Wellington Office User Group

Change of Life

After quite a lot of thought and consultation, we have decided to reduce the frequency of WOUG meetings.

In a nutshell... With the available resources (speakers, venue, support staff, convenor's time), we have been pretty stretched to try and maintain a monthly meeting schedule.

However, there are plenty of people around who are committed to the value of the user group.  So, we will be better able to meet the needs of the Office user community by holding bi-monthly or quarterly meetings.

Next meeting 20 June

So, if you're a Microsoft Office user, in Wellington, mark off Wednesday 20 June, 6:00-7:30 pm.

Amongst other things, Jonathan Stuckey (Microsoft) will be giving a presentation about making the most of the Office 2007 Ribbon, details of how it differs from the Office 2003 toolbars, and how to transition from one to the other.

Further details in due course, or visit the WOUG website.

Venue change

But it's not only a change of schedule happening.  We also have the June meeting sponsored by New Zealand Post, at the initiative of regular group member Aniela Mackiewicz.  So I am excited to announce that we will meet at New Zealand Post House on Waterloo Quay.

Sponsorship

We also have received some sponsorship from ESET.  Those attending the meeting will be in with a chance to win a copy of NOD32, professional strength, award-winning anti-virus software.

Future schedule

Following the June meeting, we will be planning on two further meetings to take us to the end of 2007.  Probably 15 August and 21 November.  If you have an Office-related topic that you would like some input on, please let me know.
