Secure Online Transactions

Have you been thinking about setting up shop online? Taking your goods and services to the Internet will increase your business potential in many ways.

Introduction Have you been thinking about setting up shop online? Taking your goods and services to the Internet will increase your business potential in many ways. However, e-commerce requires a commitment to securing transactional details, including credit card information from customers. As e-commerce has grown, so have security threats.

Stay Fit While You Sit
Tips for Staying Healthy at Your Desk Job

Do you sit at your desk for long periods of the day? Have you ever experienced back, neck or shoulder pain after a long day at the office? Perhaps you put on a few pounds after taking a desk job. Research has shown that people who work desk jobs are likely to lose muscle tone, experience back pain, gain weight and suffer from increased stress. That's because inactivity, poor posture and bad eating habits tend to plague those who sit at a desk throughout the day.

One study by the American Council on Exercise (ACE) showed that those whose jobs require them to sit at least six hours a day are twice as likely to be overweight as those who sit for less than 45 minutes a day at work. So what can you do to stay fit but keep your desk job?  Check out these tips.


2007 Microsoft
Office
System

Get an introduction to the new look in familiar programs of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Then try out the changes with a hands-on test drive.

  • See how Microsoft Office has changed, and why.

  • Use the Ribbon to do what you're used to doing.

  • See what the new file formats mean to you.

You'll see a lot that's familiar, such as your Word document or Excel worksheet. But you'll also notice a new look at the top of the window.

The old look with menus and toolbars has been replaced by the Ribbon at the top of the window. The Ribbon contains tabs that you click to get to the commands you already know how to use.
