get organised with Peter Walsh and Office:Mac 2008

  • Artikel

A few months ago, I mentioned that we've been adding video help for Office:Mac 2008. Today, we've added a new video. This time, the video features Peter Walsh talking about how to be better organised with Office:Mac -- build a better budget with Excel, create a family schedule in Entourage, etc. Check it out!

    In a word: ugh. Hopefully I'm simply not the intended audience for this video set... felt to me as if I were being 'talked down to'. IMO I would like to see someone get right into the how-to and have the template(s) ready to download. This seems more like a commercial trying to get me to buy the product I already have installed. I like the posts here in general, and wanted to add a comment to this one... good idea, but missed a great educational opportunity in my opinion. Also the different video sub-sets didnt have the affordances of buttons so I didnt realize at first I could skip sections... and that kinda bugged me (usability). :)

    Is it just that you dislike the Peter Walsh video that we've just added, or do you not like any of the other videos as well? Are there particular areas where you think some video help would really help you out?

    How much did you guys pay Mr. Walsh to do this video? I have nothing against him or the whole concept, just interested out of curiosity sake.

    I like the concept, and honestly havent seen any of the other videos. In general it simply seemed to be more of a 'why you should get Mac Office' moreso than 'here are some great ways to use Mac Office' [with walk-throughs and/or templates]. My particular need was looking for practical application and how-to, although this video seems to be for sales. But it also seems to be placed in a non-sales section of the MS Mac site... which confused me also. IMO: talk to me like a friend [in the video], not like a life-coach. :) Keep up the posts!

    Hi Nadyne - sorry for the late reply. I think in general what would be helpful is the standard PC > Mac changeover situation... Maybe something like:

  • In Outlook you used to do this... and in Entourage you do it like this...

  • etc... Likely my largest pain-point is that I've worked in Windows (Outlook, Office, Visio) for many years and using their equivalents on the Mac has been... interesting. ;)
