Microsoft Office Tutorials

It seems that everybody has some type of collection for a hobby - from matchbox cars to trading cards to magazines. I collect baseball memorabilia and Microsoft Office Tutorials. Huh?

I have been fascinated by the Microsoft Office Suite of products since the mid 1990's. While I realize that many people do not like Microsoft Office, it has always been a way for me be more productive in the work place. My favorite application is Microsoft Excel, but I'm also a big fan of Word, PowerPoint and Publisher. I've only got five years of experience using Visio, but the more I use it, the more I like it.

With all of that said, I'm sure that very few people know how to use every feature in the various products. In fact, I've heard that most people only use 10 - 15% of the functionality of these applications. I've always believed that if users used 20 - 25% of these applications that productivity would increase in the work place.

A few years ago, I found that I was always the person at work that co-workers asked on how to use the Microsoft Office applications. While I didn't mind answering questions, I realized that I knew some things, but not everything. I knew that there had to be a better source for this information than just me so I began collecting online tutorials. Some were great with incredible details, others were simple but still filled with valuable information. The more tutorials that I found, the more I learned about these great applications and the more my skills increased.

I originally created an MSN Groups Web site to store this information. The site, though, was limited so I decided to create a blogger account - Microsoft Office Tutorials - for this information. I hope you find it helpful and useful. If you know of additional tutorials that you believe would be helpful, please feel free to e-mail me. I'm always interested in seeing top-notch tutorials.
