*** MS Office 365 is used for all assignments in this course.***

This class does NOT cover MS 0ffice 2003, 2007, 2010, 2013 or 2016. If you do not have access to MS Office 365, fortunately, Microsoft offers students a free version of Office 365 so long as you are in school. For more information on Office 365 for free, checkout the Web page at http://products.office.com/en-us/student/office-in-education.

It is possible to get through this course with different versions of MS Office (except MS Access), however, students will be responsible for any differences in the layout of the program, and those differences do not constitute an excuse for missing, incorrect, incomplete, or late assignments.

MAC users take note: The book will not always look like a MAC version of Office and you will not be able to complete the MS Access assignments on a MAC...period!

Microsoft offers students a free copy of Office 365 so long as you are a student. For more information checkout Get Office 365 for Free.

Warning: Not all functions are available if you use just the online version of MS Office.
