but for the more advanced tutor. With excel, fully
interactive formative tests can be delivered quickly
and cheaply to those that need them"

General comments about Office
-
"Unlike many of my colleagues I have
never been a Microsoft hater. I use Office so much that
it has to be on the list. I really like the 07 suite
with its new interface and wouldn't swap it for
any cheaper
alternative. I
particularly like
the RSS feeds
facility in Outlook."
Clive
Shepherd
-
MS Office XP and Outlook 2003.
Grouped together because they are so interconnected.
These tools are chosen for me by my employer, but I
have no complaints - they do the job and I think
Excel is the finest application Microsoft ever
produced."
Karyn Romeis
- "Whilst I'm not much of a PowerPointer, I use
Word
and Excel extensively. I
particularly like Word's
Outliner; and there are
many situations in which
some of Excel's
easy-to-learn "advanced"
features - like filters,
conditional formatting
and the like, save a lot
of time and effort."
Seb Schmoller
- "I can’t imagine my work without Word, Excel and
PowerPoint"
Jorge
Goncalves
- " For creating. The basic tools
to help conceive, plan, design, build learning products.
Have been the standard for me for 10 years"
David Meaney
- "For writing, collating, preparing presentations,
tracking, reporting – online and offline – I still
haven’t found a way to avoid these tools"
