Workshop Topics Described
PrintMaster Q&A: Did you not quite get the hang of a technique in PrintMaster greeting cards program? This is your chance to have another go! (or to try it before taking the course).
Greeting Cards in Word: If you don’t have a dedicated Card making program you can create half-fold cards using Microsoft Word. Find out how.
Irfanview: This free program is a very fast browser/viewer for images of all types. It can also create simple slide shows and do simple picture editing. Try it for yourself.
Cut, Copy and Paste: How to remove, relocate and duplicate areas of text (or other file content) by a range of methods.
Photo Story: This free program from Microsoft allows you to create slide shows with captioning, a wide range of transition effects, and background music. Bring your own photos on a flash drive to create a personal show!
Files and Folders: How to create and manipulate dedicated storage areas within your computer’s hard drive for easy cataloguing of your data.
PowerPoint Slideshows: Microsoft’s presentation program can easily make slideshows which can be viewed with the free PowerPoint Viewer. Find out how.
Sticky Labels in Word: In this session you will learn to design and print sticky labels for addresses and identification – or just to look pretty!
Emailing Photos: There are several tricks to sending photos – especially to non-broadband equipped friends. Learn them in this workshop
Collage using Word: You can do a photographic collage using Microsoft Word, instead of an expensive photography program. This is your chance to find out how.
Jazzy Emails: This is a follow-up workshop to the Email course, and lets you play with the background of your email message and shows how to add sound bites to it.
Care for Your Computer: Like any office, your computer’s storage can become cluttered with old unwanted material and disorganized filing. This workshop demonstrates the facilities within Windows to rectify these problems.
The Edgex Website: This is a social networking site specifically for Ipswich residents which has been created by QUT, ICC and UQ. You can put your full sized photos and slideshows on it, thus bypassing email attachment size limitations. We have created a ‘private’ group for SeniorNet within this site, and these sessions will give you a better idea of how to exploit the opportunities in this area.
