It is time to buy new Office 2013 products, which are best for you?
The old days of just buying it and installing Microsoft Office from a disk are long gone. Now they have all the products online and are tracked by email account for purchasing and downloading. I have already downloaded my software this way and enjoy it. The install was easy and no more 25 long code to type in. The installation process is fairly simple and you should not have issues with it.
You can purchase 2 types of software from Microsoft from their online store; the product suite or their handy pay per month/year package. I’m not recommending one over another, but you should definitely consider your household, computers and how many need new software and then figure out your budget.
If you have a house full of computers, the 5 install deal seems nice. And you can pay monthly or yearly for this. The upside of buying a subscription is that’s what you are buying, a subscription to hold the license and install on 5 computers. If you buy the suite, you can install on one computer and will probably need to call Microsoft if you need to release it and move to a new computer.
So what’s your preference? As I said, the subscription service is a nice feature. Below is a chart I took from the Microsoft site to show you the products.

How to share a calendar in Hosted Exchange or Microsoft Office 365
Below are simple instructions on how to share a calendar with other members of your team in Hosted Exchange or Microsoft Office 365.
How to add a member to view your calendar
Start by right clicking on your calendar and go to “Properties”
Then click on “Permissions” tab
Click “Add” and select in the Address Book “Global Address List” for the mailbox you want to share the calendar with and select the members name and click on “Add” at the bottom of the window.
Now you have to determine the level of permission. View guide below for appropriate levels.
Common are “Free/Busy” , “Reviewer” and “Publishing Author”
Found this handy guide from UNC-Chapel Hill Help & Support page
| Permission Level | Definition |
| Owner: | Allows full rights to the mailbox’s (Calendar or Folder) , including assigning permissions; it is recommended not to assign this role to anyone |
| Publishing Editor: | Create, read, edit, and delete all items; create subfolders |
| Editor: | Create, read, edit, and delete all items |
| Publishing Author: | Create and read items; create subfolders; edit and delete items created by the user. |
| Author: | Create and read items; edit and delete items they’ve created. |
| Nonediting Author: | Create and read items; delete items created by the user. |
| Reviewer: | Read items. |
| Contributor: | Create items. |
| Free/Busy time, subject, location: | View the time, subject, and location of the appointment or meeting on your calendar. |
| Free/Busy time: | Shows only as Free or Busy on your calendar. No details are provided. |
| None: | No permissions are set for the selected user on the specified calendar or folder. |
Now the member has permissions
How to view the other members calendar
Open Outlook and click on “File” then go to “Open”, and select “Other User’s Folder”
Click on “Name” and select the team member from the global address list. And also select “Folder Type” Calendar. Click OK
You will now see your team members calendar in your list of calendars until “Shared Calendar”. You will also see their calendars in your SmartPhone unless you turn off these settings.
More info
You will now see the other calendar in a side by side mode, you can select “Overlay” mode which gives you just one calendar. You can go to the top of Outlook and select “View” and then “Overlay”

What type of emailer are you?
Every day while I’m helping my Outlook clients, I learn quite a bit about people and how they manage their lives. Outlook is usually their “life manager” with email, calendar and contacts working in synchronization.
I know it manages my life and those that help me run the business. Since they have access to my calendar and some email folders, I try to keep it managed for others to help me run the company. Try is the keyword, it’s not easy to get my brain from my way to thinking to a way others understand, after all…my brain is not a computer.
Now during all these years of helping clients, I have figured out there are a few types of emailers. Part of the joys of what I do for a living is getting remoted into a computer and seeing how my clients work, this helps me repair their Outlook believe it or not.
The Four Types of Email Users
1.) The type that deletes everything out of the inbox, it’s clean as a whistle! You keep nothing, you don’t need it, why have it around? You usually don’t have many Outlook problems do you?
2.) You have 180 emails in your inbox and you think you have a lot and it’s wasting space. You have no folders, no rules and just feel that 180 is too many. You’re not sure what to keep or throw, so you just delicately go through those emails and keep only what you need.
3.) The type that keeps everything in your inbox, never sorts, has rules or moves anything. You may have 4000 unread emails and it doesn’t bother you a bit. You use the search feature and love it! You probably do have size issues on occasion or a major slow down in your Outlook. You’re smart enough to know to delete stuff, but are scared but do is cautiously.
4.) You’re over obsessed with managing every email, have 50 folders, massive amounts of rules, heck…you maxxed out the rule limit! You never delete, you keep everything somewhere and live and breathe out of your smartphones and iPads, you can’t wait one minute for a new email. Email is your money and your money is your life. Having 10,000 unread emails is nothing to you, it’s just a database right? Keep it all!
Then there are the types in the middle. Currently with the Smartphone phenomenon, I’ve had to learn how to do many new “therapy sessions” (aka..Outlook help) and am learning how those folks work.
If you are experiencing Outlook or email issues or need to get all of your computers and devices in synch, try our hosted exchange opportunities, feel free to give me a call. I can help. (Or email me!) Lisa@callthatgirl.biz
