions. sm

A tutor at the library helped me with Excel. Also, check your library's website for online computer classes. Worth a shot anyway.

Same stuff as before, just on the ribbon. - sm

It is the same stuff that was available before. Just click on them and see what they do. Microsoft has excellent online help documents, training, and videos.

Need To Convert From Office 2013 To Office 2010
Apr 26, 2014

I'm starting with a new company next week.  My Windows 7 PC has Office 2013 Professional.  The new company's platform is only compatible with 2010 or earlier.  I don't have the money to spend on 2010, so I'll either have to decline the offer or try to find a way to install 2010 cheaply.  I thought I might be able to download a version for free, since it's not the newest version, but it doesn't look like I can do that.  Any ideas? ...

VR Learning
Aug 05, 2011

In a training on EditScript today, we were told in editing a report to change the whole word that is wrong, not just change on letter, for example, if it puts sever and the word is supposed to be severe, to change the whole word, not just add the e.  The trainer said that the system learns better that way.  So my question is, and I would have asked her if I had thought of it at the time, does VR learn when we use word expansions.  Is it learning from the keystrokes we use or from ...

I Hate Learning This Way

I wish somebody would figure out a way to train new hires other than setting them down with only a few hours training and letting them type their entire shift without a word from anyone, only to have QA come in the next morning and correct all the reports. I hate learning this way, I do something wrong, spell something about the facility wrong, all night long only to learn the next day that it is wrong. It is such a waste of my and my QAs time to do it this way, it sucks. And heaven forbid you h ...

Is there any coder out there who has 'self-taught' themselves and successfully passed the CCS and working?  I'm an MT whose so ready to change to coding, but keep putting it off schooling due to being financially strapped (as MT'ing just barely pays the simple bills.....nothing more).  I also think being an MT will put me at an advantage in learning coding than someone 'off the street'/no knowledge of any facet of the medical field.  Any thoughts? ...

It Doesn't Seem Like Anyone Is Learning
Mar 25, 2014

This is a two-sided message. It is painfully obvious that no one is learning anything from having failed audits. This being said, I think there are a few sides to this. First, the error weights are harsh for a lot of small errors. Second, the error weighs are not harsh enough for other errors. Third, and most importantly, no one seems to be taking the time to learn anything from the audits/feedback in order to improve themselves and their work, which leads me to what I would do if ...
