Business Computing Tips By K&K Fainges kfainges@bigpond.net.au
One of the best tools ever invented was the Cut and Paste option on the computer. Say you have a series of adverts written up for various products, and you want to make up a brochure of specials for the week. You can just click on the list at the start of the product you want, hold the left mouse button down until you've highlighted the whole description, copy and then paste it into your brochure. You can copy by: 1 Right clicking and then left clicking on the word 'copy' or Pasting has similar options: 1 Right clicking and then left clicking on the word 'paste' or Each of these options work the same way, it is just a matter of personal choice. Try each one a few times and go with what works best for you. Sometimes though, pasting in information can make your formatting go completely haywire. There is away around this, it's called PASTE SPECIAL. If you go to EDIT => PASTE SPECIAL, this will allow you to paste the information into the new document without any formatting except the end of the lines and paragraphs. That option is Normal paragraphs with line breaks. This option is really good when pasting from a web page as it takes out a lot of the hidden junk underneath the words. *********************************************************************** Please feel free to pass it on to your friends, just let them know I wrote it.

All this is nice but it's the 14 years of having to make sales or starve that makes her think she has really learnt what does and doesn't work.
