Office User Survey

Interesting survey fromGR Business Process Solutions about the various features in the main Office apps and how people use them, or don’t use them. My personal experience would suggest that their numbers are high, but then again, my experience is in a not for profit environment where you typically get employees with less computer skills than the norm in the for profit world. I’m bookmarking this to refer to the next time I have to consider doing some in house training, as it does provide a pretty good outline for what, typically, people feel less knowledgeable about.

By the way, if I had to guess, I would say our people typically use around 25% of the functionality in Office 2000, although we do have quite a bit of Access use, which wasn’t covered in this piece. I’ve got people here who won’t even use the calendar in Outlook, for example. So you can see where their numbers are higher than what I deal with every day. 🙂

  • Good uses for email

    I never lived in a dorm, but I’ve lived in plenty of apartment buildings with shared laundry facilities and I can definitely see the benefits of this system! It would be better if they could use IM but I understand trying to get everyone on the same IM network complicates that tremendously! 🙂 Follow these…

  • Hotmail upgrade

    Microsoft Upgrades Hotmail I noticed it this morning, and I like it, for the most part. They did get rid of one thing that I used to really like about hotmail though, the stuff at the top of a message (delete, next, previous, move, etc.) used to show up at the bottom of a message…

    Someone asked me earlier today if they could create a distribution list in the Contacts folder of Outlook and then move it to someone else’s Outlook. Since we don’t have any sort of shared folders, (We have no real mail server outside of the POP3 our ISP uses and the MS Mail we use internally.)…

  • Scary thought

    According to all the standardized tests I took back in the day, somewhere between 90-95% of the country is dumber than I am. I’m not saying that to brag, because, frankly, that scares the bejeezus out of me. After all, I can’t even put on matching clothes without asking my wife for help, have only…
