I also have a quick check over my emails and calendar for the day, I do have a few meetings today that I also need to attend. I do think it is worth taking a little bit of time when you can to review this sort of information and keeping up to date with your peers. 1630 – Another meeting to attend.

I hate it when an email has several people in the To: line with a request for information or action in the body, but no clear assignation of the action to a particular individual. Pet peeve: Calendar invitations with attachments. People often send me calendar invites that include attachments. Who’s supposed to do what?”.

.© Copyright Patricia Robb 2010 26 October, 2008 Repeating Headers and Footers while in Sections Someone was asking on another site how to repeat a footer for just one section in a document, i.e. a table. She said it would be the same instructions for a table or a document in Word. Minute taking made easier.

Recently I was working with someone on an Excel document. They sent an e-mail wondering if any of the assistants could help them export a document from Excel to Word. Unlike Word you will only see the header repeated when you do a print preview or print the document. To automatically insert a new row at the end of a table.

Coming from a legal background, we were always taught if you are using an acronym or initialism in writing, on the first use you should spell it out and then put the acronym in brackets, which makes a lot of sense and saves a lot of head scratching and searching the document to figure out what the person is referring to. Too much information.

The train turned up on time, I managed to get a seat and was able to check my emails and calendar for the day ahead. 1125 – One of the Directors has popped out of the meeting to ask me to scan a 40 page document without removing the binder for another colleague in the meeting. This takes 10 minutes.
