In the consulting world we live with our computers. Writing, reviewing, and reading documents is what we do. If you see an old worn out keyboard discarded somewhere--it probably came from a consultant. Too many key strokes!!
Since more and more planning is being done regionally, there are multiple "finger prints" on documents since people are electronically reading and reviewing plans, procedures, etc. Here is a tip you can use no matter what your job is:
Have you noticed that when you are reviewing a document many of the track changes and comments show as "Reviewer I" or some other unidentifiable name? If there are multiple people working on a single document it makes it very difficult to determine who made the change and why. If you follow the simple steps below you will ensure that no one else has this problem when reviewing one of your documents.
Please take a moment to ensure your MSOffice user name is correct by doing the following:
1) Open a pre-existing word document.
2) Click on "Tools"
3) Select "Options"
4) Click on the "User Information" tab
5) Enter your name and initials into the appropriate box.
6) Save the document.
This will update your user name and initials for all MSOffice products, and will only need to be done this one time. You do not have to do this every time you create a document.
