Great week of Microsoft Office Power Tips and Tricks

Posted by Jacqueline Tang on Friday, June 26, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

It has been an extremely fun week running Microsoft Office Power Tips seminars. We were invited by NTUC, Wincor-Nixdorf and Calyon between 24th and 26th June 2009.

Registration for both NTUC @ One Marina Boulevard and Wincor-Nixdorf far exceeded than anticipated. The HRD had only expected 20 to 30 pax maximum to sign up. However, registration and attendance exceeded 100.

We had NTUC staff, from the different unions all over Singapore, taking time off to attend the seminar.

We had Wincor-Nixdorf managers and heads end their meetings before 3 p.m. to make it on time for the seminar.

I was well chuffed when Sharifah of Wincor-Nixdorf presented me with a token of appreciation of a certificate and a thumbdrive.

After the last 2 two days, it was a welcomed return to small and intimate sessions with Calyon.

Presenting the Microsoft Office Power Tips and Tricks Seminar at NTUC

 It was great to hear from the participants how much they learnt from the seminars. Short but impactful and of immediate productivity.

That has always been Aeternus’s message and purpose: It’s not about mouse clicks and features. It’s about showcasing HOW and WHAT magic Excel, Word and PowerPoint can do beyond the standard mouse clicks.

We’ve created a series of Microsoft Office Power Seminars to harness what Microsoft Office can offer.

This is an info-graphic I created in Microsoft Excel. It shows the population composition of Singapore in 2009. The world map and the stick-man was from the standard web-ding font. The only exception was the Singapore flag which I copied from Wikipedia. Nothing fancy was used. Just pure Excel 2007 features, no more no less. [...]

Yes they do. Which is why you hardly get any good support when you have a problem with it. Try opening a support ticket when you hit a snag with Excel. It won’t see the light of day. So why do IT folks hate Microsoft Excel? 1. It’s tough for IT folks to distribute and [...]

Lollipop approach to clarify Microsoft Excel line charts

Jul 05, 2010 | Discuss

Traditional Microsoft Excel line charts have a common problem. It is hard to visually associate the data points with the horizontal axis. The traditional axis line is no help at all. We can get around this problem by using data markers. Certainly an improvement, but we still need to mentally drop imaginary lines between the [...]
