Window States - Video Tip

We all have several programs on our computers, don't we? And chances are, we use at least half of those on a daily basis. So, have you ever had a program come up that only opens in its "normal" state? You know, it doesn't open up to its full capacity. Well, how would you like to change that so it opens up in its maximized state? Yeah, I thought you might like that. To understand more about what I'm talking about and to get started with this tip, just click on the link. It's all ready for you there! http://imgsrv.worldstart.com/videotips/index.htm

Your Ruler Preference

Do you use MS Word's ruler feature with your documents? (You know, View menu, Ruler choice).

Ever find yourself wishing it was in a different measurement unit? (Let's say it's in inches and you want it in centimeters). Or, maybe you weren't even using the ruler, because the way it measured just isn't the way you think in terms of distance.

Still wishing for that different ruler scale?

Poof!

Your wish is Word's command!

Much to your relief, you can control the measurement units on the ruler with just a couple clicks.

  • To start, you need to go to the Tools menu, Options choice.
  • Now, you're looking for the General tab.
  • At the bottom, you'll need to locate the "measurement units" field.
  • Use the drop down list to select your measuring preference.
  • Then click OK.

The ruler has been adjusted to your way of thinking.

How Far to the Margin?

Have you ever felt frustrated when working with MS Word's tabs? I mean, you're trying to set up your tab stops, but you're finding it difficult to ensure that they are placed properly between the margins.

You've got the ruler displayed (View menu, Ruler choice), but it's still a bit of a pain to double check that you've got it "just right." It's easy to get lost in all those eighth of an inch marks or the even more abundant millimeters.

So, the next time you find yourself in the old click, hold and drag routine to place your tab stops across the top ruler and you become frustrated with the placements, give this quick trick a try!

Before you click on the tab stop to move it, hold down the Alt key.

Yep, that's right. The whole trick is in the Alt key.

With just that one extra key, you'll turn your usual display of tab stops (like this one):

Into a clean display like this:

What you have here is an obvious and easy to read placement guide for your tabs. (The tab stop clicked is 2.5" from the left margin and 4" from the right margin).

In place of the ruler, you'll be able to read the distance the tab's current position is from the left and right margins, which allows for an exact placement.

While holding the Alt key down, drag the tab stop back and forth across the ruler. You'll find that the measurements adjust to your every move.

No more getting lost trying to count the millimeters, centimeters or a fraction of an inch. With a quick tap of the Alt key, you'll have Word doing the measuring for you!

How To Underline Words In Outlook Express

Simply highlight the word you want to underline, right above the compose window you'll see the formatting bar.

With the word or words you want to underline selected, click on the "U" between in the formatting bar. That's all there is to it. If you leave the U depressed it will underline everything as you type. If you make a mistake and leave the "U" selected, highlight the text you don't want underlined and click on the "U" again to deselect "underline". The "B" stands for "BOLD" the "I" for Italics, the "A" for font style :)

And, digiknow, you can also highlight the word(s) and Control + U. Or click Control + U and everything you type will underlined... click Control + U again and it will stop underlining. Same with the others: Control + I turns on Italics, and Control + B turns on Bold. And everything here works in Windows Mail (Windows Vista) too.

What does DRM stand for?

DRM is short for Digital Rights Management and it mainly deals with copyright protection issues on CDs, DVDs, etc. DRM is the technology that publishers, who are the copyright owners, use to control the access of their data, including software, music, movies and some hardware. As I said before, DRM is associated with copyright protection and also technical protection measures. Both of these technologies work to secure the access of digital media and they both work in reference to the DRM design.

There are other types of DRM as well. One in particular is Enterprise Digital Rights Management (E-DRM). This type doesn't work so much with controlling digital media, but it's more on the side of corporate documents, such as Word, PDF, TIFF and AutoCAD files. E-DRM subscribers include Microsoft, Adobe and the EMC Corporation. There are some open source companies that take advantage of it as well.

What’s Joost? Well, I was certainly wondering that myself when I first came across this Web site. Basically, it is over 15,000 shows you can watch from your computer for free. Whether you want to watch CSI, your favorite sitcom or cartoon, you’re sure to find something to watch here!

How does it work? Well, you just need to download Joost to your computer. To do so, click the Download tab from the black navigation strip along the top of the page. Next, choose your platform of either Windows or Mac and then download it. You’ll find excellent installation instructions provided right on the page.

Once it is installed, you need to choose a Joost name. You can do that right from within Joost, without having to tab out and without any hassle! You just need a username, a password, your name and your zip code. They also provide their Privacy Policy, so you know exactly why they need that information from you.

Now that you have a Joost name, you can start watching your favorite shows. It should load up in a full-screen mode the first time you use it, but keep in mind that you can also watch it in a windowed mode.

Want to see if there's even a program you’d like to watch? Well, feel free to browse the What’s On section. That is where you can see the listings of different channels and you can even browse by different categories. Once you pick a channel to watch, you will find a listing of different shows that appear on it. For example, if you choose music, pick IMTV and you will get a listing of what artists are playing on the Irish Music TV channel. Cool, huh?!

I have to admit, I’m already addicted to the CSI channel, as well as, exploring the many music channels Joost offers. Check it out today!
