Our series of PRIME add-in suites for Microsoft Office has always focused on the customer's insatiable appetite for productivity. Every single tool we write is designed to enrich the customer's experience when working with the Office application in question. For example, our new PRIME WorkBar feature. It's a one-click dynamic list of your favorite files that appears on Word's menu bar and is smart enough to sort the list for you, among numerous other intelligent features. Every customer who has used this tool has expressed to us, "WorkBar works with my favorite files just the way I do. From now on, Word won't be Word without PRIME WorkBar. Kudos, PRIME!"

As many of you -- our TNPC subscribers -- know, PRIME Consulting Group's mission to promote, augment, and enhance Microsoft Office extends across several key dimensions. The firm's founders, Lee Hudspeth and T.J. Lee, are noted authors in the field, having published over half a dozen critically acclaimed books on Office and individual Office products with more in the works. Most recently, Lee, T.J., and compadre Woody Leonhard co-authored all the books in the best-selling Office Annoyances book series (O'Reilly and Associates) covering Outlook, Excel, Word, and Office. In his review of the Annoyances series, PC Week's Peter Coffee said, "Like William Safire's famous columns on English usage, these authors' tips reflect extensive experimentation and deep familiarity with how these products actually behave (as opposed to what their manuals say they'll do)."
Lee and T.J. have written and delivered Office usage and development courses to customers the world over, and are frequent contributors to PC Computing magazine on Office, Internet, and hardware topics. Mike Craven is a key member of the PRIME team, and has this to say about the endeavor, "Working on PRIME tools is a great experience for all of us on the team including our beta testers and customers, who we view as an extended family. By keeping the mindset that our tools are being used by real people having the same kind of daily work experiences we have with Microsoft Office, we're able to ratchet our programming creativity and quality control up to new levels."
