Missed a Class? Need to See Some Topics Again?
Remember, all our classes are recorded, and registered students can view the recording anytime in the five business days following the class. If you missed a class you were registered for or even if you attended but just want to see some topics again, this is a great option.
 
Instructions for viewing the recording are included in the confirmation message you receive when you register for a class. You can also call us at 651-705-1289 and we'll walk you through accessing the recording.

New Virtual Classroom Schedule
The course schedules for public classes in the virtual classroom from January through March are now available. The schedule includes a variety of Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Visio, Project, OneNote, and Windows 90 Minute Workouts, as well as several one-on-one application support sessions. See our course catalog for complete descriptions.
 
We currently offer Office 2007 and 2010 classes in our virtual classroom. Be sure to choose the appropriate version when you register.

  1. In Normal or Slide Sorter view, select the slide(s) you want to duplicate.
  2. On the Home tab, in the Slides group, click .
    .
  3. From the menu below the Slide Layout gallery, select Duplicate Selected Slides.
    .
  4. Edit the original and/or duplicate slide(s) as necessary. (You can also move the duplicate slides to another position within the presentation.)
