A Webinar with Wayne Kliman

We’ve all heard that Word 2007 is considerably different from Word 2003, the workhorse most of us have been using for lo these many years (well, at least the past four or five). Some of us have already made the leap, while others are waiting to take the plunge.

Wayne Kliman is a technical writer and instructor who will make your transition to Word 2007 as painless as possible by using keyboard shortcuts and the Quick Access Toolbar to make commands readily accessible, rather than threading through the multi-tabbed Ribbon. Wayne will also cover some of Word’s new features and capabilities that we, as technical communicators, can put to good use to enable us to work more efficiently.

So, shorten the Word 2007 learning curve-all from the comfort of your own home.

About our speaker:

Wayne Kliman teaches Microsoft Word as an Adjunct Instructor for Santa Barbara Community College (SBCC). He’s worked as a technical writer and editor since 1995 and is past president of the Santa Barbara STC chapter.

Wayne presented his "Moving to Word 2007: Easing the Transition" Webinar to the STC Technical Editing SIG in the fall of 2008. The SIG’s enthusiastic response led us to ask Wayne to reprise his webinar for the benefit of SWO members. Soft copies of Wayne’s handouts will be available after the webinar.
