I just took your first 1 hour session on the Free Training: SharePoint Services 3.0 Basic through Power User. I found it to be very beneficial.
I just became a memeber of your site as I was interested in receiving the additional classes (the 10 hours of free training). I am looking for the next session. How do I find them?

Thanks, Amy

You might be surprised to know that all the items on this list can be accomplished through SharePoint Services. MOSS not required.

The only item where I should have more clearly designated 2003 vs 2007 functionality is #16. Outlook 2003 will only do a one-way sync to SharePoint contacts and calendars. You’ll need Outlook 2007 to work offline with those I mentioned in the post.

The rest of the items can easily be done by the everyday user (with the right permission level) if you have some training or guidance. I happen to offer both in the form of one-on-one training and support, and on-demand video training on my E-Learning Center at http://www.virtualassist.net/elearning at a very affordable price. All my training is centric around the user, not the IT staff. It takes you from basic usage to customizing the forms and lists to creating dashboards. Easy to understand and implement.

Your list above is terrific, but may I suggest that you consider:
- marking MOSS-only items *as* MOSS-only, and
- updating your list with an asterisk (*) next to the items that require Office 2007, with a corresponding asterisk next to the sentence “A few of the ideas above do require Office 2007.” (My workplace will be getting Office 2007, but only later in 2009, so it would be helpful to know up front what is not available to us.)

These two changes will make your “Top 20 Ways” list truly valuable to all readers – not just those who are lucky enough to have both Office 2007 and MOSS, or those who have already worked out where the different functionalities lie.
