Why Your Small Business Needs an Intranet (Sharepoint)
by Kim Komando
Microsoft Sharepoint

One thing I like about running a small company is the ability to act quickly. Decisions are not bogged down by layers of management. In fact, most moves are made with the interested parties meeting around a conference table.

But there can come a point when your business outgrows this arrangement. You need constant, reliable and secure communications with others in the company to ensure successful growth. You need an intranet.

Microsoft Office Quick Tips
by Sheila Finnerty

Play Ribbon Hero


Use these new keyboard shortcuts with Microsoft Excel or Word (2007 or 2010)

The familiar keyboard shortcuts that begin with CTRL are still there. In addition, there's a set of shortcuts called Key Tips that are part of the ribbon. Every command has a Key Tip. To use Key Tips:

  • With your worksheet open, press ALT to display the Key Tips for all the tabs on the ribbon.

  • To see the Key Tips for the commands on a tab, press the letter for that tab. For example, for the Home tab, press H.

  • To access a command, press the letter or letters for that command. For example, to format cells, press F+C. To close that dialog box, press ESC.
