This class is hands-on. Students must bring a laptop (and mouse) with an installed, licensed copy of MS Office in a version no older than 2013 with them to class.  Please ensure that Microsoft Excel is working properly and that your laptop has downloaded and incorporated the latest Windows updates prior to class.  All students will receive sample files which will be emailed within a week prior to class. Please download those practice files to your laptop prior attending, if at all possible. During class, the accompanying home handouts will be distributed for continued practice.

The course will be presented in MS Office 365 on a Windows platform.  Those using a Mac will notice a few differences with course material presented in Windows.
