In step-by-step demonstrations, Instructor Irasema Perrot guides beginning to advanced users through the features of Access 2010. Access is such a useful program: it allows you to organize your data into neat, easy-to-use databases. You can find specific information in your database by creating and running searches called queries. If you've already started using the program and want more information, here are some of the most frequently asked questions regarding Access 2010. Also, make sure to take advantage of our free previews on how to get started using Access.

Tip: If you're using Access to store people's information, such as addresses, running a query can be a great way to pull up information for people you want to send holiday cards to. It's easy to make labels from your query results—say goodbye to hours of sorting through your client/contacts/family info and handwriting or typing up labels. With Access, you've already got the information set up and ready to use whenever you may need it.

Welcome, Word 2010!

After a three year wait, the newest version of Microsoft Word is finally here! Discover the new layout of Word 2010, with the return of the File tab (which you may remember from Word 2003) in place of the 2007 Office button.

With this newest version of Word, you can create professional, high quality documents, perfect for personal and business use. Word 2010 has all sorts of new and improved tools to enhance your documents, including:

• The ability to add formatting effects like gradient fills and reflections directly to your document text (the same effects you may have previously used for pictures, charts, and SmartArt graphics)

• New picture editing tools, including advanced color and cropping tools to perfect your document pictures

• Customizable Office themes to ensure the look of your document is consistent—you can even add your personal or business brand to your theme, giving your documents that much more of a professional edge

• A wide selection of SmartArt graphics, including additional layouts for charts and picture diagrams, to add an extra visual effect to your message

Word’s improved layout makes it even easier to navigate the program. You can recover draft versions of files that you closed without saving—that’s right, no more panic over losing a document!—and you can work with others on documents and projects with new co-authoring capabilities.

Get familiar with these new features and more at KnowledgeCity.com—we have training tutorials for beginning and advanced users, so you can learn all about how to use Word 2010. Coming soon are more of the new Office Suite, including PowerPoint 2010 and Access 2010.
