Microsoft Office The Microsoft Office SIG welcomes novice, intermediate and expert users. Each month we will address your issues in Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. If there is a particular issue you would like addressed, please feel free to send an email to Ray Danen and we will put your item on the agenda. Please be sure to put: "Microsoft Office Sig TBCS" in the subject line of the email. It is always so much more fun to learn from each other than it is to study a manual! You will not only find information at this special interest group, but also camaraderie and fun.

Novice We welcome all of the folks just starting into the world of computing. We meet every Tuesday afternoon at the Resource Center. Our emphasis is on word processing, greeting cards, and Internet & e-mail basics. Our additional purpose is to help the novice become computer literate and suggest ways to keep out of trouble. All questions will be answered and treated with respect.

Novice Visual Basic A special SIG for programmers

Photoshop Elements Teaches members  how to use Photoshop to edit and print photos PowerPoint: This SIG explores the many uses of PowerPoint, a software component of Micro Soft Office. It has uses in both personal and business settings that will be explored. You can use it to make a photo album complete with animation and sound, and then put it on a disk that can be used anywhere whether or not the software is loaded on that particular computer (great for gifts or just sharing family events). In your business life you can use the program to create presentations consisting of slides, graphics and animation that will make any meeting more effective and enjoyable (and impress the boss). It will also produce outlines and handouts that support the presentation. The SIG is meant to introduce you to the software if you are a new user, and increase your skill if you are already familiar with it. Publishing Software The Publishing Software SIG uses In-Design software by Adobe to demonstrate professional software publishing techniques.

Scrapbooking: This SIG is all about having fun with photos....exploring software programs, sharing ideas, and showing results of one's creative work.
