5 Administrative Assistant's UPDATE 1 2 3 get distracted by the gym, the coffee shop or anything online. I've been self-employed for almost 25 years, and while I face the very same pros and cons in my business, I wouldn't trade it for the world. You'll learn discipline (or you won't be successful). You'll learn balance (or you won't have any relationships). You'll learn fi nancial control (or you won't have any money). Starting your own business can be fun, motivating and energizing. Be smart about how you set it up, how you transition and how you design your own VA business. Maybe you're meant to run your own VA business!

To co-author with others, you need: • Co-authors • A shared storage area » OneDrive, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Online, or a SharePoint Server document library to store your fi les. » Real-time co-authoring requires the online versions. » Regular co-authoring works with on premise Share- Point Server but not real-time. • Apps that support co-authoring » Word and PowerPoint on all platforms, and on all ver- sions since Offi ce 2010, Excel Online, Android, and Windows Mobile. » Real-time co-authoring is supported on Word for Windows Desktop 2016, and Word, PowerPoint and Excel Online. • A co-authoring compatible document format » Co-authoring is only supported on newer fi le formats such as .docx, .pptx, and .xlsx. » VBA macros are not supported in co- authoring documents. » Documents with Track Changes enabled do not support real-time typ- ing in Word but you can still co-author. Save a document and collaborate The co-authoring process may vary slightly by product ver- sion but the concepts are the same. 1. Save and share the document to the Cloud OneDrive or SharePoint. 2. Invite people to work on the docu- ment with you. 3. Invite yourself by getting a docu- ment link. 4. Start co-authoring. The process for co- authoring documents in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint follows the same steps. Happy co-authoring!
