Tip #59 - Accessing Office Templates

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #59 - Accessing Office Templates

The hardest part of creating a document in any program is getting started. People feel that they can edit a document just fine but they don’t feel comfortable creating one. That’s where the Templates in Microsoft Office can help.

When you click the File tab, New, you will see the different categories of templates that are available from the Microsoft website. These templates were created by users just like you and submitted to Microsoft for inclusion. Of course, the choices will be different if you are in Excel, where budgets and timesheets are included, than they are in PowerPoint, where there are templates demonstrating special effects or designed for specific purposes such as selling or training.

In the Apple version of Office go to the File menu and choose New from Template.

When you find a template you would like to use, double click on it. You might have to confirm that you want to download the template from the Microsoft website. The template opens on your screen and you can save the document just as you would any document.

So the next time you need to create a resume, design a flyer or create a budget, look to see if there is a template that could help you get started.

Tip #58 - Format Painter

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #58 - Format Painter

Many programs have included a Format Painter in both the PC and Apple environment. The Format Painter allows you to copy the format from one place in your document and “paint” the format somewhere else in your document. Using the Format Painter saves you time and duplicated effort when you want to format your document consistently. Instead of having to manually apply the font, font effects, paragraph alignment, and other formatting to each new section heading, you can quickly copy all of the formatting attributes by using one button.

To use the Format Painter you need to start by selecting the correctly formatted text. How much you need to select depends on whether the formatting is a character format or a paragraph format. Character formats include font, color, size and style (bold, italic, etc.). Paragraph formatting refers to alignment, indentation, bullets, line spacing, borders, etc.

To copy both paragraph attributes and character attributes (such as font and font effects), triple click on the formatted paragraph to select it.
To copy only character attributes, double click on a formatted word.
On the Home tab, Clipboard group, click Format Painter – once for one use, double click for unlimited uses.
Select the text you want to apply the formatting to. Don’t forget you can triple click to select a paragraph, double click to select a word. The text takes on the attributes of the new formatting.
When you're finished, press ESC or click the Format Painter button once.

Be sure to look for the Format Painter in your favorite programs. It save lots of time and makes the formatting in your document consistent.

Tip #57 - Free Anti-Virus Programs

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #57 - Free Anti-Virus Programs - Yes for the Apple too!

Everyone is concerned about getting a virus on their computer, and they should be. Viruses can be debilitating to your computer and should be avoided at all costs. Speaking of costs, many of these programs cost a lot every year and often do more than you need. Here are two free programs you should consider using on your computer when your current anti-virus program subscription runs out.

If you have an Apple and are sitting smugly reading this thinking you are immune, you should consider downloading the programs too. In the Spring of 2012, more than 600,000 Apples were infected with a trojan from Russia and the conventional wisdom since then is that anti-virus programs are for everyone on every device, phones as well as computers.

Avast Free (www.avast.com) is available for PC and Apple users. Just download it and the software will be installed automatically.

Another alternative is AVG Free (www.avg.com). It is similar to Avast Free but is only available for the PC, although they do have a program for the Mac that will alert you if a website contains malicious threats.

Do not use more than one anti-virus program at a time. If you are currently using Norton Anti-Virus or McAfee Anti-Virus, wait until your subscription runs out and then uninstall that software before you install Avast or AVG.

Better safe than sorry.

Tip #56 - Excel Conditional Formatting

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #56 - Excel Conditional Formatting

For those of you who work with Excel, I think you’re going to really love today’s tip.

Conditional Formatting, as the name implies, allows you to automatically format a cell in a way that you design, based on the contents of the cell. When the entry in a cell meets the criteria that you have defined, then the format of that cell changes automatically.

I’m in charge of a yearly event and keep track of the responses in an Excel file. Some people send me checks, others want me to charge the event to their club account and still others will give me money at the door. Depending on which option they elect, I want the color of the cell to change. Here’s how I did this.

I select the column that is going to have the special format by clicking on the letter at the top of the column. From the Home Tab, Styles group I click on Conditional Formatting and chose New Rule… In Apple it’s on the Format menu. I choose “Format only cells that contain” at the top of the box and in the lower part of the dialog box choose “Cell Value” “equal to” and in the third box I typed “club charge”. Now the fun begins, I click the Format button. I use the Number, Font, Border and Fill options to make my entry as distinct as it needs to be and click OK and then OK again. Suddenly all of the “club charge” entries conform to the format I specified. When I changed the entry to “at the door” the format changes automatically again. As you can see from the screen shot, a column can have many conditional formats assigned to it.

Can you imagine using this for an accounts receivable worksheet? When the elapsed time from the date of the invoice reaches 60 days it becomes one color, when it reaches 90 days it displays another color format. The applications for this are endless.

Tip #55 - Extra Help for Microsoft Office

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #55 - Extra Help for Microsoft Office

If you are a Microsoft Office user, you probably have needed some help to accomplish set tabs, create formulas, indent text, etc. Microsoft offers a new option in addition to the classic FAQ search.

