●      Creating and Sending Email

●      Creating a Signature

●      Receiving Email

●      Creating and Maintaining Email Folders

Chapter 3: E-mail Attachments

Sending attachments is one of the most important features of email. An attachment is a digital file that contains information that you wouldn't ordinarily type into the email body. You wouldn't enter a 10-page handbook into a message, but you could attach it as a PDF if you wanted to distribute it to technicians at a remote location.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Email Etiquette

Chapter 4: Additional Outlook Functions

When people think of Outlook, they think of email. However, as you'll see, it has a number of other quite useful features.

Lesson 3: Word: Creating and Formatting Documents

Chapter 1: Introduction

Moving on to the next level, we'll discuss how to use Microsoft Word to produce and edit professional-looking documents. This software is the most widely used program for preparing electronic documents in the corporate world today. A word processor is Microsoft Word. There are plenty different word processors available. Some offer a feature set that is comparable to Microsoft Word's.

Chapter 2: Starting Microsoft Word

The first step in writing a document is to launch the Microsoft Word application. That may appear to be a simple task, but there are several options available, and you should choose the one that best suits your needs. You can utilize a shortcut on your desktop or taskbar or choose Word from the Start button menu.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Getting Familiar With Word

●      Save and Save As

Chapter 3: Managing Files

Now that you've learned a little about saving files, it's time to talk about how to organize them. Figure out a way for naming files and creating and naming folders that works for you as you start creating files in Word. The key to opening and modifying files once your naming scheme is in place is to be aware of which file you've opened.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Editing Documents

Chapter 4: Formatting Basics

The Font group's buttons regulate text style and size, as well as some upgrades like underline, bold, and italic.

Lesson 4: Word: More Advanced Formatting

Chapter 1: Introduction

We'll use some of Word's more complex capabilities to take our documents to the next level.

Chapter 2: Paragraph Formatting

We'll now look at how you can change the appearance of entire paragraphs in your document. Maybe you want to put a paragraph in the middle of your page, or develop a bulleted list to make your content easier to read. You may achieve this using the functions in the Paragraph group on the Home tab, which is just to the right of the Font group.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Aligning and Spacing Paragraphs

●      Bullets and Numbering

Chapter 3: Professional Editing

You may use a variety of tools in Word to rapidly make your papers look professional and vibrant. Even though these tools are simple to use and offer a wide range of options, it's surprising how few people use them. It all boils down to preparation. Templates and Styles are two of these tools.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Templates

●      Styles

●      Removing a Style

Chapter 4: Tables, Graphics, and Finishing Touches

Tables make it easier for readers to understand information, and you can then add pictures to truly grab their attention.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Tables

●      Graphics

●      Spelling and Grammar Check

Chapter 5: Summary

Lists, both bulleted and numbered, are powerful tools for conveying information. The variety of numbering formats can be intimidating at first, but with practice, you'll be able to apply them in your work. Shortcuts to success are Templates and Styles. Use them to create papers fast that might otherwise take too long. Tables are an excellent method to organize and show data.

Lesson 5: Excel: Spreadsheet Basics

Chapter 1: Introduction

Learning Microsoft Excel will help you advance in your career. You can use this program to achieve many fantastic things in the office, regardless of your job function, but few people take the effort to learn how to use it properly. Many people believe, incorrectly, that it is simply too tough to find out.

Chapter 2: Getting Familiar With Excel

When you first launch Excel, it produces a blank spreadsheet. When you first open Excel, you'll find that it uses the same methodology to handle organization as Microsoft Word. Ribbons are accessible by tabs, and groups are contained within ribbons. There are several controls in each group. Many of the tabs, groups, and controls found in Excel are comparable to those found in Word.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Spreadsheet Formatting

●      Text

Chapter 3: Building a Worksheet

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Creating a Title

●      Using AutoFill

●      Adding Formulas

Chapter 4: Columns and Rows

A spreadsheet is essentially a large table, as you can see. Controlling the width of the columns, the height of the rows, and the appearance of any lines between them is an important component of formatting. In this chapter, we'll look at those alternatives. Column widths and row heights must be considered while creating a spreadsheet.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Borders

Chapter 5: Summary

Excel is a spreadsheet program that is specially intended to work with numbers. Many of the options you learned about in Word are available in this program. This makes switching between Office programs a breeze. Spreadsheets, often known as workbooks, are similar to large tables. They have a lot of rows and columns, and a cell is the intersection of two rows and columns.

