| 1374253 | 2014-05-06 22:55:00 | Apparently a survey (" www.cio.com Employees_New_Study_Shows" ) was done recently that says a lot of office workers mostly just use the email facility.. Everyone else uses .. Google docs.. or anything other than MS Office |

| 1374254 | 2014-05-06 23:18:00 | Still regularly use Word & Excel but have the full suite (2010) | cookee (2739) | ||
| 1374255 | 2014-05-06 23:35:00 | We use Word 2010 at home. | Richard (739) | ||
| 1374256 | 2014-05-06 23:37:00 | Heavy Word, Excel, and Outlook at work, hardly use it at home. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1374257 | 2014-05-06 23:40:00 | Office 365 on my tablet and desktop. OneNote alone makes it worth it :thumbs: | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 1374258 | 2014-05-06 23:48:00 | Office 2010 here on PC and laptop. Industry standard and you know that the features are going to be supported, same print layout, fonts etc. Some offices use Novell Groupwise for email. Most are Outlook. But if you are writing reports, doing spreadsheets I cannot see large organisations using Google Docs or Open Office etc. Every job interview I have been to have asked about my skills in MS Excel. Bro is about to get a iPad from Canada when my mum visits family there. On a tablet / phone are the items we don't have Office installed. Ditto for Adobe Acrobat / Reader. Even for home use, if you are wanting offline emails stored on HD, Outlook is just much more famililar. Calendar functions too. If you want to write an email to the bank or insurance broker it feels more work like. If one is setting up a budget spreadsheet again ... |

| 1374259 | 2014-05-06 23:55:00 | People still use Groupwise? I haven't seen that in the wild for probably 8 years now. Same with Lotus Notes. | Alex B (15479) | ||
| 1374260 | 2014-05-07 00:44:00 | A couple of PCs here came with MS Office loaded and I was pleasantly surprised to discover how cleanly and easily it un-installed. MS got SOMETHING almost right. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 1374261 | 2014-05-07 00:49:00 | Apparently a survey (" www.cio.com Employees_New_Study_Shows" ) was done recently that says a lot of office workers mostly just use the email facility.. Everyone else uses .. Google docs.. or anything other than MS Office If you use Outlook in a office environment , I'd bet you are opening Word & excel attachments quite often (opening them via MS Office) Must have been a survey designed to Make Office look bad, by an MS Office hater maybe ;) Google Docs used in a business/Office environment ???? , except perhaps for a one off usage/shared doc, I doubt its very common... MS Office is the industry standard . MS Word is so commonly used its not funny . So those in the survey rarely open a Word Doc ?? Not even opening a Doc attatched to an email ?? Thats just a bit hard to believe Sure, not that many creating spreadsheets anymore (Ive only created 4 spreadsheets in the last 10 years) , but there will be alot of spreadsheets being emailed & opened buy users. Those in the survey may not be thinking about just how those email attachments are opened. How many are using Access without even knowing it ? news.softpedia.com 1 in 7 use MS Office www.microsoft.com I cringe when I see companies still using Outlook Express, or something even worse as they would only pay for the cheaper home or student version of Office Its soooo muuuch easier to move a PST to a new/replacement PC . I was guilty of Using Eudora on my home PC. When it became an issue with some emails not being readable (html format ??), I was stuffed as I couldnt export the old emails & contacts to another email program. I'm still using Office 2K at home. It does the job & is blindingly fast on newer PC's |
