The first class of the New Year on “Knowing your Computer” was held at the Interstate 35 Communications building on Jan. 12. There were several of us there and even some new faces. This lesson was Intro to Microsoft Word. I thought this class, like the others, was really good. The instructor taught me things I didn’t know how to do on the computer and shortcuts in doing them. We have a very nice instructor that INS sends to us and he is very patient with all our questions.
