Almost everyone I know uses Microsoft Office.  And, everyone of those do not use all of its features.  Fortunately, help is on the way.  The employees of Microsoft who actually make the Office product suites have their own blogs with many useful tips.  Here are just a few:

The Microsoft Excel Blog

• Merging or splitting cells or data
• Add a watermark to an Excel worksheet

The Microsoft Word Blog

• Changing page numbers in different sections of a Word document
• Cutting and pasting text without messing up formatting (how it looks)

The Microsoft PowerPoint Blog

• Making an imaging within and image stand out
• Creating custom shapes in PowerPoint 2010

The Microsoft Outlook Blog

• Filtering emails in Outlook
• Conditional Formatting:  Highlight your most important emails

I hope the links above help.  I have found many useful tips on those blogs that have saved lots of time.  Be sure to check them out!
