Cool, new online resource to mention today… The Microsoft Work Essentials Web site has started new discussion forums for those who use Office in finance, sales, marketing, office administration, project management, and IT roles. You can post questions in the Work Essentials Community Forums and moderators will help you find answers from their community of experts.

These forums are just getting started – so jump in and take advantage of the opportunity … and help make a success of a new online resource at the same time.

Check out the Work Essentials forums here: http://forums.microsoft.com/WorkEssentials/default.aspx?SiteID=32
