  3. PowerPoint Present Online (was known as Broadcasting in older versions) – replaces video conferencing for showing your presentations and allows you to present your presentation on an online platform
  4. MS Project – the 3 key factors when setting up a Gantt Chart are auto scheduling, Start date and Set working times and calendars
  5. Advanced Filtering in Excel – reaches parts of data which other filters cannot reach!
  6. Outlook – Categorise in colour all your appointments, meetings to make them stand out clearly in your Outlook Calendar. You can set up categories for different areas of your work, different people, anything you want!
