Hi Eleanor,I know there is a cost but CathyAnne is a trainer of some note. I have wentthrough her course just to gage quality and I can safely say you only get what you pay for. CathyAnne walks you through each bit of Windows 7 andOffice 2007 elements. There's also online tests you can take and CathyAnneis available for any email and phone questions. So it's not just the training materiels you get for your money. Her course comes in various text formats, MP3 and Windows Media Video (for people who have some useful site). It's up to yourself but I highly recommend her course.

I did not realise it was a course costing a few hundred dollars. Thought it might just have been some info about Windows 7.
