Efficiency for All of Us from Training Dept.

Richard Mott offers some real help in saving time when using Microsoft applications:

When using software such as Microsoft Office applications, it’s always a kick to find a quicker, more efficient way of doing things. I’d like to share demonstrations of a couple of such tips. The first is a quicker way to find City employee e-mail addresses in Outlook by using the Check Names button.

The second has been a lifesaver for me in working with Microsoft Word. Formatting in Word can drive me crazy, especially when I’m mixing numbered lists with bullets and/or regular text. No matter what I do, sometimes I can’t seem to get the darn things to line up right. Learning how to use the Format Painter has been a big help in solving some of those headaches. Check out either one of these “Quick and Dirty Tech Tutorials” if you think they may be helpful.

What computer software tips have you discovered that have helped you be more efficient? Let me know if you would like to share them with others (rmott@coj.net or 630-2407).
