Those that intuitively add to what I know already are easy, whereas new platforms are not.
A Mac user since the days of the ‘Classic‘ I find common tools such as Outlook quite foreign, plenty of functionality, but very mathematical, boxy and dry. I need to use it to tie in with the work I do with a swimming club.
I’m not even great with Excel having only used it for basic accounts. When it comes to creating and managing a database I have always used FileMaker Pro – I prefer the flexibility of layouts as I like to have bespoke pages depending on what information is being collated.
Any tips on merging contact data from Excell to Outlook would be appreciated.
Meanwhile I’m beginning to use Google Docs and Compendium, but rather than ‘playing’ I need a specific task to undertake that will require their use. Anyone have some suggestions?
