Ten years of top tips to help you 'tame your computer'

We all take our computers for granted, but the software we use is capable of so much more – if we only knew how to master it! That's why – back in 2003 – Karen Roem, software training expert, started publishing weekly computer tips. Ten years on, she is still delivering valuable time-saving tricks, hints and shortcuts.

"I specialise in Microsoft Office applications," explains Karen, who heads her own training and support company, Roem Limited. "And I know through my training sessions that people absolutely love to find new ways to save time or effort – through fewer mouse clicks, or by using keyboard shortcuts that mean you don't need the mouse at all.

"I was teaching people about some of these hints and tips, and collecting others as I carried out training, so thought it would be a good idea to share them more widely. In 2003 I started a free subscription service to weekly computer tips and found that a number of business publications and websites were also interested in publishing them (including the Cambridge Network - where Karen writes a regular 'Tame your computer' column).

"To date I have 394 tips on my website and every week I discover more; sometimes through my own work, but often through my course delegates, who offer their own ideas.

"My enthusiasm for making technology work well for people has never waned and I look forward to continuing to help people make the most of their software.”
