I have an interview for a job next week for which I have said I am competent at word and excel. Never used them as I use mainly photoshop on Macs. I'm asking around friends of friends to see if anyone can run me through the basics. How hard can it be??

 

No that hard, but I've used office for years and years, go to "Youtube" and there'll be a few million videos showing the the basics of each system....

 

Good thinking. Watched one already. I have Open Office which seems pretty similar so I can practice on that.

 

You can get a 60 day free trial on Microsoft website

there is tutorial software you can get (freeware) its called ribbon or something like that. It can guide you through doing things on the office packages

 

To be honest mate you can pretty much learn 'on the job' - the later versions of MS Office are made to be picked up and used. It's only when you start getting into more advanced stuff that you need to delve deeper

 

Yep it seems straight forward enough though Excel is much cleverer than I expected. I think I'll be OK and it may not even be a word processing test on the day though apparently there is a test!

 

If you can type you can use Word Like said its only the more advanced things which need some knowledge.
