CLICK!-Tip
Only one
space should follow a period
Since the advent of computers, only one space should follow a period. This
is particularly important in professional writing (e.g., in a press
release you send to the media).
Use this
Word tip until you're successful at breaking this habit.
-
Press Ctrl+A
to select your entire document.
-
Press Ctrl+H
to bring up the Find and Replace dialog box.
-
In the Find what
box, type a period followed by two spaces (spacebar twice).
-
In the Replace
with box, type a period followed by one space.
-
Click Replace All.
 I
read your BLOG and I read your webzine. They are done with such great
taste and are very interesting and helpful.

Move
graphics or text boxes with your keyboard arrow keys
You can move a graphic or text box in most Office software by using your
keyboard arrow keys.
-
Select the graphic or
text box (if the graphic is inside a text box, you'll have to select the
text box. If you click on the graphic and can't get the text box to
appear, press an arrow key once, and it should become visible).
-
Use the arrow keys to
move the graphic or text up, down, etc.
If
you need to nudge the graphic by smaller increments, hold down the Ctrl
key as you press the arrow keys.
WORD CHOICE-Tip
Barbara McNichol

Comprise, compose
"Comprise" refers to the whole that has a number of parts while "compose"
refers to the parts making up a whole.
It's correct to say,
"The book is composed (made up) of four short stories."
It's incorrect to
say, "The book is comprised of 22 chapters." Instead, say, "The
book comprises (consists of) 22 chapters."
The
only word I can say at this moment is WOW! This speaker just fulfilled my
ROI for being here [PEC 2007]. She saved me hours of work and agony.
Phenomenal speaker – well organized, easy
to follow, funny.
Best speaker
ever!!!

TECH-Tip
It's OK to use flags in Outlook with this new tip
by
Peggy Duncan
Jan Wencel read (and loved) my Outlook book,
Conquer Email Overload
with Better Habits, Etiquette, and Outlook 2003. She knows how I feel
about flagging messages in the Inbox.
I want you to keep the Inbox to one screen so flagging goes against
this principle because it requires you to leave messages in your Inbox in
order for the reminder to pop up. (To flag a message with a reminder,
right-click the flag to the right of the message and click Add Reminder.
Click the Due by drop-down and choose a date. Then click
None and choose a time.)
Once flagged, the message is copied to Outlook's For Follow Up folder.

_____________________________
Jan sent me this great tip. You can flag the
message but change how you view the Inbox, showing
only
the messages that have no flag. The reminder works because the
message is technically still in the Inbox -- but hidden.
This is too cool.
- From the Inbox, click the View menu, Arrange by,
Custom, Filter, More Choices.
- Tick the box, Only items which, and choose have no flag
in the drop-down list. Click OK until you're back in the Inbox.
When the work is complete, open the message in the For Follow Up folder
and delete it (if you mark it complete, it'll still be in your Inbox but
hidden with the filter). Or you could clear the filter then
move the message to a folder or insert it into another item (learn how in my
book and
classes).

I'm using this tip for some reminders. For others,
I drag the messages to Tasks and set a reminder. If
it's something I need to schedule a block of time to do, I'll drag the
message to
the Calendar.
