Office 2007 & Shared Calendars



These are the two mandatory things on the Playground that were left, and I've now finished them! Does that make me officially finished?! (I'd still like to do Podcasts and Audiobooks, #22 & 23). I got a quick peek at Technorati (#11) and have wasted much time over the years watching YouTube (21). (See the "Otters holding hands" viral video above)

Ok, Office 2007: I went through the tutorials for Word 2007, and found them useful. I had been thrown into the pool, so to speak, one day when I sat down at the Info. desk and opened the Word program to find my old familiar friend had disappeared and in its place was a snazzy newcomer. I stumbled around and found the basic commands and was able to produce a document, but only just. The tuorials helped me become more familiar with the "new" Word - I particularly liked the tutorial in which you highlight a command on "old" Word and it shows you where that command is on "new" Word.

"Shared Calendars" My shared calendar consists of a paper copy hanging on my kitchen wall at home, where my husband, my son and I write our appointments, etc. It seems to work for us! But I can see that in a business environment with lots of meetings going on, the ability to look at others' schedule and book meetings via email would be invaluable.

Am I now officially finished the Playground???!!!
