Sharing Recipes the Easy Way, with your PC
Are you constantly being asked to share recipes when you bring dishes & deserts to potlucks?
Have you run out of photocopies of your favorite cake recipe?
Would you like to give handmade cookies as gifts this season but daunted by the thoughts of handwriting dozens of recipe cards?
In honor of the impending holiday season, attendees to this session are encouraged to bring cookies or a desert to share and the recipe used to create the confection.
Organizing Your Holiday Card List on your PC
Are you dreading the holiday card season because you need to search through 3 old address books and last year's envelopes just to find everyone's name and address?
Let us help you greet the season with composure by organizing all of your contact information in Excel. We will cover best practices of data entry (why you want to separate first and last names), how to sort and rearrange your information and how to export the information to Word to allow the easy creation of address labels.
