The Office

Advantages: Funny, nice love story, comedy
Disadvantages: None

...The Office has to be one of the funniest sitcoms of recent times. Any one who has ever worked in an office environment can relate I think to the situations the actors find themselves in and probably have a similar story of their own as well. I think this is one of the reasons why it is so funny and became so successful. The Office I think was different because it approached the sitcom genre in an interesting way by having the format of a documentary. The office in question was that of Wernham Hogg Paper Company based in Slough, Berkshire. They had a camera crew in the office that basically filmed their every day lives in the office and all the drama and relationships that come with that. Like I?ve said, even though the show was made in the form of a documentary the show was fictional and scripted. It was interesting though because...

Microsoft Office Professional

Advantages: IT'S COOL LOOKING
Disadvantages: YOU HAVE A DEADLINE TO MEET?.....DON'T USE!!

...a better result? gee!! not for me at least because, what i feel working with the product is CLUMSINESS, i practically have to look for almost every thing(buttons) to carry out some functions ( THANK GOD FOR SOME SHORT CUTS). One good thing that was done on it anyways, is the fact that you are presented with different "Save AS" options. But take my advice, if you have to work with MS office professional 2007, be sure you save your documents with the "97 - 2003" option because God help you if you are sending that finished document to someone like myself who has decided to stick with MS office 2003 ( atmost 2005) and believe it or not there are quite a number out there. My opinion - Microsoft Office Professional 2007 is cool, but i LOVE my reliable and dependable and easy to USE MS office professional 2003....

Microsoft Office - Essential for any business or individual

Advantages: Many packages on one disc which will save you time.
Disadvantages: Price is high

...Intro Microsoft Office has always been an essential piece of kit for any business or individual who works on his computer. Since Windows 95 when office really took off, users all of the world trust it for keeping track of their finances with Excel, for word processing with word or for creating great presentation with PowerPoint. But Microsoft Office can be used for a whole lot more. I use Office as an email client using Outlook. Each of these packages are good by themselves but together they are extremely efficient and can save you a lot of time and in business time is money. There are many packages on this one disc, so I will highlight the main ones. Microsoft Word For anybody who types up documents on their pc or just writes notes, Word is absolutely essential. The documents that you create using Word are professional...

Complete Overhaul of the Office Suite

Advantages: Ease of use, Fantastic AutoFormats & Increased Features
Disadvantages: Experienced users will find it hard at the start to find known features

...General Opinion As an IT Trainer I have used and taught the Microsoft Office suite for 9 years and this is the most exciting change to hit our PCs in years. It is not just an upgrade on an old idea but a complete overhaul of the system. Gone are the old menus and toolbars and in their place is a new feature called the Ribbon. Where once you could turn toolbars on and off accidentally never to be seen again this version allows its users to play around with all the features without the fear of losing any functionality. For new users it is more intuative with the features being grouped together and being more visual. There are many Automatic Formatting features which give your documents a much more professional look in a much shorter time. More Visible Features Some examples of the earlier hidden...

Shoes, and not just for the Office!

Advantages: lots of variety, designer, friendly staff, on the main street
Disadvantages: pricey

...A few years ago one of the closed-down shops on Union Street, Aberdeen, was revamped and turned into an Office shop. Despite what the name suggests, you will not find stationary and electricals here! No, this sells something completely different - shoes! This is one amazing shoe shop, I'm thrilled we have one now! The shop is situated in between two clothes shops so it is hardly ever empty and perfect for when you are in need for some intense shopping! The downside to this though is the fact that these other shops also sell a selection of shoes at a cheaper price. Office always seems to be doing fine though. When you walk in the door, the till is directly in front of you. You will notice rows upon rows of womens' shoes on the shelves and displays around you. There are so many colours and styles that you simply do not know where to look...

Review of Office (Shop), Aberdeen

The Office Masterpeice

Advantages: Unique, Funny, Culturally Sound, Entertaining, Good Story
Disadvantages: Humor isn't suited to everyone, Maybe be hard to 'get' if you don't live in England

...The Office is a sitcom done is faux-documentary style, as a camera crew follow the life of the manager of a small-time paper merchants based in the fairly unglamorous setting of Slough, England. It might not sound like the most intriguing, exciting or thrilling piece of TV, but it is a credit to the genius of it's creators Stephen Merchant, who appeared in a brief cameo role in one episode and Ricky Gervais who plays the starring role as the main character and the man who the 'documentary' is based around. David Brent (played by Ricky Gervais) is introduced straight away and the audience quickly discovers that he is a middle-aged man who is a very unique, quirky and odd character who is seemingly fixated on being accepted and acknowledged as a 'cool' and popular boss. He tells jokes which cause awkward silences, he gets himself into...

Review of The Office - Complete (Box Set) (DVD)

Light up your desk or not

Advantages: Can move the light into any position
Disadvantages: Gets way to hot

...Just before Christmas I brought myself I new desk for my computer and I decided that I would also get myself a lamp for the desk as I only had the main light of the room, so I had a look round and found this one, it looked ideal. ~Product~ It is an adjustable lamp. You have the option of moving 3 different parts of the lamp. At the top you have the head which you can move up and down or from side to side depending where you want the light to shine, you as have a metal stick that comes out of the head so you can move the head to where you want it. Then you have the mid section, this part just goes up and down so you can adjust the height of the lamp, which again I found very helpful. Then you have the bottom section this you can move round 360 degrees to suit you, so you have the light exactly how you want it. It came with a GU...

He is a Gentleman but will he make an Officer?

Advantages: Great love story, excellent acting
Disadvantages: None from me

...Well I have been eyeing this DVD up for some time but never bought it as hubby tells me I have seen it as I watched it with him but for the life I me I cannot remember ever seeing it. Last night I decided we would watch it as I really liked the look of it, the added bonus being that Richard Gere is in it! The film is about Zack Mayo who has had a rough childhood, his mother killed herself and he went to live with his Dad who is a Navy man so he spent his life moving around from port to port. He finally decides that he is going to try the Navy Officers recruitment course. Zack is accepted on the course and has to give 13 weeks of training which includes some daunting and gruelling tasks. The course is being run by a very strict Drill Instructor, who does start to have a bit of respect for Zack after he is pout through his paces but...

Review of An Officer And A Gentleman (DVD)

Microsoft Office Home and Student 2007, slow but perfect.

Advantages: New look, good for beginners, easy to instal, more professional tools
Disadvantages: Slower then the old one, hard to find sertain things in the new menus

...When i first got the new office, i already loved how the case looked. Really stylish and professional. Even the DVD had a nice touch to its looks. The only thing bad about the case is that i had to figure out how to open it correctly. When i put the dvd into my computer, it didn't gave any errors (as to be expected) and it asked me if i wanted to run it, which i did. After the smooth installation (which took about +-10 minutes), i could start it up and i was blown away by the new looks of it. The only thing i was looking for in the first 5 minutes was how to save and load my files, but then i descovered that the new big button was the new file->load/save menu. Now, i've never really did alot more with office then making some nice Graphs with Exel and writing alot in the documents, but with the new Word you can do alot, just by...
