Software training in all Microsoft Office products — including Access, Excel, Outlook PowerPoint, MS Publisher, SharePoint, Visio and Word — is now offered in 2010 versions. To enroll in any of these classes, log into the UCOP Learning Center using your UCOP login and password; search for the class by name, then choose the section you prefer, register and submit.
The Windows 7/Office 2010 migration is related to OP’s move toward Anytime/Anywhere Access, which will allow you to get to your files and other data from almost any location and any device, as long as you’re connected to the network. Information Technology Services is creating a detailed schedule for migrating PC users, by department, to the new software and Anytime/Anywhere Access by February 2015.
