This book is outstanding. Dr. Paranjape does a fantastic job of explaining how the various Microsoft 365 applications work individually and how they work together (integrated). Dr. Paranjape provides easy to understand details and convinces you that, even if you are currently able to get your work done, there is a better, smarter, or faster way available through efficient utilization of Microsoft 365 tools. Implementing some of the practices described by Dr. Paranjape will give you immediate benefits in productivity. This book is perfect for anyone who needs to get up to speed on Microsoft 365 quickly and will be valuable for novices and experts alike.

Resistance to change is a universal human trait. As creatures of habit, we are so used to doing things "our way", that we don't stop to think if there is a better way to do it.Today, all of us juggle packed schedules. Getting an extra hour or half in a day can make a vital difference. One of the easiest ways to do this is to optimize the way we use Microsoft Office. And that task has been made supremely easy by Dr. Nitin Paranjpe in his new book "Efficiency best practices". Across every page of this fast paced, interesting and information packed book are numerous tips that constantly make you think "Why didn't I think of that before?"This book brilliantly explains tips and tricks that show you change is easy, change is for good, and that change can be productive. Packed with QR codes to helpful videos and sample documents, this book is a must for anyone who uses a computer. Also, the book is not a training manual - instead, it's a roadmap for personal productivity and it's organized that way. What's even better is that Dr. Nitin doesn't just talk about useful features, more interestingly, he tells you how to look for those nuggets by yourself - which is truly empowering. It does not matter if you're an expert or a novice - there is something useful that you will learn on every page.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

How do I buy Early Access content? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
