Make Microsoft work for you

Most PAs use Excel and Outlook on a daily basis, so it’s vital to ensure that you get the most out of them. If you are self-taught and have some gaps in your knowledge, then you could certainly benefit from a session at the forthcoming PA Life training day moderated by Kim Middleton, who is Operations Manager at Pitman Training.

Kim will take delegates through a whole variety of key learning points that include custom settings in Excel, sharing workbooks, working with data and with charts, pivot tables, conditional formatting, track changes, protecting cells and worksheets, plus common formulas and functions.

The presentation also takes an in-depth look at Outlook and runs through topics such as folders and favourites, contacts and groups, using the calendar, multiple time zones, rules and conditional formatting, templates, delegate access, permissions and encryptions, as well as voting buttons.

The training day takes place on Monday, 15 June at the ILEC Conference Centre at the Ibis London Earls Court and features 12 compelling courses, each individually tailored for the PA community. Delegates can choose to come for the full day for £249, or for just a half day at £125. The full-day option includes a networking lunch where attendees get the chance to mingle and chat with administrative professionals from a whole range of different backgrounds.

There are discounted rates available for those who have previously attended a PA Life training day and also for those who are members of the PA Life Club.
