Although my primary job is Document Manager, my purpose is to make life easier for my colleagues. This comes in several forms: organizing and teaching computer software classes, helping colleagues with hardware and software problems at their desktop, and teaching streamlined workflow techniques.For the past few years, I have been automating business processes across different departments with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and vbscript. Processes that once took 36 man-hours to run now take 20-30 minutes. Not having a packaged document management system at my disposal, I developed my own system by automating Microsoft Outlook, Word, and Excel with VBA.In my own department, I have been cross-training in some processes, documenting, automating, improving workflow, and then giving the processes back to the original owner in a better form. This includes replacing massive amounts of printing -- with the associated cost in time and money -- with filing electronic versions of searchable documents.Having the knack for finding helpful solutions and improvements for colleagues not only benefits my company, it also makes my work more interesting, educational, and satisfying. The challenge-to-solutions process is stimulating. I'm having a blast!Specialties: Teaching: Microsoft Windows 7 and the Office 2010 suite: Excel, Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, AccessDoing: technical training, technical writing, Office automation with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) and vbscript, SharePoint 2010 site management
