Our expert staff of curriculum developers created a 13 CD-ROM course for Microsoft Office 2000 that will elevate your expertise and prepare you for the Microsoft Office User Specialist Exam. The CD-ROMs include the following exclusive features:

1. While most computer based training courses are one-half or less of your screen, our courses are available in Full Screen Resolution and since they are from our original digital masters, they are of the highest quality. What good is a visual presentation if you have trouble identifying what is on your screen?

2. Full Motion Video and interaction offers you full control of what you see and hear on your screen. If you would like the instructor to repeat what he just said, you simply click on the rewind button and you may listen as often as you like. Each section is also identified with a digital index to help you find your place if you have to pause in the middle of a Lesson.

3. A "Floating Window" will be your guide through the application processes and steps. It acts like the ?Office Assistant? but since we programmed it into the course, it already knows what you are doing and will only offer information that is relevant to what you are doing. It is your companion through the interactive simulations.

4. Notepad lets you record detailed and precise notes during the instruction and is readily available at any time during any course. With a click of a button, you may record as many notes as you like and then resume with the visual presentation.

5. Complete Control of the Video Streams, down to each second of time, enables you to directly go to and from any section of the training series. You may replay any single part or all of the information as many times as you think necessary to grasp the concepts.
