[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 693566, member: 1963"] I was able to teach myself enouogh of whatever flavor of Excel was being used in 97. Powerpoint was easy. Where I needed help desperately was with Access, the database software included in MS Office. My boss at that that time was a whiz with Access. I walked into his office one day while was finishing up creating a report in access and said, "Teach me!" He did. I never became brilliant with it, but I could get by. He also taught me Access' big brother, SQL. Again, never became a genius with it, but I was able to build a basic SQL server for a knowledge base system. (with ongoing help) If I can learn Access and SQL with the help of someone knowledgeable, you can pick up a free MS Office class and learn Word and Excell. There's lots of free/minimal cost stuff out there for middle-aged women either rejoining hte work force or trying to advance in it Summer's plenty of time to take those classes. (And let your kids learn to fend for themselves.) [/QUOTE]
