Learn Productivity Tips That’ll Save You Time, Money and Stress

Just the mention of Excel creates fear in many Office Professionals. Some say Microsoft Word is just for boring letters. And PowerPoint is just old fashioned!

All of these Office products have become staples for business for one good reason. They all do their jobs exceedingly well but only when you scratch beneath the surface. In one day, we will be looking at over 300 tips. But don’t panic! Everything is contained in the comprehensive handouts, step-by-step, and in Plain English.

This session is delivered by Paul Pennant, Microsoft MVP (Most Valuable Professional).
