Organizing Software
By Nancy Kruschke McKinney

Organize your documents and files using computer software.  Why spend minutes or hours searching for that document or file you knew you saved, utilize computer software to assist you in:

• Streamlining your office

• Lower your stress level

• Eliminate duplication

• Transfer files into valuable retrievable resources

• Reduce disruption from employee turnover

Software available (this is just a partial list):

• Microsoft Word (http://www.microsoft.com/office/word/default.asp)

• Microsoft Excel (http://www.microsoft.com/office/excel/default.asp)

• Paper Tiger (http://www.thepapertiger.com/)

• File Wise (http://www.organizeyourworld.com/filewisepage1.htm)

Most of us already have Microsoft Word and Excel on our computers.  Consider using a table or spreadsheet to keep track of where you file various documents or computer files.

The Paper Tiger and File Wise software are basically spreadsheets that are customized to assist in creating a system to manage and locate various documents, papers, files, and much more.  For more information, please consult their websites.
