Question

best application for creating a manual such as policies and procedures

Anonymous

Out of all of the Microsoft office products, which app do you think would be the best to create a comprehensive 500 page procedures manual? Obviously word is the first choice but is there another application or Microsoft product that might be built better for this type of document? Allowing better collaboration with other policy makers?

Hi Dennis,

Thanks for posting. This isn't really Insider info, but here are some ideas. You're right, starting with Word would be probably your best bet for creating a document, but there are other tools that will make other jobs easier. Also unless only one person is doing it, you'll want to have collaboration.

Here's a link to some info on enterprise productivity tools of Office 365

Some of the other product you might want to look are

Word of course for documents.
Excel for spreadsheets and graphing.
PowerPoint for slide and presentation generation.
Project for project planning and tracking.
Visio for org charts, network schematics, and pretty much anything graphic you can think of.
SharePoint for team sites and organizing your documents, images, and other content. SharePoint also provides a platform for collaboration, especially with Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Take a look at that site. You can chat with the sales guys who can give you a whole lot more info than I can and help you get what will work best for you.

Thanks.
