Show off your Office expertise!
As a result of the reader panel (and a huge thank-you to everyone participating in that) we're starting to learn a bit more about you.
For example, many of you are regularly asked for help by your colleagues. We want to recognise this and give you a place to share your great ideas.
So we've introduced the Readers' Corner where you can contribute and be rewarded for your own time-saving Office tips. See below for more details.
And don't forget, you can always tell us what you think about the newsletter by emailing
atworkuk@microsoft.com
Thanks,
Chris

Giving powerful presentations
How confident do you feel when asked to give a presentation?
Hmm… thought so. Very few people thrive on speaking in
public and most will admit to at least some anxiety along
the way.
Whether you like it or loathe it, giving presentations is
becoming a more common part of everyday work. Having a tried
and tested approach to preparing and delivering
presentations can not only save you time, effort and stress,
it can also help you shine at work and develop a healthy
reputation for someone who knows their stuff.
Follow this easy six-step process and banish your
presentation demons for good.
Had a presentation nightmare?
Tell us all about it! We're compiling a list of the ten worst presentation disasters. Just email the gory details to
atworkuk@microsoft.com and if your story is chosen, we'll
compensate reward you with a small prize.
