Word - Protect your documents by pulling down the "Tools" menu and choose "Protect Document." Enter a password. People can still make changes, BUT you can always reverse them later. Try it.

Excel - Know the terminology: Many people confuse "workbook" with "spreadsheet." A workbook is the file you save on your PC. It may contain multiple spreadsheets.

QuickBooks- Control + Q or is the same as a Quick Report. Control + A will open your Chart of Accounts. Major time saver.

  Workplace Topic

Employees need to understand where company dollars go so... show them

Employees at Artists Frame Service in Chicago knew what the company charged customers, and they knew that their pay was only a fraction of that. The CEO wanted them to understand that the difference between invoice prices and their salaries was not all profit. So the employees were treated to a demonstration of the company's expenses, illustrated as portions of a hypothetical $100 order.

As the presenter explained where the money was going, different departments came forward to claim the proceeds of the sale. An oversized $5 bill, for example, was disbursed to cover the cost of the company's Yellow Pages listing, which costs the company roughly 5% of its receipts. The pile of cash was whittled down as claims were made by rent, health insurance, and other fixed and operating expenses that many employees don't think about. When all the bills were paid only $4 remained.

The demonstration improved morale by giving workers an understanding of the company's expenses, and challenged them to look for ways to save the company money. Now that they understand how lean a company has to run to stay competitive, buyers are ordering in bulk and watching inventory carefully, and clerks are finding ways to handle orders more efficiently.
