OK, here is a tidbit of information. When you get "snow turds" under your wheel wells, do not try to kick them off with your toe unless you want to wind up in the ER. I turned around and give the a horse kick with my heel. Works great.

I didn't either, until a cable guy installing another connection in my office said something like, Oh, you have Windows (version), you don't need to put in the www.

I'm a semi expert in Word, ask me just about anything, and I can help you out.
My helpful tip:
When, I'm working on a report, and it gets passed on to other people to review and/or put in their input, some of the less-able people would always forget to use the "track changes" function, and they always highlight the changes in yellow, which doesn't show you what the exact changes were. So I use the compare two document feature, and I can see all the changes that were made.
I'm always the last person to find out anything about pop culture or what's on TV. We just got TV this year, and we still don't watch it, we do stream some tV shows though.
But people are always making references to commercials and people we don't know. In America and Canada, it's crazy how out of touch you can feel if you don't watch TV.
I don't if this is the same everywhere, but I just recently got a landline, and if you call locally, you have to not press the 1, but still enter in the area code. That confused me! Why can't I just enter the number? And if I have to enter the area code, then I should also press the 1 that always preceded the area code.

It gets worse. Trust me. At DS's school, all of the kids use iPads now. I'm trying to learn to use it, but definitely feel more comfortable on my computer.  |

I've seen too many final reports, even press releases, go out with all the history still attached to the document.
ETA:
Basically we ran out of seven digit numbers, so phone numbers are now ten digits.

Track changes are very important. We can pinpoint out who introduced the error, us or the client, into the document. It protects us when there might be 10 people working on a report.
But you're right, so many people view their document in "final version" because they have trouble working with all the revision marks, and then forget about it.
The worst is when people leave comments that are insulting, like a snarky comment about the report's content, and then forget to delete it before it gets sent back to the client. oops.

The first part of the address is called the "subdomain". The browser will assume www if you don't explicitly specify it. But be wary that many addresses don't have www as a subdomain.
Obvious case in point: notmsnmoney.proboards.com
And don't feel too badly. The convention is only a few years old, and it's not particularly obvious.

My favorite trick is CTRL-z. It is UNDO in most programs.
Anyone doing layout, drawings or other complicated documents needs to know that one. My DH used to work with graphic designers fresh out of school and they didn't know that. But when you paste something and it messes up your document, undo!

Hitting Alt+F4 on any Proboards board puts the page into "Moderator Mode" where you can see staff notes about your account. It seems to be a security flaw. I don't know if they're even aware of it.  |
