In his Office Weblog, Marc Orchant links to a PC Magazine collection of 106 Tips & Tricks for Office. Scoble links to Marc’s entry.
But neither one of them mentions what John Walkenbach and I pointed out several weeks ago: PC Mag’s layout is downright user-hostile. Each tip is on its own page and is surrounded by so many ads it’s almost impossible to find. To get through the 106 Office tips and the 68 Windows tips in that issue, you would have to wear out your index finger clicking the mouse.
I understand the need to support a site with ads. Hey, I’ve got some on this site too. But you also need to show a basic respect for your customers. PC Mag doesn’t do that, which is why I can’t recommend this collection of tips.
One good advice is (before going to pcmag.com) to set IE not to show pictures (tools>internet options>advanced and uncheck the “show pictures” option button)
