IT @ the office



Computers are a vital ingredient of modern life and an inherent part of an assistant’s daily work. MS Office is therefore probably not unfamiliar to you, but you sometimes find yourself wondering if there are certain things you could do better, differently, smarter or faster. For example, you may ask yourself:

  • I use MS Office on a daily basis, but I’m sure there’s certain things I could do faster and more efficiently.
  • How can I avoid doing double work, and how can I make certain tasks easier for myself?
  • I have a question regarding MS Office 2007: who can help me out?
  • How can I use MS Outlook efficiently?
  • How can I work better with specific documents / formats?

In the theme, IT @ the office, we give you a overview of our "Software knowledge" section. In this section we try to supplement your current knowledge with need-to-know information and time-saving tips, all of them focused on administrative support personnel and their daily responsibilities. Using print screens and concrete examples we give you the know-how on how you can work faster and smarter with Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook. You'll be amazed by the many possibilities for creative, smarter and more professional uses for MS Office!
