Microsoft Office projects (5)

It is recommended that you complete each project from the Microsoft Office 2003 workbook; however, the following assignments must be submitted for a grade. If you are using Microsoft Office 2007, you will be able to complete the same assignments. I do not have the Office 2007 version on all the computers I use for work, so I do ask that you save your file as a 1997-2003 version before submitting your assignments.
