To help me give an honest answer please, regarding Microsoft Word.

 

If I wrote my CV (for instance) using Microsoft Word Starter, and am able to save and send, and update when required, how would you describe my skills regarding MW on an application form.

Options are either :-basic

                              :-competent

                               :-expert.................................Lol.

 

I'm sure to you reading this it is very basic and easy to do and obviously I'm not in the last option category.

 

Cheers.

Can you use bold, italic and underscore, indentation and tabs, and bulleted and numbered lists in Word?

 

If so, then I'd say you're competent given how little of its capabilities most people use.

If you use page breaks instead of endless carriage returns to get to a new page then I'd be happy to class you as an expert.

If you can figure out line indentation and bullet points you qualify as 'expert' :p

 

Could you draft a letter properly in Word? If so you're competent.

-10 points if you type in Comic Sans.

Unless you're a teacher then it's mandatory.

 

Other sins -

 

More than one font on a page

More than two colours

Use of shouty capitals

Animated Word Art (punishable by death in 30 countries)

Embedding 1Gb+ of unedited pictures into a Word doc

Using word for spreadsheets and Excel for documents

Thats my local LEA out then, we only kept an old copy of MSO2008  because they kept sending us weirdly formatted Excel documents full of active elements, that nothing else could unscramble properly.

Only 30?

Only 30?

 

Officially. But you risk death-by-Irate-IT-guy in most countries.

I'm happy to put competent then. Didn't want to undersell myself although the job is in maintenance.

 

Cheers guys. :beer:

"An expert is someone who knows one fact more than you do".

 

I forget who said this, is there an expert in the house??

Now I thought the definition of an expert was as follows: An EX is a has-been and a SPURT is a drip under pressure 

I thought it meant an old girlfriend that had great tits, Lol.