Lesson 6: Excel: Formatting, Charts, and Printing

Chapter 1: Introduction

The numbers on spreadsheets can grow very complicated at times, making it difficult for readers to understand the information they provide. When this is the case, charts can be used to graphically portray data.

Chapter 2: Adding Rows and Columns

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Calculating Averages

●      Using the Sort Options

Chapter 3: Creating Charts

Excel has a wide range of chart kinds to pick from, as well as several options for each kind. We'll look at two of the most frequent types of charts, discuss why you'd use each one, and then look at how to update existing charts in this course.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Column Charts

Chapter 4: Viewing and Printing in Excel

Excel spreadsheets are a little different from your usual document when it comes to previewing and printing your work. It might be difficult to get everything to print out the way you want it to because they can hold so much information.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Excel Views

●      Printing Spreadsheets

Chapter 5: Summary

You'll probably want to add more information to your spreadsheet as time goes on once you've created it. In most cases, adding data entails inserting rows or columns. You learnt how to do this by selecting one or more rows and columns, then right-clicking and selecting Insert, or using the Insert button on the Home tab's Cells group.

Lesson 7: Access: Database Basics

Chapter 1: Introduction

Databases can be found all over the place. You most likely use them on a daily basis without even realizing it. You connect with a database every time you use your ATM card. A database is used to log into any software, including this course. Databases are used by most businesses for a variety of purposes. Probably the most popular one is a list, sometimes large, of clients and future consumers.

Chapter 2: Database Components

Although a database is basically a table, the various components of a database are referred to by different names. Fields and records are terms used to describe the columns and rows of a database. A rudimentary database can resemble a simple address book.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Creating a Database in Access

Chapter 3: Queries

Query may sound like a technical term reserved for programmers, but it's actually fairly straightforward. A query is nothing more than a request for data from a database. Sort and filter are the two main functions associated with inquiries. Sorting entails arranging items in a specific order. Excel is a database program, yet everyone refers to it as a spreadsheet software.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Inputting Data With Forms

●      Creating Reports

Chapter 4: Database Management

All that's left now is to manage your database after you've created it, named your fields, and created your form. Maintaining data accuracy, preserving data from destruction, and restoring data in the event of a crisis are the three basic components of database management.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Maintaining Data Accuracy

●      Data Protection

●      Data Restoration

Chapter 5: Summary

You learnt a lot about databases in this class. As you can see, we use databases in a variety of ways on a daily basis. A database can be a valuable asset to a corporation depending on the information it includes. We learned that a database is nothing more than a table (or a collection of tables) that stores data in rows and columns.

Lesson 8: PowerPoint: Creating and Editing a Presentation

Chapter 1: Introduction

You've definitely sat through at least one PowerPoint presentation in your life, whether it was a sales pitch, a research presentation, an annual sales report, or a forwarded email attachment. Microsoft's presentation software has become a standard in the modern industry and school due to its ease of use and power.

Chapter 2: Slides

A PowerPoint presentation's basic components are called slides. You're simply producing a series of slides when you make a presentation. You'll tailor the content of each one to match the objectives of the presentation's various stages in a relevant and engaging manner.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Themes

●      Notes

●      Strategies for Effectiveness

Chapter 3: Graphics, Animations, and Audio

Keep in mind that using a PowerPoint presentation rather than merely writing words on a whiteboard has the advantage of allowing you to incorporate images and other media to create a more powerful and relevant message. A presentation can be enhanced with images, animations, and audio, as well as transitions, which determine how the presentation flows from one slide to the next.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Adding Graphics

●      Adding Audio

●      Adding Animation

●      Strategies for Effectiveness

Chapter 4: Presenting, Publishing, and Printing

Chapter 5: Summary

You learned how to make a PowerPoint presentation in Lesson 8. You've seen that there are a variety of slide kinds to pick from, each of which is suited for a specific aspect of your presentation. Of course, you can change the look of every slide by adding, modifying, or removing elements like text boxes and graphics.

Lesson 9: Integrating Microsoft Office Programs

Chapter 1: Introduction

One of the concepts we'll cover is information exchange across programs. On a far larger scale, this is an important topic as well. Companies are constantly looking for new ways to share electronic data. Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI for short, is a term used in several industries to describe data sharing.

