One of the goals of CS 101 is to ensure that you can make effective use of the software applications available at Saint Michael's. Effective in the Fall of 2000, we'll be using the most recent version of this office suite, MS Office 2000. However, Office 2000 adds some new features and exciting new capabilities that make it much easier for you to publish documents on the World Wide Web. As you perform each project, you'll learn the basic techniques you'll need to get started with these applications. The Illustrated Projects text is a concise and inexpensive way to get started with Office 2000.
