2008-2009 Computer Applications 7 & 8

Final Alert

This is from the Final Guy... (the Quiz Guy's cousin)

Part 1 of the Final looks like a winner! A little Q & A and a little practical all in one. Also, looks like first part will be on Word and part two will be PowerPoint Excel.

I hope you all know which keys are which...

I will give you a document that has some questions to answer and then the same document to be formated according to directions.

Easy stuff—don't stress...

That's all the hints for tonight about tomorrow's test.
—The Final Guy

Who EARNED 101 on the Final?

Ted Lim. That's who!

CONGRATULATIONS TED! I'm so proud and impressed!

—Mr. Ribaudo
