Course Description
How can a word processing program eliminate errors in writing? What are some ways to make in-class presentations more interesting and interactive? In Introduction to OpenOffice Applications, students investigate OpenOffice Writer and OpenOffice Impress, the OpenOffice.org™ word processing and presentation applications, and discover the benefits of using the OpenOffice environment. With OpenOffice Writer, students create, save, and customize Writer documents to complete class assignments and perform real-world tasks. Students learn document management, how to edit and proofread documents, and how to change the appearance of text. By producing and managing presentations in OpenOffice Impress, students learn how to create custom templates and handouts and display data effectively. Students even learn how to add sounds, animations, and interactive elements to their presentations. After completing this course, students are prepared to use Write and Impress to complete academic assignments.
