Did you know that a paragraph in MS Word doesn't necessarily mean complete sentences or any of the other rules your English teacher taught you?

Well, to Word, it doesn't.

I'm sure any English teacher would disagree, but here's the scoop!

Word considers a paragraph to be the text between two paragraph marks.

So, what are paragraph marks?

Well, they look like this:

You've never seen that in your Word documents, have you?

No, I'm sure you haven't, but I assure you, they're there. They're just one of the many hidden marks Word puts in to indicate viagra online generic spaces, enters, tabs, etc. You may not see them, but they do exist.

(It's possible to have Word display those marks by clicking the button on the Standard toolbar that contains the paragraph symbol. Or, if you're using Word 2007, you'll find the button on the Home Ribbon under the Paragraph section. In any version, it's a toggle button, so just click on it once to display the hidden marks and once more to hide them again).

Basically, Word inserts a paragraph mark any time you hit the Enter key.

For example, if you're making a list of items, each item becomes its own paragraph every time you hit Enter.

So, why do you care?

Allow me to tell you! There are a lot of instructions and references to a paragraph in Word. As I've worked with different people, I've noticed one thing: they usually only see a paragraph in the traditional format. Because of that, single word lists just don't register in their thinking process.

The result?

Put simply, they're often confused with instructions. It's hard to follow instructions when you don't know the definitions of the terms (at least Word's definitions).

So, now that we're clear on what Word means, keep an eye out for tomorrow's tip, because I'm going to show you some cool tricks you can do with your paragraphs. Stay tuned!

When you move text in MS Word, what do you do?

Do you highlight the text to be moved and then use your mouse to drag and drop it to a new location? Or, do you highlight the text and then use the cut/paste options?

Either way, it's a lot of steps and for many people, it involves removing your hands from the keyboard to use the mouse.

Well, for those of you who are always looking for a way to go "mouseless," here's a trick for moving your text without ever leaving the keyboard.

• You still need to highlight the text to be moved. (If you're looking to reduce mouse use, be sure to use the Shift key in combination with the arrow keys to complete your highlighting).

• Now, hit the F2 key.

• At this point, you're ready to tell Word where to put your selection. Simply use the arrow keys or the Page Up/Page Down keys to move the cursor to the new location. (If you change your mind, hit the Esc key and the F2 effect will be removed).

• When you've found the correct spot, hit the Enter key.

Have you ever sent an e-mail to the wrong person? If you’re lucky, it didn’t matter. However, it could be an embarrassing and even critical error. For instance, let’s suppose you have two clients named John. You sent John Smith your regular fee schedule. Later, while negotiating a new project with John Smythe, you offer a discount. Oooops! Outlook just sent the discounted fee schedule to John Smith instead of John Smythe, as you intended. Just how did that happen?
It really isn’t Outlook’s fault. Usually, this kind of error occurs when you’re in a hurry or distracted. You type John into the To box, take the first hit, and send — without realizing that Outlook’s AutoComplete feature chose the wrong John. It happens….

There are two ways to complete an e-mail address:

The second method is the one that can get you into trouble. The AutoComplete feature updates its list so fast that it’s easy to select the wrong item. It’s a great feature, but prone to mishaps if you’re not careful. You can disable AutoComplete as follows:

1. In the Mail window, choose Options from the Tools menu.
2. Click E-mail Options.
3. Click Advanced E-mail Options.
4. Uncheck the Suggest Names While Completing To, Cc, And Bcc Fields option.
5. Click OK three times.

The truth is, AutoComplete is helpful and you might not want to disable it. I use it almost exclusively.

Another problem is that Outlook maintains a history of all the addresses you enter, not just the ones you store in the Address book. These names make their way onto the AutoComplete list, even if you don’t want them. Additional names can throw a monkey-wrench into your routine if you don’t expect them. When one of these names shows up, simply delete it before it gets you into trouble.

Finally, the best advice is the least helpful. Try to slow down and pay attention to the AutoComplete viagra mail order list. Okay, I’m obligated to say that, even though I don’t always practice what I preach. Carry on as best you can, forewarned.
