So the company I work for uses Microsoft Office for various things, and one of the questions that is asked when applying for the better computer jobs is do you have experience with spreadsheets. Now I have tons of experience on OpenOffice spreadsheets, but I want to learn Microsoft Office(all of it).


My question is how much support is offered for learning it? I see this community, and have great experience with you guys for solving W7 problems. Is it that good for MicrosoftOffice related help as well? Do you have suggestions for other forums/communities if this one doesn't quite cater to in depth needs?



Apologies in advance for my wordy question.

This search turns up training from Microsoft, GCFLearnfree and other sources.

You can always post questions here, but a forum might not be the best place to hold training classes.

There are several Excel-specific forums out there that I have used. I'd assume there are some for Word as well.

I haven't kept up with Access and don't know how prevalent it is in the so-called real world. May or may not be worth pursuing in depth at your company. I'd certainly try to concentrate my learning time on those particular Office apps that are used on your present or future job.
