Course Title:
Lotus Notes 6 User Update

Duration: 2 days

Course Overview
This course is designed for Notes R5 users who want to learn the most important and useful Lotus Notes® 6 features in the shortest time possible.

Target Audience


This course is designed for proficient Notes R5 users who can:
Start and stop software applications in Microsoft® Windows™;
Use Microsoft Windows Explorer to find and organize files;
Create, format, and print documents using a graphical word processing software package;
Use Microsoft Internet Explorer to browse Web pages and manage a list of "favourite" bookmarks.

If you are new to Notes or think your Notes R5 skills may be rusty, we recommend our Lotus Notes R6 User Essentials course, which assumes no knowledge of Lotus Notes.
