Microsoft Excel, Question

Seems I'm a bit of a prehistoric reptile as far as computer programs go . Never had to learn it or use it. And a lot of jobs require/ask for it. Makes a huge difference in pay, I've discovered.

I'm signing up for a night class at the library that is teaching Excel 2007. after I get my library card tomorrow.

My question is, is there a difference in Excel 2007 & newer versions of Excel, or will I be able to adapt if I get tested on it on a job interview?

Inquiring minds wanna know.

*pokes Jags*

Definitely run through the newer version once you are adept at 2007. It's a somewhat different interface.

+1 on the open office. Does everything I need for free. Unless the microsoft program is a job requirement of course.

I find the newer Excell version to be a PITA when it comes to looking for specific commands. A lot of the speciality menus only appear when on certain tabs. The comands are there but they just are harder to find. Frequently, Excel will assume that you are done with a command and turn off the special pull down menu and then you have to go look for it again. Once you use it frequently its gets less bad but still it slow me down comparted to 97.

Mission accomplished, I'm signed up for the class.

BB, thanks for the link, I will do that after I'm done, which is May 23.

I have Office.org (thanks to BB, again), I'll check it out. Are they similar? (Haven't even looked at it yet, just got home, mowed the grass, took out the Murph, working on dinner).

A lot of the job listings say "Microsoft Excel". So I'm pretty sure that's where I have to be. But, if Office will give me some practice, too, that's cool.

Worked breakfast at the diner, did OK in tips.

This really blows, but I'm peddling as fast as I can.

You go girl....we are here for ya....

Gotta love Rodney, Gamma .. glad you like him

The Devil knows I'm there...but I'm not down yet, or totally on fire.

Go for it Eileen! You can do it.

Thanks, Dennis & Judy. Thank you very, very much.

Thanks, Jags, I'll do that.

Is 2010 on a blue back ground, and you have to click on a multi colored box in the upper left hand corner to access the print functions? If so, I'm using it alittle bit for accepting dispatches, billing info, and warranty work from different manufacturers on their web sites. Hay, maybe I know more than I think I do

"Hay, maybe I know more than I think I do"
This would not surprise me a bit.
Like Jags suggests, doing is the best medicine.

I'll take what ever medicine I can to cure this mess, thanks Dave !

Hang in there Dixie you can do it!

You guys are the best

Played with Dixie last night & tonight, did some showmanship patterns, and just worked with her. Felt great, been a while. She, on the other hand, looked at me like "you're talking to me?" I said yes, I am. She changed her tune pretty quickly

How did a LI girl learn to like Country Music - took me 40 years to get mine hooked?

When cow girls become your best friends........

Dixie, as others have said, you will be fine. Once you know Excel, the only thing that has changed significantly is where Microsoft put it.

The folks at this website are as nice and helpful as the ones here. Free signup and great knowledge.
