Tip of the Week - Spelling out Page Numbers

By ILTA Tips posted 03-25-2019
Be the first person to like this post.
Spelling Out Page Numbers You know how to add page numbers to your document. You would like the page numbers to be spelled out, however; for instance, "seven" instead of "7" or "fifteen" instead of "15." When you use the various Word tools for adding page numbers to a document, those page numbers are inserting using fields. One of the great things about fields is that you can modify what they produce by using switches. Try these steps: Insert your page numbers as you normally would. Select the field that makes up the page number. Press Shift+F9 to display the field code instead of the field results. After the field code (which ...

By ILTA Tips posted 03-04-2019
Be the first person to like this post.
Do You Know the Menu Key? This key has been was there all along. It is on the right side of my keyboard between the Window Key and the Control Key. It is the "Menu Key". Why? Because when you press it, it opens up a drop-down menu for whatever program you're in. The menu includes all the information you would see if you right clicked , you could also call it the "Right-Click" Key. Or you can press SHIFT + F10 So, next time you're typing away and need an edit menu or some other feature that you normally right-click to get, just head down to the Menu Key. #TipOfTheWeek

ILTA Trainer Call Notes - March 8, 2018

By Denise Ash posted 03-09-2018
6 people like this.
During ILTACON, a group of trainers were talking about how much we enjoyed the conversation with each other during the conference environment and that we would love to have a venue in which to do that more frequently than once a year. From that, an idea was born--a quarterly (for now) trainer call. Our first call was yesterday, March 8, 2018, and was expertly moderated by Stacie Oste. We discussed a variety of subjects in 60 short (and hectic) minutes and you will find the summary notes here . Thanks to all of the participants and if you missed the fun, we hope you will consider joining us the next time! #Training #HelpDeskandUserSupport

We are looking at the latest version of Nuance PDFPro Office (also labeled as Nuance eCopy) as a replacement for our various versions of Adobe Standard and an outdated version of eCopy. Anyone that has experience with this product, either positive or negative, I would love to hear about it. Additionally, if you can think of anything that the product does not offer that would be great as well. Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Curious about the successes people have had with this. What issues have you overcome? How do you socialize with HR? If you have this, what type of buy-in did you have to get? What model is your program? Would love to hear especially from mid-size to large firms or firms in the PNW area (Seattle, BC, Portland). Thanks! #Large(251-500) #HelpDeskandUserSupport #USA #Canada #HR #Firm

Working with Master/Sub Documents in Word 2010

By Tatyana McCormick posted 01-31-2014
Be the first person to like this post.
We have a group that wants the ability to merge multiple documents into one large document and if changes are made on the merged document - those changes need to automatically be reflected on the sub documents as well. The only way I know to do this is via a Master/Sub Document approach with Word (we are on 2010). However, my experience so far with Master/Sub docs is pretty unfavorable and the user would need to go through many steps each time the document is opened, saved or printed. Does anyone else know of an alternative to Master/Sub document routines but able to accomplish the same task? Right now all sub documents are sitting on a shared drive. ...

Are we using our creativity to engage?

By Michelle Spencer posted 06-19-2012
1 person like s this.
Am sitting here attending the ILTA ECM peer group's webinar entitled Introduction to Search Technology . Admittedly, not the most engaging topic, even for a semi-geek. Yet, I am mostly engaged and have only checked my e-mail a couple of times in the last hour. ;-) Why is that? The speakers have pretty pictures and engaging, effective diagrams in their presentation. They truly get the concept that a picture is worth a thousand words! Unfortunately, we trainer types tend to get all wrapped up in our words and covering the material sometimes, and we forget that engaging the audience is equally, if not more, important in the learning process. The other ...

Microsoft's Productivity Hub Wow! Just had to share some information about Microsoft's Productivity Hub, because it is an amazing FREE training resource that you must have, if you have the SharePoint platform to house it on. Microsoft has pre-packaged an entire SharePoint learning site for you with ALL of their content. It's really impressive and fully customizable for your environment. We just installed it here and I can't wait to play with it! I think it will be a great adjunct to our existing training resources. With all of Microsoft's content on this platform inside our firewall, I'm thinking I can cross-link the materials into our UniversitySite ...
