I'm *Really* Excited About This One! Oh, do we have an AWESOME title in! It's Home Depot's Home Improvement 1-2-3 (plus a bonus :-) and it's very, very cool. This interactive CD ROM guide has over 250 projects! It uses video, animation, narration, and photographs to help guide you though just about any home improvement project you can think of. With spring right around the corner, you know you'll be wanting this one! It covers:
And tons more! Each project takes you step by step through the entire process. It's like having an expert right at your finger tips. It works like this: Let's say you were going to install a new ceiling fan. You just go to the electrical section and select the Mounting Ceiling Fans project. From there, it takes you though the entire process—everything you need to know and then some—step by step. It has excellent illustrations and narration to help guide you through the process. It makes it so easy, even I could do it! In addition, it also tells you what type of stuff you're going to need (tools, materials, aspirin, etc) and how long the project would take based on your skill level. It even has a "work smarter" section that give you the pros and cons of installing whatever it is you're going to install. Of course, it also includes safety information too—live to fix another day, right? Heck, you can even print the project out and take it with you!! This is the BEST home improvement CD ROM I've ever seen. If you do any do-it-yourself type projects, this is a must have. I still can't believe how impressed I am with it! I had a few projects I was hesitating about doing around the house, but thanks to this CD I was able to do them myself. Now for the price. This retails for $39.95 and we normally give you a super deal at only $16.97, but right now it's on sale for only $12.97 with FREE US Shipping! That's our lowest price ever! This is a current title and works all versions of Windows. I attracted a lot of attention in my office with all my "Oh, this is soooo cool", and "Wow, that's just great" type comments. In fact, everyone I've shown this to has wanted one! If you've ever been involved with a project and got stumped, this CD would have come in handy. I can't begin to tell you how much time, money, and frustration it has saved me! http://www.worldstart.com/store/homedepot.htm PS - Don't miss out! Everyone I've shown this to has bought one! It's absolutely awesome and I can't recommend it highly enough. Remember, we have a 30 day satisfaction guarantee. If you don't like it - even after you try it - we'll take it back! You have nothing to lose! Sorry for going on and on, but I can't remember the last time I was this excited about a piece of software :-) Bonus! In addition to Home Depot's Home Improvement 123, we'll also throw in a program called 6100 Home Plans if you order now! Only while supplies last!
Outlook & Outlook Express Keyboard Shortcuts
Today I thought we'd focus on MS Outlook and Outlook Express. Here's a few of the most common tasks and the keyboard shortcuts you need to get the job done ASAP.
Happy Emailing!
MS Excel Text Into Columns Have you ever found yourself wondering what in the world possessed the person who created your MS Excel file to put both first and last name in the same cell? Now how are you supposed to sort that list alphabetically by last name when first name is listed first? The answer is that you can't—you have to separate the first and last names—somehow... But how? You could spend your time retyping the last name into the next column. It works but it's not a great plan since it could take "forever" if your list is really long. Or... maybe you have other text / data that really should be separated into different cells for easy sorting and editing. Would you like a fast way to separate the data? (This works best with data that's pretty consistent and not too complicated.) Most of us would say "yes". (Even if you don't have an immediate use for this one, it's one of those handy little pieces of information that may just get you out of a jam one day. :-) So let's get to that faster way... The first thing you'll need to do is to highlight the data that needs to be separated. Now go to the Data menu, Text into Columns choice. A 3-step wizard will start to guide you through the process. On step 1 check at the top that the data will be delimited. Then click Next. In step 2 you need to check the Space option in the Delimiters section. (Make sure all other choices are unchecked.) Basically what you're doing here is telling Excel what character separates your pieces of data—so that when it find a space it knows to stick the next piece of text in a new column. Did you notice the preview of your data in the bottom window? See how the names are now divided into different columns? Click Next. Step 3 will allow you to do some formatting and placement of your data—but for now, as beginners, just click the Finish button. Poof! Just like magic your first and last names are in two separate columns, ready to sort - no retyping necessary. (Ok—maybe not magic but, if your list was long, you'll feel like it was when you realize how much time you just saved.) ~ April |
