I need some help/advice please. We are setting up a support center for
ourselves, being recently unemployed due to a bankruptcy. The center has a
limited amount of government funding so we bought a couple of computers and
a copy of MS Office 2003.
So far so good, however, we are all shop floor workers, not a secretary or
office worker in sight. What would be the best way of setting Office up so
that we can take advantage of its features and workflow?
It will mainly be used for maintaining a list of users, although we don't
have any user workshop or programs set up yet, so we don't know exactly how
we'll utilize the list. Probably for mailing letters and flagging those that
participate in a particular program, printing schedules etc.
I'm quite confident around computers and applications but my partner on the
other day shift was wanting to use Excel to input and maintain the data. I'm
quite happy to let him do it that way, I can always import it to Outlook,
where I think we should set it up.
The two computers are networked, I'm not sure what the center (where we have
an office) uses as a network, I think it's Microsoft server, we'll have to
keep the data synced between them somehow.
I know that this is a lot that I'm asking for, but where better to turn to
than the experts
