Is there a tutorial for Office 2003 that goes over the basics?

[JulieGBS]

Is there a tutorial that exists for Microsoft Office Basic Edition 2003 that
simply goes over the basics? I am looking for some type of tutorial or
manual that someone at the high school level could understand.

JulieGBS,
You can use the Office Training page here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/default.aspx
Search for training exercises and tutorials by application in the "Browse
Training Courses" section. There are many for each.

Hello again, Chris.
Although your information was quite helpful, my problem is that the students
who will be using Office 2003 do not have access to the internet. For most
of these students, this is the first time they are using Office products, so
they are starting fresh. Where can I find good, basic Office documentation
for first time users (Word, Access, Excel, and PowerPoint)? Is there
something I can download and copy to the student computers that would give a
basic Intro to Office course? Are there any good books out there that I
could buy that would do the trick?

Thanks again,
Julie

JulieGBS,
Thanks for the claification on your needs. Since most Office 2003 System
help is online at the Office Online site the internet connection would be
needed for best results.
An option for you:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/Books/default.asp
educators page:
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/educator/default.asp
Did not go any further on the education page link, but there is sure to be
special pricing for academic use.
There are most likely cd's available that can be installed on each machine
for reference, if not be sure that any book(s) you purchase have an
interactive disk included, you should be able to install this disk on any
machine.
Hope this helps.
