I did. That just brings up a grid of images and no text is actually visible.

That's nothing. I just received a copy of my official university transcript and found out I have a BS degree in Electrical Engineering. Thst's all BS, but interesting. I never majored in Electrical Engineering. I guess I can claim to have a BSEE, but it woiuld only take s few seconds to unmask me as incompetent in EE.

Is there anyone here who has experience with Udemy[^]?
It has a lot of courses on a lot of subjects, including IT, and prices ranging from free to €327 ( ).
Is it worth it? Should I get an account and check out some (free) courses?

Our PM has (t)asked me the following:
He wants a weekly status report email from everyone every Friday. This will include a Word document per person on work that they've accomplished every week. He would like to automate a summary report as well that shows who sent him what and when (and who didn't). We're currently doing it manually. Save attachment per person and update Excel status list.
Does anyone know of a tool that will help automate that? I thought about creating a custom email, task, or journal form in Outlook that will collect that info, but I'm not very familiar with Outlook's capabilities.
Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

I'm surprised your PM didn't ask for the cover sheet on your TPS report.
On a serious note, you can try some tools like "TaskCoach" or "ToDoList" that might help. I know that "ToDoList" can send an email with information you select. I would think Outlook would have something for this.
Makes me wonder what the PM is really doing with all of those reports. I had to do this at one company and I pretty much made up items and no one ever noticed.

Outlook has a built-in Task tool. The problem is, he needs to capture the summary weekly. Never used Journal, so I wasn't sure what its capabilities are.

I'm surprised - most PMs just want paperwork for the sake of paperwork.

He doesn't want each person to create a Project file. We already track high level tasks using that.

The PM should be reading the elephanting progress reports and updating whatever PM tool they are using ... or getting the team to update the tool directly - result... automated reporting.
What is the point of getting a team to produce progress reports if you're not going to actually read them?
An earlier poster has it right ... your PM is a tool (that's a derogatory term in US/UK if you weren't aware)
