Business Cards in 90 seconds

Posted By: Tina Wood | Jun 10th @ 1:02 PM
Doug Thomas is back with another edition of Office Casual and this time he shows us how to make our own business cards in 90 seconds or less.  Well, he at least attempts to show us how to make business cards in 90 seconds or less.  Had he strategically placed the printer next to him instead of down the hall I think he would have made it.  Smiley

Microsoft Trivia - Gates: Easy

Posted By: Tina Wood | May 19th @ 2:52 PM
Okay, I love trivia. I'm a bit of a sucker for it.  I don't like researching the trivia and creating the trivia nearly as much as I like trying to guess the answers to the trivia.  Anyway, I've gone through and found some questions and now I will be presenting them to you.  Most of them have to do with Microsoft.  Shocker!  I will also rate their degree of difficulty in the title as well.  Easy, Medium and Hard are a really boring way to do this but that's what I'm sticking with as I can't think of any cooler way to do it.

Microsoft Trivia - Sales:  MEDIUM

Office Intervention - Power Point Make-Over

Posted By: Tina Wood | May 7th @ 8:02 PM
Have you ever tried to build a Power Point Deck and at the beginning you were really, really excited because you knew that your presentation would just mesmorize your audience but then when you actually got into it, you realized you had NO clue what you were doing.  I've done that...over and over and over.  Which is why I was super excited when our next Office Intervention adventure was going to be with Power Point.  Courtney is a law student who has a presentation due and needs some serious help.  Julie is our expert and well, the rest is History.  If you missed Office Intervention - I need a job make sure to check it out too.

Microsoft Trivia - Sales - Medium

Posted By: Tina Wood | Apr 21st @ 9:43 AM
Okay, I love trivia. I'm a bit of a sucker for it.  I don't like researching the trivia and creating the trivia nearly as much as I like trying to guess the answers to the trivia.  Anyway, I've gone through and found some questions and now I will be presenting them to you.  Most of them have to do with Microsoft.  Shocker!  I will also rate their degree of difficulty in the title as well.  Easy, Medium and Hard are a really boring way to do this and I would love to steal from Halo but I figure the channel 10 gang and community is creative enough to come up with its own rating system.  I just can't seem to think of anything at the moment.  Let me know if you have any suggestions.  I will be posting a couple of these each week.  And yes, they do get more interesting.  Smiley

Posted By: Tina Wood | Apr 15th @ 10:25 AM

Doug Thomas from the Office team is at it again.  This time in his Office Casual series he explains how to work with ribbon.  Did you know that the interface used in Office programs before 2007 were designed way back in 1992?  I didn't either, but it's something Doug learned while researching the Office 2007 interface, the ribbon. He also offers up some links to the interactive guides mentioned in this video below. 

Links.  Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, and Outlook. Or find them all here.

You can check out more videos with Doug Thomas on the Office site.
