She started out using Word for newsletters, letters, books, and other documents in the late 1980s. She added PowerPoint to her areas of expertise in the early 1990s, when she first moved to Office on the PC while developing training at Honeywell. At that same training job, she started using Excel to create budgets, track students, and perform a wide variety of other tasks. In truth, she couldn’t live without any of the major Office products. She has been an active Office beta tester since its 2002 release and has been working with Office 2007 for many months.
