Do you print custom envelopes from MS Word?

Do you have a custom logo, picture or return address set up that you really wish would just show up every time you print an envelope?

That sure would be nice. I mean, no messing with templates, copy/pastes or other methods you may dream up to get your envelopes to your liking.

Well, I have good news. That "dream come true" is easier to achieve than you may think!

The first step is to create your envelope in a Word document.

• For older versions of Word, side effects cialis you need the Tools menu, Letters and Mailings, Envelopes and Labels choice.

• In Word 2007, you need the Mailings tab on the ribbon, Envelopes button.

Have you recently made the safe cialis switch over to Windows Vista? Or, have you been using it for awhile? Either way, are there some features on the 3D desktop that you'd just love to turn off? I mean, some of them are quite overwhelming and you might have a better Vista experience if you cut them off. Well, have no fear, because WorldStart is here to help!

I've heard so many varying views about the Vista operating system, it's not even funny anymore. Some people hate it, some people love it and others just ride along in the middle. Yes, Vista comes with a lot of brand new features and while it would be in Microsoft's best interest if everyone fell head over heels in love with them, that's just not very realistic.

So, if you want to change your Vista computer around a little, have at it! Now, as the person who asked today's question stated, one of the new features in Vista is the 3D desktop. And while it's cool to look at sometimes, it can also be a little too much. The 3D desktop has to do with Vista's appearance and performance and all the other Windows versions allowed you to make some changes within those realms, so why would Vista be any different? Come along with me as we make your Vista desktop all that you want it to be!

First, right click on the Computer icon on your desktop and choose Properties. From there, click on the Advanced System Settings link that is located off to the left side of the dialogue box. Once you click that, you will be asked if you're sure you want to continue on (since they're advanced settings and all). Just click Continue and go on. Next, choose the Advanced tab and then hit the Settings button. From there, you want to be under the Visual Effects tab.

Once you're there, you will see four options at the top of the window: "Let Windows choose," "Adjust for best appearance," "Adjust for best performance" and "Custom." Below those options, you will see a list of settings. The list is pretty long, so it may take you awhile to scroll through them all. As you look through them, you may want to start picking and choosing the ones you want to keep on your computer. Think about each one and picture in your mind what it would do to your PC. Here are some of the settings you have to choose from:

• Animate controls and elements inside windows
• Animate windows when minimizing and maximizing
• Enable desktop composition
• Fade or slide menus into view
• Fade out menu items after clicking
• Show shadows under menus
• Show shadows under mouse pointer
• Slide taskbar buttons
• Smooth scroll list boxes

Okay, I think you get the picture. There's so much to choose from! Now, let's go over a couple of the options I mentioned above again. If you click on the first one (Let Windows choose), the Windows operating system will choose what it thinks are the best choices for your computer. Now, this may be a good choice, but it still may leave you wanting more (or less) from your desktop experience.

On the other hand, if you click on the Custom choice, you can make your own decisions. You can just check or uncheck certain settings and everything will come out just the way you want it. I think this is the best option for anyone who likes to do things on their own. That's why I told you to really pay attention to the options in the list as you're reading through them. If you picture in your mind what a certain setting will do to your computer, you'll have a better reason for choosing what you choose.

When you're all done customizing your 3D desktop, just click the OK button and all will be saved. You can then go and test your new settings out. See how everything changed? Do you like it? Not so sure? Either way, you now know how easy it is to change those settings and you can go back time and time again until you have everything set perfectly for your Vista experience. Have fun!

Are you tired of having a bland, blank homepage? Wouldn’t it be nice if you could customize something you actually like to look at that's filled with the links you use regularly? I know I could use something like that and that's where today's cool site comes into play!

The great thing is, even if you decide you don’t like any of the options in the gallery, you can use the plain white or plain black and still be able to customize your homepage to meet your needs.

You will find all the directions you need on the Help FAQ page. That covers everything from setting up your personal links to how you can set your homepage with the Homepage FAQ section and even how to manage your cookies with the Cookie FAQ area.

The Start page galleries are viewable by: View All, Movies and TV, Music, Video Games and Other. You can also search for a theme by using the Search field in the top right hand corner. If you know what you're looking for, just type it in and search for it!

Once you have your theme all set up, customizing the page is very easy! Just choose what you want from the drop down boxes. For example, you can pick which search engine you want to use from the listing. For your links, select Custom from the drop down menu. That will give you new fields to fill out: one for the name you want it to display and one for the link itself.

Do you want to set up more links than just four? If so, when you’re on the Preferences page, there is a category on the right side called Advanced Options. Under that, you will find Extra Links. If you click on that, you instantly have four more slots you can fill with custom links!

Now, I have an extremely useful homepage that is equally nice to look at. I can check my e-mail, search the Internet and visit all the Web sites I love so much, all from one convenient location. Enjoy!

I'm in the mood to talk about CD burning today, so let's get right to it! Once you're sure you have a CD burner on your computer and you have it all set up, you should be good to go, right? Well, there's one more thing that could go wrong and that's exactly what we're going to talk about today. Let's get started!

The main question for this article is, "What if I can't get my burner to do anything?" And by anything, I basically mean recording material from your burner to a CD or DVD. Yes, that definitely can be a problem, especially since you can't really do anything if that capability isn't working right. So, let's troubleshoot this problem and see what we can come up with. Note: This tip is only for Windows XP users.

1.) First, you need to make sure you have the recording feature enabled. If you have Windows XP, you really don't have to do much to get the burner to work, but without the recording feature, you can't do a whole lot. To check this, double click on the My Computer icon on your desktop. Find whichever drive handles your CDs (generally drive D: or F:), right click on it and choose Properties. Next, click on the Recording tab and make sure the "Enable CD recording on this drive" option is checked.

Note: If you don't have a Recording tab, that means XP is not recognizing your burner's recording capabilities. If that's the case, you may need to consult with your CD burner manual to find out how to configure everything correctly. Depending on your situation, you may even need to change some things in your Registry Editor. If you have serious problems with this, you may want to contact your computer/burner manufacturer for additional help.

On the other hand, if you do have the Recording tab, keep going with me! When you turn on the recording feature, it starts the built-in CD recording in Windows XP. Now, if you use a different burning utility (other than the one that came with XP), you can disable this and just use the other program like you normally do.

2.) Another thing you may want to do is lower your burning speed. You more than likely have the software set to the fastest possible speed, but you might want to try setting it back to something like 18X or maybe even 8X. If you do prescription cialis that, you may see better results from your drive.

3.) Check on your system and make sure you have at least Windows XP Service Pack 1. For everything to run smoothly during the burning process, that has to be in place.

4.) And last (and the most obvious) is to check and make sure you have a blank CD in your CD ROM drive. You have to have one in there for the burning to start. Otherwise, the files will have no place to go and you will end up with nothing.

Hopefully with these troubleshooting techniques, you'll have a better burning experience from now on!

So, after yesterday's discussion on desktop e-mail alerts in MS Outlook 2003 and 2007, I'm sure there are at least a few of you who are wondering what's available that might be a little more subtle. Am I right?

Well, I asked that very same thing myself. At work, I often project my computer screen as part of my teaching and I certainly don't need an alert to pop up in the middle of a lesson so that all of my students can see who's sending what. That's not a good idea at all!

Yet, I like the ability to just glance at my desktop otc cialis and know there's new e-mail, so it's worth my time to switch over to Outlook.

So, here's my suggestion for anyone who agrees with me. I like to have Outlook put a small, subtle hint on my taskbar that has obvious meaning. I use this little envelope as my notification:
