Another GREAT MOSS Bootcamp completed

modonovan — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 09:33:23 GMT

Yesterday we completed another 2 day MOSS 2007 bootcamp (held in Fourways, Johannesburg), and the general feedback was that it was a fantastic event. Not only did the delegates love the content and labs, but they found the networking opportunities to be very valuable to.

I did promise that the slides which were used would be published today, and so please us this link to download the PPTs off of my SkyDrive

If you are in the South African region, please don’t forget to join the Information Worker Community and use it as a way to keep in touch with other SharePoint focused South Africans (both technical and business).

Over and Out,

Michael

Find Commands in Office 2007 Easily with Office Labs Search Commands

modonovan — Thu, 22 May 2008 12:48:35 GMT

Ever wondered where a command / function is in Office 2007? The ribbon is amazing but getting started when you are used to the previous menu system can be a little hard.

Step In....Search Commands from Office Labs. Simply type in the task, function, command you are looking for into a box and get the exact answer you are looking for. As you can see in the screen shot below, I wanted to know how to insert a digital signature line in a Microsoft Word document, so I searched for "insert digital signature", and as I type the commands are shown just to the right of the search box. Pretty darn cool!
