Did you know you could save all open documents by just holding down the shift key when selecting the File menu? Yeah, Save turns into Save All (okay not in Word 2007 it appears)! Web Worker Daily has six more tips in their article:
Many of us writerly types spend a lot of time in Microsoft […]

Just when you thought applying to college, university, grad school couldn’t get any worse:
Now talk about stereotypes. So are they now encouraging geeks to try business out? But I doubt if PowerPoint would be the geek’s primary weapon of choice. Perhaps a bit of Flash presentations should be in order. However, it is quite encouraging […]

Outlook continues to drive us all batty. I’ve just upgraded to a newer machine and while it might not be the speediest beast on the planet, the 2 gigs of RAM makes everything run better including Outlook. But I digress.

Here’s a book that’s on my wish list now. As much as I have a love-hate relationship with Excel, it’s also an app I know has far more potential to it. I don’t think of myself as an expert, but watching folks struggle with it makes me wonder why all the power has been made […]

I jumped on the Office 2007 bandwagon pretty early. Not right away, but I knew I would like it from the early betas. One problem, though, is that Office 2007 started using XML-based format. Great for Office 2007 users (the file sizes are much smaller), bad if you work with the rest of the world […]

Funny … but so true:
All kidding aside, this is all excellent advice. Slides with too much information, too many bullet points, animations, or bizarre color schemes force people to focus on your presentation and not you. Remember you are giving the presentation, not the screen. This isn’t a movie, it’s a talk. Sure if […]

Salesforce.com
Zoho office
Basecamp

Did you know public speaking is the number one fear of many people? Even more than some things like falling and dying. Really, I’m serious. I have friends who’d rather be thrown into a vat of starved leeches than have to give a talk or presentation. Via Lifehacker here are some tips for better presentations:
