Microsot OfceTemplate Training
Right Aligned employs an on-the-job
training methodology. This approachensures a ocus on educating users on thebest practices relevant to their templates.
Our methodology diers rom traditional Microsot Ofce training because it
concentrates on teaching users how to ollow the corporate style guide within
the confnes o Microsot Ofce.
Teaching someone how to use the eatures
o Microsot Ofce without relating it to
the templates they use is ineective. It is
similar to explaining the eatures o a car to
someone without starting the engine and
demonstrating them whilst driving.
Why is this Approach Important?
Correctly created templates contain all
sorts o timesaving eatures that most
users would love to implement but sadly
have no idea how to fnd. A common
example o this in Microsot Word is how to
speed up the ormatting o a document by
using Word styles. Our template styles save
our clients considerable processing time.
So why is the Template so Important?
Right Aligned has trained hundreds o our
clients using the templates they use by
employing web conerencing technology
to ensure costs are minimised. Recently
we trained a company o 1,600 sta on
an upgraded 2010 template suite that we
built.Our template styles save our clients
considerable processing time.

The Importanceo a Style Guide
The art in creating Microsot Ofcebranded templates is the combinationo the designers vision or the templateslook and the users eel experiencewith the template.
A style guide is the documented link between the design o a
template and the most efcient way o reproducing the design
in the chosen design package.
Style guides are crucial as they provide a
detailed description o the correct settings
o the design package. This enables usersto re-create the designers impression o a
document.
This becomes the basis or the inormation
required to train all sta successully in the
re-creation o these documents.
Why are Style Guides Important?
A user style guide is created by the
template developer when they are creating
the suite o templates. The templatedevelopers mission is to ensure as many
o the design eatures are set within the
design package.
The style guide is then made available
to corporate trainers or the end users
responsible or creating the document.
How are Style Guides Used?
Right Aligned has been responsible or
creating style guides that beneft corporate
branding or multinationals. There havebeen countless documents created
ollowing the styles guides that Right
Aligned has established

Microsot OfceConsulting
Right out o the box, Microsot Ofce is apowerul business tool
but there are so many ways you can turbo charge its perormance.
Eliminating repetitive tasks, delivering expert skills, and deploying the
best versions o common materials are three ways Right Aligned can
enhance your business productivity.
Sometimes what you need to accomplish
with the standard Microsot Ofce package
is ar too time consuming. By utilising
Microsots programming languages, you
can take advantage o your computers
power and eliminate many repetitive tasks.
This approach can be a signifcant time
saver.
Why can this be Important?
Using Microsots VBA and .NET ramework,
the standard Microsot Ofce package can
be extended to produce powerul results.
Whether you are creating a dashboard
or your business development teams in
Excel, or a customised colour palette or
PowerPoint, tasks beyond native Ofce are
markedly improved.
What programming laungage?
We have created customised colour and
template palettes or older versions o
PowerPoint and developed customised
reporting using the latest version o Excel.
We have also devised a bridge between the
custom output o a cloud based database
and branded Word templates.

Microsot Ofce Automation:VBA Macro/Toolbar Development
Why We did it?
To create a user-riendly, macro-driven toolbar which would allow the user quick
access to the most common unctionality in PowerPoint. This simplifes the
process o compiling branded documents, saving time and ultimately cost to both
the company and client.
What We did?
We managed the creation o the toolbar rom frst drat through to completion, and
assisted in the rollout to individual users. With our experience with presentation
packages, we provided proessional guidance on additional options and eatures
to enhance unctionality.
The toolbar was context driven which enabled it to determine which template was
being used, in print or onscreen. It also ensured that the assets and tools were
appropriate to the template.
Branded tables and charts, and additional slide elements could be easily added to
slides. This eliminated the need to re-create them each time they were required.
Who We Helped?
Added Value a brand development and marketing insight consultancy
What Value did the Client receive?
The individual user not only gained quick access to specifc unctions, eliminating
repetitive tasks but also gained knowledge and confdence. This reduced their
workload, cut costs and ultimately improved the value and brand o the company
with a uniorm look and eel.
