We live in a wonderful time.
The internet. Blogging. People give of their knowledge so freely these days.
No more is learning strictly done in the classroom or through books alone. For those of us that use the Microsoft Office applications, these people should be praised. We salute you!
I found a few places that offer free training and I want to share them with you. There are also some great resources that I’m including as well. They are a mix for the different versions. Please note this post was published in 2008.
