18th Annual Direct Response Forum

(Posted by Evan)
 
FYI--I'll be presenting two sessions on Office Tips & Tricks (one on Office 2003 and one on Office 2007) at the Direct Response Forum in Seattle, WA on August 5th.
 
What is the Direct Response Forum? According to the DRF website at www.directresponseforum.org: 

The DRF provides an exclusive venue for payment industry peers to meet, learn about and address the unique challenges facing Customer Not Present (CNP) merchants including:

  • Management and optimization of multiple payment types and payment channels
  • Integrating payment processes with complex customer service and fulfillment systems
  • Compliance requirements imposed by regulatory bodies
  • Strategies for handling disputes and fraud
  • New technologies and payments-related products and services

We are an organization created by and committed to serving the employees of merchant organizations that process CNP transactions.  However, representatives of acquirers, card companies and service providers are invited to participate with their merchant customers in DRF activities in order to encourage dialogue between all stakeholders in the CNP arena.

If you work for a CNP merchant and would like to learn more or register for the event, visit http://www.directresponseforum.org/ForumInformation/tabid/85/Default.aspx. While I won't be selling books at the event, I will gladly sign any personal copies someone happens to bring along.

Book Nook at IAAP

For those of you attending the International Association of Administrative Professionals Convention in Tampa at the end of the month, please stop by the Book Nook and pick up a copy of So That's How! Take advantage of the fact that many titles will be on sale at a reduced rate because IAAP has a relationship with book vendors to purchase some of these books at half price and they pass the savings on to you! So, leave some space in that carry on for Evan and me.

Where did it go?

(Posted by Tiffany)
 
Initial feedback is coming in to me about the Office 2007 ribbon from pilot groups. Most people say that the transition has not slowed them down at all and that they find it "refreshing" that Microsoft took such a bold step to make the user interface easier. The downside is that all those menus we had committed to memory are now obsolete. When you just want to find the spell check button in Excel, you can glance right past it on the left side of the screen on the Review tab because your brain wants to look for it in the middle of the ribbon since it used to be in the middle of the Standard toolbar. Here are three shortcuts to paste onto your desktop that can save you some time:
 
 
Click Start the guide in the middle of these pages to get an Office 2003 user interface. Click on the feature you want and the screen will fade to the Office 2007 interface and show you where to find it on the ribbon. It works with menu items too!
