PC Class for Beginners
― for the efficient functioning of the Secretariat ―
A PC class is being held at the Meguro UNESCO Office on Saturday afternoons
for the members who want to participate more actively in UNECO activities
by learning how to use PCs. The class starts at 13:00, lasting about
two hours. The first aim of the lesson is to help beginners learn how to
send and receive e-mail, how to retrieve information from the Internet,
and how to use Word and Excel as well as Ichitaro. Anyone interested
