Technical Considerations
Melissa Esquibel will perform some functions live in Excel during the webinar. You will need to check system compatibility prior to attending the conference (follow instructions in your Registration confirmation email). It is recommended you dial in well in advance of the start time to ensure you will get the full visual benefit. The class will be taught from Excel 2007. However, users of 2010 will get equal benefit. Users of earlier versions 97- 2003 will also benefit, however additional information may be required. You will be asked what version of the software you are using in the Question and Answer period and Melissa will be happy to adjust her answers to suit the version you are using.
