Hello Fellow WAMUGgers
I hope you are all keeping well and enjoyed your Australia Day. This
is a rather lengthy missive from me. If you want to stop and make a
cuppa before you reading further, please do so. I will wait.
1 MONTHLY MEETINGS
This Tuesday, February 2, 2021, our monthly membership meetings will
start again. Although listed for members if you know of anyone who
wants to join in, just email me via the list when the announcement is
posted to the list.
The Committee is aware online meetings have probably lost their shine
and certainly do not make up for the face to face meetings; however,
the advantage is that any member, regardless of where they live, can
participate.
This month, in response to a member's suggestion, we will be looking
at some basics Apple's Pages and Numbers.
The heavyweight competition of Word vs Pages will include
* Pages as both a word processing and page layout app
* Dealing with Fonts, Bullets & Margins
The middleweight competition of Excel vs Numbers will include
* Entering and sorting data
* Formatting columns
* Adding extras (
* Using the Sum function
After this introduction, we will devote 10-15 minutes to explore
aspects of both applications at each meeting, depending on questions
members send in. So, if you have decided not to renew your Microsoft
description, or just want a bit of a refresher, this could be for you.
2 WAMUG SUBSCRIPTIONS
You will remember we postponed the collection of membership fees
until the bank had sorted things out. Well, the saga continues.
Bernard, our new Treasurer, has been working since the middle of
November to trying to sort things out, but there has been something
new to do at every step. Despite a Royal Commission, an Association
Incorporation Act, and a small membership nothing has been easy. The
principle hold up is online access to the WAMUG account. It could be
the middle of February before things are sorted. So please hang onto
your membership until further notice.
Open to hear my final salutation.
Maureen Smith
President of WAMUG
