Marking the tenth anniversary of Office Watch.
We’ve passed a milestone – the tenth anniversary of Office Watch.
Since 1 October 1996 we’ve been keeping a close eye on Microsoft Office – Office 97 was about to be released back then and now Office 2007 is appearing over the horizon.
Over the decade we’ve kept Microsoft’s feet to the fire on problems like the Excel re-calculation bugs (when Excel 97 could not add up a set of numbers correctly), the never-ending problems with Office updates and more bugs than we’d care to count. We’ve also talked about lots of new features in Office and how to use them. There’s also advice on how and where to buy Office to save you money (we received a grateful email from a reader who has saved around a million dollars for his company just by reading a single issue of Office Watch!).
In the last 18 months we’ve extended that with our popular ebooks like Eye-Catching Signs with Word where we talk about how to get something done with step-by-step instructions, plenty of illustrations and completed documents ready for you to use.
Our latest in this series Creative Certificates with Word has just been released.
We’ll not bore you with a long look back over the last decade – we prefer to look ahead. We’ll be doing various things during October to mark the anniversary.
The first of which is the start of our new web site. https://office-watch.com/ is the new look Office Watch site which you’ll start to see linked from each issue of Office Watch.
You’ll start seeing links like this in our newsletters:
