If you are new to computers or a casual user, please consider seriously taking our WIN XP or WIN VISTA course before taking an MS Office course. This foundation course covers Windows and mouse skills. These skills are required for working with any software on a PC.

You can improve your keyboard skills using any of the free options available on the internet.
