Nearly into 2012 but what was new in 2010

Over the last year we have trained many people in the usual day to day and more advanced use of Microsoft Office in Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint and Access in versions of Office from XP to 2010.

On many occasions when we train on a computer using Office 2010 or 2007 we find that the user has not had the time to investigate the new functionality which these programs come with. This does not pose a problem because whilst we are training on the particular topics required we are able to point out these new options.


Sniff out our offer!
We are offering you a Christmas Present this year to help with this.

There is always something new to learn to help speed up our day to day lives.




Learning is for Life not just for Christmas

Two Screens - Twice as good?

Now that screens have such a small footprint and are so slim have you ever considered using 2 ?

A second screen can be added and enabled as an extended desktop or as a clone. In the first instance the second screen acts as an extension of the other so that you can drag windows back and forth between the 2 screens. The latter instance the second screen is simply a duplicate of the other screen.

So for example if the screens are configured as an extended desktop, you might be working on an Excel worksheet and then receive a phone call and want to look up your contact notes in Outlook. Opening Outlook in the second screen means that you do not have to disturb or lose track of what you were doing with your Excel file.

Obviously comparing the content of 2 files is a doddle and doing internet research whilst writing an article, paper, report is just so easy and simple.

Having 2 screens may seem strange but once you have installed a second screen you will wonder how you ever managed with just one!

Find out more about how to add a second screen.
