February's Mid-month Bundle o' Tips
Some short, easy to implement, computer
shortcuts - because you asked for them!

|
CREATE DESKTOP SHORTCUTS:
Want to add the PowerPoint icon to your
desktop because you use it so often? Do
this (and it works for any Microsoft
program or document and many non-MS
products): Click your Windows key once
(the windows symbol key near your
spacebar), choose All Programs, click on
Microsoft Office, and find the program
for which you want an icon to sit on
your desktop. On it, right click once,
choose Send To, and from the drop down
arrow that appears next to it, choose
Desktop (Create Shortcut).
ADD MULTIPLE BLANK ROWS IN
EXCEL: When working in an
Excel document, there are times you need
to add a row, or twenty. Click to the
left of the row above which you'll add a
new empty row. Click on Insert, then
Row, and you'll have your new, blank
row. But what about when you want to
insert many rows at one time?
Instead of
highlighting the ONE row that
will sit under the new one(s),
highlight three rows if you'll
be adding three; highlight
twenty rows if that's as many as
you'll want to add. Of course if
you're not sure, just highlight
a whole bunch of them and later
delete the extras. Once again,
click on Insert at the top, then
Row, and voila - multiple blank
rows.
CAPITALIZING ALREADY-TYPED DOC IN
WORD: Ever write out
something and then decide you need
it in caps? Whether it's a word or a
sentence, don't delete and start
over again. Highlight and
Ctl-Shift-A and it's done!
