Do you sometimes find yourself highlighting entire paragraphs in an MS Word document for relocation?

(As we discussed yesterday, every time you hit the Enter key, you've finished a paragraph and are creating a new one, so just remember that "paragraphs" in Word could be as small as a single word in a bulleted list).

So, what do you do?

I bet I can guess! You first highlight the entire paragraph, then you use the mouse to grab and hold the paragraph and while still using the mouse, you run the pointer up and down the document to find the "right place" to drop the paragraph.

Then when you need to move something else, you start the process all over again. Am I right?

Whew!

That's a lot of repetition.

Well, here's a mouseless, three key solution to the situation that works so much better!

The next time you need to move an entire paragraph, try this little trick:

• Put your cursor in the paragraph you want to move.

• Now, hold down the Alt + Shift keys.

• Press the up or down arrow in whichever direction you need to move your paragraph. That's it!

Have you ever needed specific information for one of your files or folders? Or, have you ever needed to change the details that are displayed in a folder? If you answered yes to either viagra online no prescription of those questions, this tip is for you! Today, I'm going to show you how to change the list views for your files and folders in Windows XP. Let’s go!

You can display files and folders in a variety of different ways, depending on what you want to see and do. When you view your files and folders in the Details mode, a default list of file and folder information appears, including the Name, Size, Type and Date Modified. But what if that default list doesn’t provide the information you need? Well, you can add (or remove) as much information as you wish. Here's how:

1.) First, go to Start, My Documents.

2.) Once you're there, single click on the file or folder you want to change.

3.) Next, click on the View menu.

4.) Scroll down and then click on Choose Details.

The Choose Details dialogue box will then appear.

5.) You can now select the checkboxes with the details you want to include or you can clear out the ones you don’t want.

6.) Click the Move Up or Move Down buttons to change the order of the selected items.

7.) Click the Show or Hide buttons to either show or hide the selected items.

8.) When you're all set, just click OK.

That's it. You can now view your files and folders with the specific information you need!

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!

Wedding photos can be a challenge to take, because of the flurry of activities that go on and the wide variety of lighting conditions that may occur, but with the guide below, you will learn several tips and tricks that will give you the best wedding pictures of all time. Let's check it out!

Preparation

One of the most critical elements in being a successful wedding photographer is preparation. You absolutely need to prepare ahead of time (at least two months prior). It's a good idea to get to know the bride and groom so that you can understand their needs and wants. Some good questions to ask are:

• How many photographers will there be?
  

• What type of photos would they like?
  

• How many guests will be at the wedding? Are they mostly family members or friends?
  

• What locations will be used? A church, reception hall, etc.

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.
