The other day, a reader sent in a question about printing a MS Word document at half the size.

It seems he had a document containing a picture that was frequently printed. Since it didn't have to be full size, he was hoping to easily have Word print two of the same thing on a single page, rotating the duplicate pages to sit side by side in a landscape on the paper so that it still retained its proportions. The thought was that printing two on one page would save on ink and paper.

Is it possible to accomplish that without so much frustration, it drives you crazy?

I'm happy to report the answer is yes, so give this a try!

• First, copy and paste to make a second page of the Word document that's a duplicate of the first.

• Now, when you print, don't hit the Print button. Instead, go to the File menu (or Office Button cialis no prescription in Word 2007), Print choice (Ctrl + P).

• In the Print window, you're looking for the Zoom section.

  

• From the "Pages per sheet" list, choose 2 pages.

• Now, simply proceed with your print.

If you’re trying to format a selection of paragraphs that have different indents, Word won’t let you set tabs for all of them using the handy ruler shortcut. Here’s a trick for getting around this limitation.

Using the ruler to add tab settings is a common practice. However, users often find that when they try to use the ruler to change the tab settings of multiple paragraphs all at once, nothing happens. For example, say you’re formatting some text that has been copied from several documents, each with its own first-line paragraph indent settings (Figure A). When you select the text, all tab markers are grayed out and can’t be changed.

Fortunately, you don’t have to go back and change each paragraph individually. Follow these steps:

Last fall, my nine-year-old granddaughter asked if I had PowerPoint and then proceeded to create a presentation for Social Studies, mostly on her own. I hovered and made suggestions, but she really didn’t need my help. She added a few pictures and a recording of Kentucky’s state song, “My Old Kentucky Home.” She got an A!

The thing is, everybody knows how to use PowerPoint these days, and that can be problematic for the professional. It’s like an amusement park — the more rides you ride, the more thrilling a ride has to be to get your attention. In other words, you now have to work harder than ever to impress your audience. The ordinary just won’t do anymore.

That’s where rich media can make a difference. Rich media is anything other than text: pictures, graphics, video, audio, animated clips, and so on. A little creative power can go a long way. Remember the old saying about a picture’s worth a thousand words? Well, I won’t bore you further with a lot of extraneous verbalization when I can prove what I’m saying with just two slides.

There’s nothing wrong with the above slide, but it’s ordinary and unfortunately rather typical of the average presentation. Your audience won’t remember it. Why should they; there’s nothing memorable about it.

On the other hand, they’ll remember the slide below. Not only will they remember it, they’ll want to know who the child is and where you took the picture. Most important, the slide will implant a pleasant association with you. Now that, they’ll remember.
