14 DAY TRIAL // Microsoft has tapped what it referred to as an internationally renowned organization expert, in order to provide users of its Office 2007 equivalent for Mac OS X with tips to clean up digital clutter. An initiative from Microsoft's Macintosh Business Unit (MacBU), the videos featuring Walsh are designed to improve the organizational skills of users running Office 2008 for Mac. The first video with the de-cluttering techniques for Office 2008 for Mac is already available via the company's Mactopia website, dedicated entirely to the products built by MacBU.
“Getting organized needs to be simple — no one wants to have to deal with finding and learning new programs that just add to the clutter,” Walsh revealed. “Office 2008 for Mac has all the applications you need and know on one disc that work together to create what I call your ‘digital organization hub’ to break through the mess and regain order.”
Office 2008 for Mac was made available to the general public in January 2008, almost a year after the Office 2007 System was offered for Windows users. According to the software giant, Office 2008 for Mac is one of the most popular solutions running on Apple computers. The Redmond company revealed that Office for Mac had been installed and was running on over three quarters of Macs.
Via MacBU, Walsh is on a mission to help Mac owners use Office 2008 for Mac as efficiently as possible. Boosting productivity is a process with multiple aspects, starting from organizing family schedules to making sure that finances are up to date and that health-related tasks are done right on time. “Learn how to build a better budget in Excel, for example, or how to create a family schedule in Entourage. Walsh is best known for authoring four best-selling books on organization and for appearing as a regular guest on TLC’s “Clean Sweep,” “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” and XM Sirius Oprah Radio, where he has shared expert advice for combating clutter since 2006,” reads a message from Microsoft.
