Welcome to The Fourth R Newsletter
 

We're pleased to present you with the March issue of The Fourth R Newsletter. This edition features ten shortcuts for use with Windows and a special discount offer.

We extend last month's article to include another new edition from the Microsoft stable. Office 2013. Is this just mere rebadging? Or is there real benefit to the new Office suite of products?

The Fourth R provides clients with a wide range of solutions including consulting, instructor-lead and Online courses. Vendors include Microsoft, Adobe, MYOB and more. Please call us or visit our website for further information.
 

Microsoft Office 2013
 
 

Available as either a standalone package or part of the Office 365 suite (Cloud i.e. Internet based anywhere you go computing), Office 2013 offers a sleeker but not uncommon interface.

The ribbon that was introduced into Office 2007 still remains. For the most part, this version greatly reduces the frustration of re-learning where functions are placed (we are safe for at least another 2 - 3 years).

The new interface is dull in appearance. Gone are the aesthetically appealing gradient icons (replaced with single colour). Does it make the program less functional? No.

Impressive new features include Start Screens (provides a wealth of options at start up), Cloud integration with SkyDrive (for users that want to save their work online for anywhere access), Touchscreen accented features (the new Read Mode in Word lets you scroll with the swipe of a finger).

Notable features in the individual products include editing PDF's in Word without the need to convert to a docx/doc format. Formatting task panes in PowerPoint enables ease of use whilst Excel has a recommended chart features that reduces the confusion of options with charts.

The Fourth R will start rolling out training courses for Office 2013 in coming months. Click here to view the latest courses.
