If You Use Microsoft Office,
You Need This!

Friday, July 30, 2010

Dear Friend,

If you use Microsoft Office, and by that we mean Office 97, Office 2000, or the latest incarnation, Office XP, then you're going to be glad you took the time to read this page. We have the tools and the help you need to tame Office like a pro.

Let's face it. Microsoft Office and its various applications are overwhelmingly massive, complex, and difficult to use. We know, we've been working with Office since before Office was even called Office. As professional developers we have built some amazing solutions to help us in our daily work, and all those solutions are now available to you on one convenient CD-ROM disc entitled:
the PRIME for Office Utilities CD.

It doesn't matter if you're a novice Office user or a long-time user, because we put the power of these utilities right in the palm of your hand, or we should say at the click of your mouse. We've written a clear, concise, and friendly ebook How to Save Time with Office that will show you how to use our utilities to get real work done with Office!

Our ebook will show you step by step how to use our PRIME utilities and how to become an Office master in nothing flat! We'll take you through each utility and show you how to use each one to unlock the true potential of Office.

Our DocLauncher utility comes with over 300 features that you can use on all your Office documents and all other file types, and it works across all Office applications. In addition to DocLauncher, there are over 80 custom Word and Excel utilities! Over three dozen Quick Clicks that give you one-click access to some of Office's handiest, but hardest to find, treasures.

But what makes it easy is the included How to Save Time with Office ebook that takes you through each of our utilities and show you how to use each of these fabulous helpers to unlock the true potential of Office. This ebook (in PDF format) will show you STEP BY STEP how to use each of the PRIME utilities to become an Office master.

So, Who Are These Guys?

Okay, easy for us to talk the talk, but can we deliver on our promise? These utilities are developed by PRIME Consulting Group, Inc., a consulting company founded in 1992. Lee Hudspeth and T.J. Lee (the smiling chaps whose pictures grace the top of this page) are the principals of PRIME Consulting Group. Mike Craven is the firm's Senior Programmer. The three of us have personally developed the utilities on the PRIME for Office Utilities CD. PRIME Consulting Group has a wide range of systems analysis, development, and programming skills to offer in the areas of Microsoft Office, VBA, Visual Basic, and Windows consulting. All these skills and resources went into the development of this CD and the accompanying ebook.

Our client list also speaks to the quality of our work. That list includes dozens of high-profile organizations such as Avery Dennison, Hughes Space and Communications, J. D. Power & Associates, Microsoft Corporation, and the U.S. Air Force, to name just a few.

The general public is interested in what we have to say about Office, PCs, and productivity. Lee and T.J. have written nine critically-acclaimed computer books, six of them on Microsoft Office and its various applications, and have won a Computer Press Association award and the prestigious 1999 National Magazine Award. They were inaugural members of Microsoft's Consultant Relations Program that evolved into Microsoft's Solution Provider Program, of which PRIME Consulting Group was an original member.

Many of you reading this know Lee and T.J. as publishers of the biweekly electronic newsletter The Naked PC that helps you improve your daily productivity by the effective use of your PC and the Internet. The Naked PC routinely includes Office-specific tips, articles, reviews, and case studies.

We have put every single ounce of our hard-won knowledge, skills, and experience--which cumulatively amounts to over 40 years of system development and programming--into the utilities on the PRIME for Office Utilities CD. Having published a total of 14 world-class Office add-in utilities, we really know Office backwards and forwards. We have programmed these utilities to put you in charge of Office.

Here are some of the accolades won by these utilities.

Here are just a few of the ways that these utilities will save you untold hours when using Office.

All of our PRIME for Office 2000 and 97 utilities on this CD support Windows 95 in addition to the operating systems mentioned above.)

Quickly and efficiently tweak Word's and Excel's toolbar properties, document properties, super-secret hidden document variables, heading text, smart quote settings, task pane settings, current windows, zoom settings, formula and notation display, cell fill color, lock/unlock/unlink fields, and several dozen additional handy, time-saving procedures.

DocLauncher automatically integrates with Windows Explorer to provide you with easy right-click access to its powerful commands.
