Microsoft today announced that it has released six free new video training courses covering Office basics. They’re available as part of the Office Training Center.
“Like any subject—math, chemistry or video games—even when you understand more advanced concepts, you can stumble over the basics,” the Office team announced. “We looked at what customers struggled with, both novice and expert alike, and Office Basics was born. Whether you work with Excel, Word, PowerPoint or another Office app, you can learn a lot in these short videos, like how to sign in to Office, rename files, add comments or insert hyperlinks.”

<p>I admit I'm bias, having used Access for years but why is it always the red headed step child of office. Nothing complicated. Just a short video showing people how to make a table so you can filter and sort instead of using Excel as a database. </p>
<blockquote><a href="#88855"><em>In reply to Belralph:</em></a></blockquote><p>That has always been the case and not just with Access. I used to develop with dBase and taught classes on it. Most people wanted to use a spreadsheet for a database then also. Never understood that. </p>
<blockquote><em><a href="#88919">In reply to lwetzel:</a></em></blockquote><p>What's a database – you mean a WordPerfect or Excel table? Sorry for the joke guys, but half our office still feels a mail-merge is better handled in the these, or even their hobby collection list…</p>
<p>It is promoting LinkedIn Learning. Interesting though is trying to find out what it would cost to take a course. Apparently you will have to take the one month free and then see what they charge for the second month.</p><p><br></p><p>But then again there is Lynda.com which is owned by LinkedIn.</p>
