Microsoft Office
Tips and Tricks
Make
Your Excel
Data Jump
With the revolution of Office 2007,
Microsoft has put a great deal of effort into helping you do your job faster
and easier, and helping you get the information you need quickly and
clearly. Nowhere is that effort more apparent than in Excel 2007.

One of the coolest new enhancements is the
evolution of conditional formatting. Your data has an important story to
tell, but in a worksheet with row after row of numbers it's not always easy
to see patterns and trends. With conditional formatting, it only takes a
glance to compare worker productivity, sales figures, product performance,
or other measures that are important to your business. Excel 2007 makes it
easier than ever to apply rich conditional formatting
Watch this demo to see how data bars, gradient colors, icon sets, and
other conditional formatting can turn raw data into information you can act
on.

Electronics, while essential, do become outdated or
obsolete after only a few years. Each computer component
contains hazardous materials, such as mercury, lead, and
cadmium, and if improperly disposed of can destroy the
environment. However, resources within the computer and
electronics can be used for the future and, in the long
run, help protect the environment. Businesses, as well
as individuals, can do their part by making an effort to
recycle these items so that they do not end up in
landfills. Contact Applied Tech for more information on
this service or Resource Solutions Corporation at

Annual IT Checkup --
Have you had yours?
If
we take our health seriously, we have an annual checkup. If
you take your company’s technology seriously, you should
consider an annual periodic review of the following:
- Can a new
technology solve your business problems?
- Can technology
help you increase customer satisfaction?
- Can technology
help put profit to your bottom line?
- Have you outgrown
your existing technology infrastructure?
Our account managers
have been trained to understand the impact that technology
can have on businesses every day. They will sit down with
you to understand more about your company business processes
and problems and help you determine how technology can make
a difference. After we’ve talked together about your
business, we’ll deliver an assessment of your current
technology health and some suggestions about how you might
improve it. And unlike visiting the doctor, you won’t
receive a bill in the mail. If you are interested in an
“annual checkup”, please call us to setup an appointment for
an account manager & owner to visit your location.
Good technology health
has many parallels to good physical health – it’s always
better to be proactive than reactive. Take charge of getting
the most out of your technology today!
