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.

Meeting documents: some people have it printed single sided and others double sided. It is very hard to follow along when not all members have the document printed the same way. I have a love/hate relationship with the email autofill. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday. I shut it off!

Proofing documents can also be funny. As a matter of fact one of the girls who worked with us at the time when she read this post e-mailed me to laugh about it again :) I will check out the links you have given me. I am on holidays right now, but am always interested in what others are doing. What a start to a Monday morning.

The CEO I was working for at the time was very busy and my meeting scheduling skills were put to the test. He was also an international traveler so I had to learn everything about time zones, flights and everything in between when your boss travels to a foreign country. And travel he did.

A good assistant knows just where to find the document or file needed, or they won’t stop looking till they do. I finally had a chance to sit down and read your book over the holiday.

Many times I need to proof text and comment with my thoughts before he even looks at it. Of course my comments are limited because the subject matter is not my expertise, but he relies on my input and corrections to make the document look good. Some emails are obviously junk.

For paper things that I need to remember to follow up on, I put the letter or document in my Wait Bin (which is a tray for things I am waiting on). That wouldnt work for me because I dont have that many paper documents to bring forward, but I can see it being necessary if you have lots of items. Where can I put this paper? Thats great!

i.e. My boss will send an email with a cc to me and on the last line or buried in the message he will write something like “I have copied Patricia to set up a teleconference at a mutually convenient time.&# This is especially helpful in the case that there are attachments in the email. There could be a message for you.

Musings of a High-Level Executive Assistant

JANUARY 8, 2013

This company is so ginormous I am having a dizzy time of trying to wrap my brain around what all they do – various forms of power, civil engineering, and then the IT services side of it. I am learning time zones and currencies and every day I am shaking in my boots that it might be too much but I want it so dang bad!

I gradually started to spend more and more time playing with the app than writing code. It took around 45 minutes top, including reading the documentation and writing the code. Every time I needed to use a new UI control, all I had to do was to read the local Apple doc and look over the sample code. It felt nice. Complicated.
