How I Use Access at Work

Posted on September 14, 2012 by jf144190

We do not use Access very much at work.  We have a database set up with all of our client information (location address, contact names, telephone #’s e-mail addresses, etc) which is used to create contact lists.  I personally use it weekly in conjunction with Microsoft Word’s mail merge feature to create labels and paycheck receipts for the payroll distribution.

Microsoft Office 2013

Posted on September 6, 2012 by jf144190

With Office 2013, Microsoft has further extended Word from a word processing program into a Desktop Publishing program like QuarkXpress or Pagemaker.  The addition of Alignment Guides in 2013 that assist the user in aligning pictures, videos, charts etc. precisely where they are wanted in the text is a great addition.  Live Layout adds the ability to drag a photo or object to a new position and have the text automatically adjust to the new position.  And the ability to not only export a document as a PDF (which has been available in previous versions) but to be able to open and edit PDF’s directly in Word makes the need for Acrobat non-existant.  I have always believed that word processing and desktop publishing programs should merge and am happy to see the additional desktop publishing elements added to this version of Word.

How I use Excel at Work

Posted on September 1, 2012 by jf144190

I use Excel nearly every day in my work.  I manage both the Metrocard and 401K programs at my office.  I keep spreadsheets to track the weekly payroll deductions for both so that I can double check our 401K company’s numbers and so I can monitor the amount outstanding for each employee’s Metrocard.  I also export information from our accounting program into Excel so that I can run quarterly Gross Profit statements and income statements.  Many of my workbooks have multiple worksheets in them where I have formulas pulling totals from one sheet to another so that I can have running totals throughout a year or over multiple years.  Most of the information that I keep would be incredibly difficult to handle if it wasn’t for Excel.
