Last evening a group of us went out to dinner at a popular Italian restaurant. Apparently the dinner order wasn’t to the satisfaction of one very nasty gentleman, and as he raised his voice and insulted the young server, everyone in the restaurant and bar area turned around almost snarling with disdain aimed toward the rude customer.

We differ from what I call the "digital filing cabinet" solutions in the market in that we're not only focused on helping you save and access what you want to remember, but also to help you out when you're ready to take action. Yes, we do think of ourselves as more of a personal assistant and not just a digital filing cabinet.

I always synch all of my files from my main Mac computer in my home office to Dropbox so that I am sure to have all of them handy while on the road by using the app on my phone and tablet. Enjoy 1 or 2 delicacies when you're in those 5 Star restaurants, and balance it out with clean eating in between. Use a good task tool.

I have gotten in the habit of doing this frequently during the day and hardly even think about it until the system shuts down for some reason and then I breathe a sigh of relief when I open the document (by pressing Ctrl + o by the way) and find that I have not lost any of my work. Ctrl + a - Selects the whole document.

Try to anticipate the need so you can have the file or the answer your boss needs, before he or she even knows they need it. A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do. Be one step ahead of your boss. Be protective of your boss’s time.

Unlike Word you will only see the header repeated when you do a print preview or print the document. Or if you want to attach a file, choose Attach File.
