Overview
This course serves as a quick reference to features added or improved since Office 97 and guides students through the transition process.
Prerequisites
Students enrolling in this course should be comfortable in the Windows environment. They should have completed one of the following courses: Windows 95: Introduction, Windows 98: Introduction, or Windows NT 4.0: Introduction, or have equivalent knowledge. In addition, this course assumes that students have a working knowledge of Microsoft Office 97.
Target Student
It is recommended that students have introductory-level knowledge of at least two of the three core Office applications (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint), and also have familiarity with an Internet browser, such as Internet Explorer. This course does not assume that students have experience with the Office 2000 versions of these applications
Performance-Based Objectives
Lesson objectives help students become
comfortable with the course, and also provide a means to evaluate
learning. Upon successful completion of this course, students
will be able to:
- Use and customize components of the
interface common to all Office 2000 programs, including
the Office Assistant and online Help, adaptive menus and
toolbars, and common dialog boxes.
- Use new features of Word 2000, Excel 2000,
and PowerPoint 2000 that make it faster and easier to
perform everyday tasks.
- Use new and improved features across the
suite, including the Clipboard toolbar, ClipArt Gallery,
and email tools.
- Complete basic Web authoring tasks in
Office 2000, including saving, previewing, and managing
HTML files; create Web documents in each Office program
that take advantage of new features related to Web
authoring.
Delivery Method
Instructor led, group-paced, classroom-delivery learning model with structured hands-on activities.
What's next
Students who want to learn specific features of any of the Office 2000 applications can take individual Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, or FrontPage courses. Each application is covered by multiple levels of courseware. If students are interested in learning how to work more efficiently by using the integration features of Office 2000 applications, you can recommend a course such as Microsoft Office 2000: Document Integration. Students who want to learn additional new features at an advanced level can take Microsoft Office 2000: Web Components and Collaboration.

Hardware/software Requirements
Hardware: A 486-compatible PC that meets
minimum hardware requirements for Windows 95 or later or Windows
NT 4.0 or later (a Pentium 90 with 32 MB (megabytes) of RAM or
better is recommended); 425 MB of free hard-disk space (Windows
NT only: at least 4 MB of available space in the Registry);
either a local CD-ROM drive or access to a networked CD-ROM
drive; a floppy-disk drive; a VGA or higher display adapter (the
EGA display adapter is not supported); and a two-button mouse or
IntelliMouse. Printers are not required, though a printer driver
is needed. See your reference manual for hardware considerations
that apply to your specific hardware setup.
Software: A typical installation of
Microsoft Windows 95 or later, or Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 with
Service Pack 3 or higher installed. A full-suite installation of
Microsoft Office 2000 is needed, including custom installations

Converters And Filters. Each PC must have an installed printer
driver to use Print Preview.
Note: This course was developed using
the Windows 98 platform; however, the manufacturer’s
documentation states that Office 2000 can also run on Windows 95
or Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 or higher installed, though
some of the screen displays might be slightly different.