On their website Microsoft has a page of Quick Start Guides for the 2013 version of its various programs in the office suite. These are in PDF format for easy downloading and printing. Each guide runs about five to nine pages depending on the program and covers the changes made to the software from the previous edition. Tips for using the program are included, as is compatibility advice for working with people who do not have Office 2013. Even if you are not using the 2013 version of the software I would recommend looking them over. The programs changed very little from the 2007 or 2010 versions. You can find these Guides at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/office-2013-quick-start-guides-HA103673669.aspx

Free quick reference cards for PC and Apple for a wide variety of software and versions are also available from the folks at Custom Guide On-Line Learning. You have to fill in a form but I find that if you put in the comments box that you’re just looking for a resource for personal use they don’t bother you. Check out their guides at http://www.customguide.com/computer-training/quick-references

Another place where people forget to look for help is YouTube. Yes there are lots of crazy videos of dancers and the like there but if you, for example, want a training video on mail merge in any version of Microsoft Word, I guarantee you’ll find dozens on YouTube. Some will be better than others, to be sure, but you probably will find one that will help you get through your project.

A forth suggestion is to open any search page (Google, Bing, Ask, etc.) and in the search box enter your search term. If you were looking for webpages on mail merge I would enter, “Word 2007 mail merge”. I like to start my searches by entering the name of the program and version so the help is specific to what I’m seeing on my computer.

Remember, you’re not alone even though there may be no one else in the room. The internet is just a click away.

Happy computing!

Tip #54 - Automatic Bullets/Lists in Word

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #54 - Automatic Bullets/Lists in Word

More than ten years ago Microsoft introduced AutoCorrect to the world. We talked in a previous blog post about how great this feature is. However, there is one aspect of this feature that really frustrates people…how Word automatically thinks you’re starting a bulleted or numbered list as you type when you start a paragraph with an asterisk (*) or with a number.

Microsoft is just trying to be helpful but I do agree this can be a little frustrating. But there’s an easy solution, all you have to do though is look for the little lightning bolt control menu that appears whenever the program automatically “corrects” something. Move your mouse on the menu and click on what you want to do. As you can see from the screen capture you can undo Automatic Bullets, Stop Automatically Creating Bulleted Lists (forever) or Control AutoFormat Options… The last of these choices will bring up the AutoFormat Options dialog box where you can review other options that you might want to change.

AutoFormat is not just a Word feature. Those of you who use Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and other Microsoft programs will recognize it too. Just look for the lightning bolt to control automatic changes.

Tip #53 - Excel Lists

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #53 - Excel Lists

You may have been introduced to lists by the Excel program. When you start to create what appears to the program to be a list, a window pops up asking if you would like Excel to convert your data to a list.

An Excel list provides features designed to make it easier to manage and analyze groups of related data in a worksheet. When you designate a range as a list, you can manage and analyze the data in the list independently of data outside the list. For example, using only the data contained within the list, you can filter columns, add a row for totals, and even create a PivotTable report, using only the data contained within the list.

You can have multiple lists on your worksheet, which allows you a great deal of flexibility for separating your data into distinct, manageable sets according to your needs.

NOTE: You cannot create a list in a shared workbook. You must remove the workbook from shared use first if you want to create a list.

If you already have entered information in an Excel worksheet but didn’t use the list feature, you can convert the data area to a list. To do this click any cell within the data area. From the Insert tab choose List. If your first row contains column headings make sure you have checked the “My table has headers” box, and then click OK. Now your data is in a table. You’ll notice that you have access to the Table Tools tab at the top of the screen, which will include an option to add a Total Row. If you add a Total Row, you’ll see that each column has drop down choices for how you would like to calculate it.

So the next time Excel suggests adding a List to your worksheet, consider clicking on OK.

Tip #52 - Screen Captures

100 Computer Tips in 100 Days

Tip #52 - Screen Captures

While you were always able to take a screen shot (picture of your screen) by tapping the Print Scr key on your keyboard, it took a picture of your entire screen which you then had to paste into a Word or PowerPoint document to crop it. Starting with Windows 7 Microsoft included the Snipping tool. The Snipping tool allows you to take a screen shot of a portion of your screen, helpful if you’re trying to show someone what you see on your screen, such as when you’re talking to technical about support computer issues.

To access the Snipping tool, click on the Start button in the lower left side of your screen. When you do that your curser will be in the “Search Programs and Files” box. Start typing “snip”. By the time you get those four characters in the search box you should see the Snipping tool listed in the program menu above. Click on the Snipping tool. A window will pop up on your screen with the Snipping tool visible. Click the New button to take a picture of an area of the screen. Now drag your mouse on the screen to capture the picture. When you release your mouse another window will pop up with your screen capture. You can save it or copy it for use later.

In the Apple environment you can take a screen shot of your entire screen by holding down the Command and Shift keys and pressing the 3 key, but you can also zero in on just a portion. If you hold down the Command and Shift keys and press the 4 key, Mac OS X turns the cursor into crosshairs you can use to select whatever portion of your display you’d like to capture in a screen shot. Just as in the PC environment, you can paste the screenshot into a Word, PowerPoint or email.
