Use Handwriting Recognition 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

This feature of Use handwriting recognition is available in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean language versions of Microsoft Office. Because handwriting recognition is not installed by default in all of these languages, one may need to install it separately. Write as one naturally does on a paper surface, using cursive style, printing, or a combination of both. As the user writes, enter entire words without pausing after each letter, and leave space between words.

Troubleshoot Handwriting Recognition 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

This feature of Troubleshoot handwriting recognition is available in the Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean language versions of Microsoft Office. Because handwriting recognition is not installed by default in all of these languages, one may need to install it separately.

Compare Document Versions More Easily 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

If one has ever worked with multiple copies of a document that have been reviewed or modified by different people (or worse yet, one had to merge those document copies into a single document), one already know that working with different versions of the same document is a challenge. Even if one positions the documents next to one another on the screen, it can be difficult keeping track of where one is in each document. Using the Compare Side by Side toolbar in Microsoft Office Word 2003 makes document comparisons easier because one can view the differences between two documents without having to merge them into a single document.

The easiest for the user may be the quickest - press ALT and then click after one selects the word or phrase one want.

Getting the Job With Office: Sending Mail to Contacts 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

One has their new business suit and the resume, and one is ready to start interviewing. Once the user has entered the names and addresses of potential employers into the contacts list, the next step is to create a short, polite cover letter and mail this with one's resume. One can use Outlook and Word to make the cover letter process easy. One can even use Outlook to keep track of which potential employers one has sent the letter to (so that one doesn't accidentally send the same letter twice). Finally, one can set a reminder to follow up with a postcard a few weeks later.

Organize Your Computer Files in Five Steps 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

What happened to the paperless office? The author generates more paper now than he ever did before the advent of the computer! Even so, a computer's hard disk drive can get just as cluttered as one's desktop. With seemingly limitless storage capacity, it's easy to create piles of files on the computer. Fortunately, the following steps will help the user file the documents more logically and find them more easily.

Create a Password Reset Disk 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

As an administrative assistant, does one find it difficult to keep track of the many passwords that one needs to access the computers in the office? Do employees come for help when they forget a password? Prepare for a forgotten password with this easy solution: create a password reset disk. The password reset disk is an indispensable tool that stores a copy of a password in an encrypted format that no one can read. If one is unable to enter the correct password at the Welcome screen, one can insert the disk and create a new password.

Set Up User Accounts 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

In some offices, more than one person uses the same computer. Every person who uses a computer should have a unique user account that is accessed with a private password. Each computer user can then view private files and e-mail, or personalize the desktop with favorite colors and photos. Of course, the best reason to set up individual user accounts is security. As an administrative assistant, one might have the job of setting up user accounts on a computer. This task might include establishing an account for one's self on that computer so that one can install new software or perform other administrative tasks. Follow these steps to set up user accounts and create passwords on a computer.

Use Tools to Gain Client Mindshare 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

Company executives and managers initially give new consulting projects top priority. But to keep a project on track, consultants still need to attract and maintain the participation of all key project participants. Gaining client mindshare, in which the project is at the forefront of the client's priorities, is necessary to give one the access one need to the client's organization, allowing the projects to reach successful completion. Without client mindshare, communication channels break down, leading to a more difficult, or delayed, project. And if one is unable to maintain client mindshare at the executive level, other staff members may feel that participation in the project is no longer a high priority. If that happens, one's chances for success become severely compromised.

Create and Save Test Templates 2007-12-01 Microsoft Tips

Does one find themselves developing new tests at the end of each unit or project? Or trying to find a copy of the old test so that one can update it for this year? Templates are perhaps one of the best timesavers available to educators today. From award certificates to restroom passes, templates can reduce the amount of paperwork that teachers must do. One can design tests and other assessments tools by using templates that one creates to match the teaching style. Using templates created in Microsoft Office Word 2003 involves a different approach. Instead of opening the saved handout itself, one creates a document based on the handout template.
