| Also most software has advanced features that require you to do things that use coding skills — setting up mail filters, creating spreadsheet formulas, even styles in Microsoft Word.

I've worked with many people who, while presumably listing Microsoft Office skills on their resume, spend time with repetitive tasks in Excel that could be done in minutes or seconds with a formula and a click-and-drag.

I've found that the hardest part is finding the best way to tell them that there is an easier way without being condescending or making them feel foolish. I usually go with "Hey, um, can I show you something?" But ideally this opens the window to realizing that you can make Excel (and computers in general) do stuff for you.
