Your tech team says it’s time to replace your computer and poof!  One day there’s a shiny new computer on your desk and everything you’re used to seeing is different.  Train.msu.edu/lynda to the rescue!

With the University’s access to Lynda.com, you can get basic or advanced training on many software programs you use every day.  In the course Word 2010 New Features, you can watch a 3 minute video on the differences between Word 2007 and Word 2010.   Did you know you can customize the ribbon of tools at the top of your screen with the options or even Macros you use most?   Editing images in your Word documents is easier, too.  Word 2010 moves the image editing tools right into your document, from cropping the image to touching it up without ever leaving your document.Continue Reading… My tech team just installed a new computer at my desk, now what do I do?

OneNote – your own electronic TrapperKeeper®

Published on by MSU Human ResourcesLeave a comment

Remember TrapperKeepers®?  Before backpacks became the norm for students to carry everything, there were TrapperKeepers.  One big spiral notebook that snapped closed so papers could not fall out and contained folders and dividers so you could keep all of your school notes in one handy place.

OneNote is part of most Microsoft Office Desktop software packages and is kind of an online TrapperKeeper.  This program allows you create notebooks for projects, meetings, tasks or just screenshots of web pages.   Create a notebook, then add headings and notes, insert  a screen capture from any program on your computer, add audio, video, and other files from your computer or use a screen capture in a document, Outlook emails and meeting requests.    Trapper KeeperContinue Reading… OneNote – your own electronic TrapperKeeper®
