Remember when it used to be a key point on your resume when you could say you were proficient in Word? Now, it's a given. Can't use a word processor? Well, then you're probably not getting that job. But it's more than that now. It's everything from knowing how to make basic tables to incorporating reports from other programs.
Personally, I like the Microsoft suite in general. I like how far they've come from the old type and save as program I used in middle school. I also have been very lucky in that my past job really encouraged me to learn the ins and outs of all of our computer programs. I was able to take classes and spend time looking up tutorials online until I felt confident enough to train the rest of the staff on whatever the new program was.
What are the new "Microsoft Word" skills you think will become standard in the next decade for your resume? Lately I feel like I've seen a lot of job postings that want experience in basic html and social networking.
