Schrodinger’s Cat: On the Way to Being a “Power” MS Office User

Schrodinger’s Cat is the resident mascot and guiding spirit of this blog. Having “survived” , hypothetically of course, Erwin Schrodinger’s (in)famous thought experiment, his new mission is to provide expert advice, tips and solutions for users of the Microsoft Office suite of desktop applications.

A knowledge and mastery of the advice contained herein will, among other things:

give you much greater confidence, and much less frustration. in dealing with the numerous challenges that the routine use of the MS Office will confront you with

enable you to explore and utilise some of the approximately 70% of potential use of programs such as Word and Excel, which goes ignored and overlooked by the average user

earn you the lifelong awestruck respect and admiration of your colleagues, friends and family. (Well, maybe – other factors might influence this, so no guarantees.)

In addition to his other accomplishments, Schrodinger’s Cat is also a dedicated cinephile. This accomplishment is all the more remarkable given that most cinemas today have strict prohibitions on the admission of hypothetical cats. This, of course, is just one of the many overtly discriminatory impediments that our society places in the path of imaginary beings.

Of course, the compensating advantage working in favour of Schrodinger’s Cat is that, being entirely hypothetical, he is also completely invisible, so sneaking into cinema screenings is a relatively straightforward matter.
