You are invited to the next meeting of the Washington Area Computer
User Group (WAC), scheduled on Saturday, September 18th from 12:30 PM
to 3:30 PM at the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI), 4210
Roberts Road, Fairfax, Virginia. The meeting is free and open to the
public. Preregistration is not required to attend.

At the September meeting, WAC member Walter Fraser will demonstrate
the initial steps required to design and implement a sensible,
flexible and robust name and address listing with the Microsoft Access
2007 database application. Access supports designing, building and
managing meaningful, flexible, editable databases. This presentation
will provide a good starting place for beginners building and using
their own custom databases.

During the Learn 30 tutorial session, learn how to take the tedium out
of formatting your word processing documents by using the built-in
styles feature. WAC member Geof Goodrum will use OpenOffice.org Writer
to show how using styles can make your documents look more
professional, and automate building table of contents, captioning
figures and tables, and creating numbered section headings. These
techniques are also applicable to Microsoft Word.

WAC is a non-profit general interest computer user group that supports
the Microsoft Windows and GNU/Linux operating systems. For more
