Introduction to MS Windows
This class is ideally suited for the beginner or as a refresher using the
Windows environment. The focus of this class is on using the normal controls
in Windows – the mouse, drop-down menus and short cuts. In this class you
will learn to use the mouse, when to use the right mouse button or the left
mouse button, when to single click and when to double click. Work with
dialog boxes, move them around the screen and resize.
You will build proficiency by operating several application programs –
WordPad, Paint, and Calculator. Explore the purpose of the other programs –
MS Word, MS PowerPoint, MS Excel, MS Access and maybe the Internet. Learn
the consistencies within Windows Programs.
