• "Ultimate" Office? - Right!
• PC User's Tip
  

If you use Microsoft Office, you know it is a powerful office suite but there are more features that could be added. Well Microsoft has you covered with a bunch of add-ins to customize Office to your needs.

For example, you may have have heard that when you collaborate on documents in your office the changes and comments that you and your associates make to the document are tracked. Even if you hide that data when done, it's still there. So, before you send the document out, use the Remove Hidden Data add-in.

There are a variety of add-ins for all of the programs but there is a search engine to help you find the add-ins for the programs you use. These add-ins have all been testes and should work fine. The great part is they are all free so you can try as many as you would like. We will put a link to the site in the show notes.

Check out other add-ins at www.microsoft.com/downloads


• Mac User's Tip
  


One of the old Mac standard features was brought back in Panther. It is called Labels and it lets you color code your files for easy visual recognition. For example, you could make your work files blue and your home files green.

To assign a color label to a file, click on the file, then click on the Action in the toolbar. In the pop-up menu that appears, under the Color Label section go directly to the color you want. You can also Control-click on the file and access the Color Labels there.

Remember, adding a color label doesn't actually change the color of a file's icon, it just puts a color bar around the file's name.

Now all of you anal retentive organization freaks - you know who you are - can organize all of your files.
