Count In MS Word
Word still
has a Word Count feature that is so nice for those who need
to write a specific number of words in their documents. Now
word offers a toolbar that makes the word count even easier
to use.
To open the
Word Count toolbar, choose View|Toolbars|Word Count from the
menus. If you wish to anchor the new toolbar, just drag it
to the existing toolbar area and release the mouse button.
When you
need to check the most recent word count, just click
Recount.
Organize
Your Outlook Columns
Keep your
eye on the important stuff by removing columns that you
don't use and adding others that you will. Right-click the
heading row in your inbox and choose Columns. Add or remove
columns by enabling or disabling the check boxes; alter the
order of colummns using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. |
Is One
of Your New Year's Resolutions To Be More Productive?
Being more
productive with the time we have is a common goal we all
share. Technology can help us become more productive when
set up properly.
Productivity
Checklist: Answer yes or no to the following questions.
1.
Are you spending more than 5 seconds waiting for your
computer to something? (printing, opening files, saving
files, etc.)
2.
Do you use the internet on a regular basis as part of your
work?
3.
Do you have to physically move yourself to a certain
computer in order to access files on it? Do you transfer
files frequently to your computer using a floppy?
4.
Have you ever lost valuable hours of work or lost unsaved
files due to power surges or outages?
If
you answered yes to any or all of these questions, your
computer systems may be causing you to loose productivity!
The good news is there are solutions to all of these
problems.
Solutions
1.
Increase the amount of RAM (memory) in your computer.
2.
Get a high speed internet connection such as ADSL or
Broadband cable.
3.
Network your computers and configure them properly to allow
access to the programs and information you need.
4.
Invest in an uninterruptable power supply (UPS), a battery
power source for your computer.
All
theses solutions are fairly inexpensive but can provide huge
increases in productivity that will pay for themselves in a
very short time. |
