Autodesk Tip ~ Online Business Tip ~ Excel Tip
The most fascinating start to any year that I can remember. A large amount of the world is in political turmoil including South Africa. This may be the year that we learn that "May you live in interesting times" really is a curse.

There are two useful actions that you can take with renewals. The first is moving from Maintenance Subscription to Annual.
Why is this a good idea?
The US Dollar pricing will be fixed until 2030 - does that sound good?
If you don't choose this option, maintenance renewals will go up by 20% per annum.
The second is looking at two or three year subscriptions when you renew or buy for the first time. This means that you have secured your subscription for those time periods and will save money.

Google is the world's most popular search engine. So it helps to know a bit more than the average about using it.
It is easy to go to www.google.co.za and type in words to search for. But sometimes, we want to exclude some terms.
Say, for example, that we want to find someone who will do upholstery. Or we want to see who is competing with our upholstery business.
If we search for the words upholstery Sandton, we also get many upholstery cleaners. We do not want them. The trick, then, is to use a word that we want to exclude, preceded by a minus, thus: upholstery Sandton -clean. This will exclude pages containing the word "clean" (and "cleaning", and "cleaners").

Try him for all your accounting needs as we can recommend him.
.
We are looking at what is new in Excel 2016 for Windows Desktop, compared with Excel 2010.
With Excel 2013, Microsoft (for reasons that remain unexplained) changed from a Multiple Document Interface (MDI) to Single Document Interface (SDI). In plain language, Excel 2010 and earlier allowed you to open many files in one instance of Excel. If, for some reason, you wanted a file in a separate Excel window, you could run another instance of Excel. Excel 2013 and 2016 force this behaviour. No longer can you open several files in Excel: Each file you open, appears as a separate instance of Excel, with its own ribbon and toolbar taking up screen space.
With 2013 and later, when you close the file, you also close Excel. If you wanted to open or start another file thereafter, you have to run Excel again!
This stupidity, plus an uglier, less usable program, and ever more useless Help, are the major reasons we continue to use Excel 2010. We do not recommend that you downgrade to Excel 2013 or 2016 if you have a choice. Many complaints can be found online, for example here, but regrettably Microsoft is now too big and arrogant to listen to users..
Computer addiction, you might have, when you spend plane trip with laptop on your lap ...and your child in the overhead compartment.
All the Best from the team!
