Microsoft change thing every week. I'm not sure any book could keep up.
friendofdorothy if you want any help, ping me a message.
I've been working with SharePoint in just about all its varieties since it first launched. I run a SharePoint support team. I even have the word "SharePoint" in my job title
SharePoint's a fantastic product if you know how to use it. Most people (especially some of those people above!) don't know how to use it or what it's capable of doing.
Yes, Microsoft do sometimes appear to go out of their way to make simple things harder than they should be but, you know... plus ça change
Are either of you in South London? I think I will need to do this in person on my own device for it to really help me?
Yes. But a basic understanding of the system, symbols, menus terminology etc is definitely needed
Probably a stupid question but how would I find that out? Were would that info be? (Stored on SharePoint perhaps ha ha!) As I said the person who set up the system has left us.
Not in it on this device but will check when I can next time. Thank you
Not my own money and £400 is not nearly enough for proper training, which I think under our own rules, the charity has a duty to provide for me. So far as a charity we have spent nothing on improving our own skills or accessibility. Improving my skills to fulfill my role is not a waste of money. It's taken over two years of asking for help to even get this meagre budget.
Think I'm using the web version. Is there much difference?
Think I'm opening it through a browser but I'm not at all sure what I'm doing. Someone talked me through step by step starting off via zoom during lockdown but I had no idea what I was doing and I can't recall any details now. Don't recall installing outlook on my laptop.
No worries. PM me if you want to arrange a screen share session to discuss, point at things on screen, ask questions etc
I did the Google training with them. They don't do ms training. They have drop ins but it's hot and miss with trainers knowledge/ time available, they have helped with outlook.
Are you still looking for someone? I'm very good with MS Office, business admin, and setting up and explaining all manner of SaaS (software as a service
I've managed one session on outlook at a drop on where there was only two of us there. So that has helped me sort out !y inbox and label and file things. Not yet got to grips with my address book and groups / lists.
Can only see general intro to IT courses or level 3 btec more technical etc. Haven't seen anything yet about MS software.
It's not just outlook, and I've spent lots of time and effort working with people who need a good teacher with enough business experience to not just teach them about Microsoft 365, but to also help them identify other areas that can tie in with the training to create a solution that teaches the client and/or his employees to make the most out of the latest developments in cloud software.
I'm in Clapton and happy to travel, work odd hours, etc
