Internet Browser Tip

Ever find that pictures or fonts on a specific website are hard to read? Maybe the website is too wide and you can’t view all of the content without scrolling? Or maybe you just want to view the Internet game you are playing larger (Paul)?

Try this tip (does require a roller ball mouse).  Hold down the CTRL key on your keyboard while rolling the ball forward (to make larger) or backward (to make smaller) to adjust the screen magnification.

You can also accomplish the same thing by holding down the CRTL key and tapping the (+)  key to make it larger or the (-) key for smaller. This works in both Mozilla (Firefox) and Explorer. Make sure to adjust back to the “normal” view mode when you are done by holding the CRTL key and pressing the zero key  (or like me leave the font really really tiny to mess with people).

PS – this works in many other programs as well – including Excel and Word

Office 2007 Tip

So for those of you who went kicking and screaming to Office 2007 and can’t seem to find ANYTHING you are looking for with the new “ribbon” menus (where the heck is the print?) this tip is for you. It is the “Scout” Search commands here is a blurb from the site…

“You know there’s a button for it, but you don’t know or remember where it is. If this ever happens to you, check out Search Commands. You can use this concept test today to quickly find the commands you need in Microsoft Office 2007 Word, Excel and PowerPoint. Just search with your own words and click on the command you need.”

Hopefully you will find this as useful as I did.

PS – add a quick print to your shortcuts like this (or anything else you want using the more commands selection from this same menu)
