Today I am preparing for an Office 2007 presentation I will be giving tomorrow. In preparation I usually spend a couple of day surfing the net for pros and cons, to get a feel for what other people think. I noticed a lot of mixed feelings about Office 2007.
I love new techy things and I LOVE office 2007....now. Like most "power users" I didn't like how the change in format slowed down my productivity. However, now that I have used the 2007 version for over a year, I have learned to love it. It's pretty, it's effecient and quite frankly Microsoft Outlook and MS Word are business standards.
....sigh.... Do you remember Wordperfect 5.0.... Do you remember the little template for the top of your keyboard with the three levels of keyboard short cuts... Do you remember how good you were, you could "reveal codes", setup the document and print without pausing in your keystrokes.... and then came windows! Do you remember Word 3.0? Do you remember it on your resume? (chuckle chuckle)
Well, we've come a long way baby!
So, in my effort to try to understand the struggles with this newest version, I'd like your specific struggles with the latest version of Microsoft Productivity Software
Thanks

How to Start a Freelance Career
Work at Home and Earn an Excellent Income
Imagine being able to work from your own home, doing a job you love, and
getting paid handsomely for doing it. Wouldn't that be great?
Well, the good news is that this is not just a fantasy. It is a prospect that is
well within your reach. Today, millions of people worldwide have established
highly-successful careers as freelance professionals. Writers, designers,
programmers and many other home-based consultants have discovered that
freelancing offers the perfect combination of freedom, creativity, flexibility
and profitability.
So do you need years of experience and fantastic qualifications to join these
lucky people? Not at all. You just need a skill that you can offer to potential
clients, and the willingness to learn how to run a home-based business.
Of course, the biggest challenge for new freelancers is finding enough work to
justify giving up a day job. How can you be sure that you will keep yourself
busy with lucrative work? This used to be a concern, but thanks to the advent of
