October 9, 2015Remember This Color!Word isn’t a drawing program, but it contains drawing tools. So you might be frustrated when you try to design drawing elements and Word isn’t very helpful with your efforts. One specific area has to do with custom colors.

October 7, 2015A Trip Down Port LaneBack in the early days of the PC, it seemed like each peripheral used its own interface. October 5, 2015Sorry That I Missed Your EmailI recently updated my new Macintosh to the latest OS X operating system, codename El Capitan. That experience is something I’ll write about later. Until then, I’ll let you know how I completely deleted all my email.

October 2, 2015Google Docs to the RescueMy son needed to write a college paper, one that had special formatting. So he asked me a Microsoft Word question on formatting a numbered list. I told him the answer, but the suggestion didn’t work. Turns out he wasn’t using Microsoft Word at all.

The second line was for the computer. Specifically, it was for the computer’s modem.

Others are forced converts from the WordPerfect realm. And a few just want to write without having all those obnoxious extra features. Those users who prefer to write unencumbered ask me the question, “Why can’t Microsoft just create a ‘Lite’ version of Word?” My answer is that they did and no one bought it. |
