In the 22-odd years since the company unveiled their suite of
productivity programs, Microsoft Office has become synonymous with
serious computer work. Whether it's a Fortune 500 conglomerate's
all-important spreadsheet or a homemaker's recipe catalog, MS
Office has been the dominant force in productivity applications for
a very long time. While Apple, Google and their ilk have certainly
created a competitive atmosphere in recent years, nobody can touch
the usability, customization, or sheer power of the Microsoft
Office suite. Now, with the release of their first official tablet
computer, Microsoft has upped the ante, optimizing and customizing
Office for the touch screen powerhouse they've dubbed Windows RT.
While a good chunk of the functionality that Office users have
gotten used to over the years remains the same, there are a few new
things to get acquainted with. This guide will take you through the
basics of Microsoft Word, the most popular desktop publishing
application ever released. We'll show you what you need to get
started, everything from creating and saving your documents (with
SkyDrive) to turning your finished documents into blog posts or
sharing directly with friends and colleagues. Whether you've been
using word processing applications for years, or you're still
clinging to your old Smith Corona typewriter, we'll not only show
you how to craft perfect documents, we'll have fun doing it At a
glance, Word RT 2013 looks like an incredibly complex program. It
can be, but it definitely doesn't have to be. This guide will teach
you what you need to know to get to work right now, leaving the
fluff and the head scratching for people with time to waste. Ready
to get started? Let's go
This book explains the reasons for conducting Group Discussion and
how it discovers leadership and personality traits of a person.
Through various chapters, it takes the reader straight into the
what, how, why, do's & don'ts and body posture besides the
knowledge of the topic given by the Group Testing officer required
to succeed at the Group Discussion. Take hold of the following
nuances: 1. Understanding the topic When the topic is given,
understand the topic carefully. If it is not clear initially or you
have some doubt regarding the topic, ask immediately. 2. Knowledge
about the topic When you are talking on the topic, choose your
points in a manner that they convey the depth of knowledge that you
possess. Citing relevant examples will also help to a great extent.
Superficial talk is a strict nono. 3. Precise and sharp thoughts As
you are gathering thoughts, try to stick to precise and concise
thoughts. In a Group Discussion, it is always quality over
quantity. Let your views be relevant and to the point. 4.
Communicating your views To develop communication skills, you can
choose a topic, stand before the mirror and start talking about it.
As you are talking, anticipate few questions from an imaginary
audience and try replying them. This will help you come across as a
confident person during the GD. 5. Taking the initiative If you
can, try to initiate the Group Discussion. By taking the
initiative, you will be giving a structure to the discussion and
defining the manner in which the discussion will progress. This
will exhibit your quality as a person who can facilitate actions by
breaking the ice. Act wisely and get selected!
PowerPoint is everywhere. From the company-wide sales meeting to
the high school chemistry class, few people have managed to avoid
contact with the world's most popular presentation software. Since
the 1990 introduction of PowerPoint as an integral part of the
Microsoft Office suite, this little piece of software ingenuity has
single-handedly destroyed the cumbersome slide projector and
ushered in the very concept of the presentation into the 21st
century. Though many companies have tried to compete with
PowerPoint, none have ever succeeded in any significant way. In
fact, PowerPoint retains a 95 percent share of the presentation
software market to this very day. They've managed this feat by
becoming the rarest kind of software: simple, yet amazingly
powerful. PowerPoint is currently being used by virtually anyone
who needs to present an idea to a group of people. From the CEO of
the largest corporation right down to your friendly local Girl
Scout troop, millions of people depend on PowerPoint to help them
get their ideas across. With the release of Office 2013 RT, the
PowerPoint interface has been optimized and customized for tablet
PCs, giving you all of the power of this incredible program while
letting you create your presentation masterpieces from anywhere you
please. This guide will take you through the basics of PowerPoint
RT. We'll teach you what you need to know to get started,
everything from creating and saving your presentations (with
SkyDrive) to turning your finished masterpieces into stand-alone
files or even videos. Whether you've been using PowerPoint for
years, or you're still futzing around with a slide projector in
your basement, we'll not only show you how to get things done with
PowerPoint, we'll have fun doing it At a glance, PowerPoint RT
looks like an incredibly complex program. It can be, but it
definitely doesn't have to be. This guide will teach you what you
need to know to get to work right now. We'll leave the fluff and
head scratching for people with time to waste. Ready to get

From the book cover:
Time is one of our most precious commodities-especially to a
student completing a Master's or PhD and having to type their own
thesis or dissertation, as most 21st century students now do. What
would you do with an extra month to work on your dissertation? If
you had to assign a financial value to a month, what would that be?
That is the bold claim of this book-that typical students with a
standard knowledge of Microsoft Word completing a full PhD
dissertation who know and use the information provided in this book
might be able to submit their dissertation approximately a month
earlier (or have an extra month's worth of time to focus on their
research work). This claim is made on the basis of the author's
extensive experience in assisting students with problems
encountered in the typing of their dissertations and teaching these
principles to postgraduate students in a focused Microsoft Word
training course. But it gets better. The techniques presented in
this book do not save time by taking shortcuts that impinge on the
quality of the final product. In fact, the focus of these
techniques is how to improve the quality of the submitted
dissertation by avoiding the mistakes students commonly make as a
result of their lack of knowledge about the features offered by
Microsoft Word. In other words, better quality work is obtained by
employing techniques that simultaneously allow students to work
faster. So what will you do with your month?
