Well, by "Admin" I'm assuming you mean administrative assistant.
Excel and Word are not exactly the subject matter of "admins" as in 'system admins.'
For an Administrative Assistant, I would suggest buying a pair of good books, Excel and Word, and look to some of the later chapters where a variety of techinques and/or procedures are illustrated.
Pare down the topics of the books to what features of Word/Excel are relevant to your line of business (Do you need macro programming, for instance?) Then condense the topics down into a series of tests. See if your candidates can do as was done in the book, or if they can produce the same results by another means.
Compare their techniques to those in the book, and ask them pointed questions regarding their approach if their approach differs from what is in the book.
This gives you ground to stand on when asking them questions (e.g. "Why did you choose to create a document template for this assignment as opposed to defining a set of personalized styles?")
Plus, when you have selected your candidate, you have two nice books to place on his or her shelf, to augment their skills.
