Have your buttons ever just disappeared? I'm talking about your buttons in Outlook Express. You know, the ones that say Create Mail, Reply, Forward, Send/Receive, Delete, etc. And you know, the buttons you really need the most to be able to get through your e-mail each day.
Well, in case that ever happens to you and you've run out of other options in figuring out how to get them back, here's an easy way to remember. Just right click anywhere in all of the open gray area where your buttons usually sit and choose Customize. Then next to the box that says Current Toolbar Buttons, click on the Reset button and all of your buttons will come back to you and you can go on your way.
Tiny Spell
Tiny Spell can correct your spelling in any application within Windows. So, if you're working in a program that doesn't support MS Word, you can still have confidence knowing you're spelling everything right. No more dumping a word into a Word document just to see if it is spelled correctly. With Tiny Spell's simple to use interface, you'll cruise through misspelled words easily and quickly.
Tiny Spell sits in your system tray and turns from white to yellow when it recognizes an incorrectly spelled word.
A quick click on the icon and a list of possible spelling choices pops up. Highlight the correct entry and you're on your way. I find it easier to use this "on the fly" in Word than the actual built in spellchecker. You can add words to Tiny Spell's database that it may not be familiar with and it will then recognize them in the future.The creator will take donations though, if any of you feel so inclined. The information for that is in the Help file in Tiny Speller). Now, go on and enjoy the safety net that Tiny Spell can provide for you!
You can download Tiny Spell for yourself right here.
I'm sure you can think of at least one time when you were searching for that perfect way to express yourself.
This is just one of the many solutions available, but I really like this one, because it's so easy to do and is available across the board. All you need are the drawing tools, which can be found in MS Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
The first thing you need to do is locate your drawing tools. You can do this in a couple of ways. One way is to click on the Drawing Tools button located on the Standard Toolbar.
Another way to access the drawing tools is to go to the View menu, Toolbars choice and then select Drawing from the list.
However, when you get there, you should see a new toolbar on the screen containing a lot of available options. We're looking for the AutoShapes button.
You'll notice that when you click on the AutoShapes button, you get a menu that lists the categories of shapes available.
Picking a shape from one of the category palettes is the next step. Find one that will work for your particular situation and click on its button.
Your mouse pointer should then become cross hairs that allow you to draw the shape.
Now, take your pointer into the document. Click, hold and drag to draw the shape. Once the shape is drawn, you can move it around and set text outside the shape to wrap just like a picture.
To get your message into the shape, move the mouse pointer over the shape and right click. The menu that pops up will contain many choices. Choose Add Text.
A cursor will appear inside the shape. From there, you can type in the text as usual, formatting and all.
When you've completed your text, just click outside the shape and you'll be returned to the main document.
To edit the text, simply double click on the shape.
That's it. Now, you too can create eye catching documents in a matter of minutes!
