Office Newswire: Microsoft & CES, Office on the iPad news – 1.11.12

It seems all the news regarding Office is the result of other companies creating apps that work with Office files and run on the iPad. Mind you, these are not Office for the iPad as many of the article authors below state. ... Read the rest of this entry →

Office Newswire: Strategies and tools to stay organized and productive in 2012 – 1.4.2012

I spent the better part of my week do just that as well as thinking through 2012. I don't do the “New Year's Resolution” thing but I do set my sights on some items I want to achieve.

Office Newswire: Office for the iPad – 12.2.2011

Office Newswire: Office 15 Beta to Debut January 2012 – 11.26.2011

I'm a day late with the Office Newswire for this week. I am without excuse but I will still lay blame on the tryptophan-induced coma I had as a result of all the turkey I ate during Thanksgiving. That and the 2 pieces of pecan pie... Read the rest of this entry →

Office Newswire – 11.18.2011

This post starts with a mind map...a diagram that attempts to document what went through a person's mind as they brainstormed or went through a series of tasks. In this case, the mind map is from one of my favorite blogs which typically covers the sport of baseball... Read the rest of this entry →