Chapter 2: Exporting Data

Sending information out and bringing information in are the two fundamental functions of data sharing. It's called exporting data when we transmit data out of a software. Importing data is the process of bringing data into a program. We'll concentrate on data exporting in this chapter.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Exporting Data From Excel

●      Exporting Data From Access

Chapter 3: Importing Data

Importing data involves putting information into a program that isn't part of the program's normal files. We can bring data into Access that isn't from an Access database file, and we can import data into Excel that isn't from an Excel spreadsheet file. In the 2016 versions of Access and Excel, Microsoft has considerably improved the importing tools, making it easier to import data.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Importing Data to Access

●      Importing Data to Excel

●      Exporting and Importing Wrap-Up

Chapter 4: Mail Merge

A mail merge allows you to send the same letter to multiple persons while also personalizing certain elements of the letter with information relevant to each recipient.

Chapter 5: Summary

We looked at how to link our Microsoft Office products in this class. We basically learned how to transfer data from one program to another. On a larger scale, information sharing, also known as Electronic Data Interchange, can save a lot of time and effort, making it a crucial activity in the workplace.

Lesson 10: Using the Internet

Chapter 1: Introduction

ARPA developed technology that linked important information centers, including several of the country's best colleges, so they could share information quickly. Later, when the technology became more widely used, the government made it available for public use. We now refer to it as the Internet.

Chapter 2: The Browser Window

Many people use Internet Explorer or Firefox from Microsoft. Safari and Chrome are two other popular choices. Each has its own method of organizing its tools, but they all serve the same purpose. Microsoft has released a new browser application named Edge for Windows 10. This is what we'll be using for this lesson. The option to view websites in Internet Explorer is also available in Microsoft Edge.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Getting Around the Web

●      Hyperlinks

●      Navigation Buttons

●      Favorites

●      Tabs

●      Search

●      Printing

Chapter 3: Directories, Search Engines, and Portals

The amount of information available on the Internet is so huge that it seem impossible for us to organize it. How can we know what's out there and where to look for it? A few technologies have emerged to assist through time: directories, search engines, and portals. Each has led to the next, and the portal is actually a combination of all three.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Directories

●      Search Engines

●      Web Portals

Chapter 4: Browser Software and Security

Your browser, whether it's Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Firefox, or something else, is built to read Internet files. You may occasionally visit a site that necessitates the use of special software in order for your browser to open and view all of the files on the page.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Helper Software

●      Plug-Ins

●      ActiveX Controls

●      Cookies

●      Security

●      Pop-Up Windows

Chapter 5: Summary

We looked at the Internet in this lesson. You learnt about browsers and how to do a variety of things online. Our Internet connection is established through the browser window. URLs are used as website addresses. These webpages appear in the browser, and we can have numerous tabs open in one browser using modern browser programs.

Lesson 11: Transferring and Protecting Data

Chapter 1: Introduction

When it comes down to it, working with computers in the office is really just a way of interacting with data. That data could be stored in a database, a spreadsheet, or a document. Graphics, sound files, and other forms of multimedia may also be included.

Chapter 2: Computer Memory and File Sizes

Moving data from one area to another—or, in this case, from one computer to another—is known as data transfer. The size of a file on a computer is measured in bytes. A byte is simply a series of eight bits, and a bit is the most fundamental representation of data.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Transferring Files

●      Compressing Files

●      Extracting Compressed Files

Chapter 3: Networks and External Drives

When the folders are on the same network, another approach to move a file is to simply drag it from one to the other. Local Area Networks, or LANs, and Wide Area Networks, or WANs, are the two most common types of networks you'll encounter. LANs are often located in a single geographic place, whereas WANs are widely dispersed.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Using External Drives

Chapter 4: Security and Maintenance

Computers, like all other equipment, require regular maintenance and care. Viruses, spyware, and normal wear and tear can cause them to malfunction. Let's have a look at a few methods for keeping your computer in good working order.

Topics to be discussed include:

●      Anti-Virus Tools

●      Anti-Spyware Tools

●      Hard Drive Maintenance

Chapter 5: Summary

It's just as crucial to be able to move and share data as it is to be able to manipulate it. As you've seen today, there's a lot to know when it comes to transferring information that's both secure and likely to reach on time. The most common and simplest method of sending computer files to another person is via email. However, we must be cautious about the file sizes we transfer via email.

Lesson 12: Putting Your Skills to Work

Chapter 1: Introduction

It may seem self-evident that you want to find work that will allow you to achieve your life goals. This aspect of your career-choice evaluation, however, is critical. You don't want to choose a professional path early in life that will limit your progress and hinder you from doing the things you want to achieve with your life.

Chapter 2: Using Computer Skills to Get a New Job

In this chapter, we'll go through five different tactics. Three of the five techniques are resume-related. The other two are about job searching and application.
