Word has a full-featured footnote system that will allow you almost total control over where and how your footnotes are printed. If you have inserted footnotes into your document previously, and you would like to duplicate one of those footnotes, you can employ these tried and true copy and paste functions… Follow the steps below to […]
The Windows 10 update sequence has been riddled with bugs over the past few months. July was a particularly bad month where the sheer number of buggy patches was concerned. Not so August, however. August was an uneventful month by comparison, but there was one notable exception– KB4100347. For those of you who are not […]
This year my brother moved to Los Angeles, California so he could chase his dreams. He figured the only way he could become famous was by living in the right location, Hollywood rather than Spokane, WA. I’m glad he is chasing his dream, but it does make it harder to keep in touch. Well, my […]
Word will allow you to assign specific key combinations to macros and commands. These key combinations are called shortcut keys, and when they are used, they will execute the command or macro. When you create a macro by recording it, Word gives you the opportunity to assign the macro to a specific key combination. If […]
If you’re like me, you spend a lot of time staring at your computer screen, and you probably like to customize it. One thing we like to do is add our own background picture, but even that needs a change every now and then. You can do this manually or let Windows do it for […]
I wrote before about having a Maestro cable box from EastLink. It’s supposed to be the most advanced unit available, but since I’ve had it, I keep losing my channels. The usual error message is that it cannot connect to the media gateway. I have gotten in touch with Tech Support before and they suggested […]
If you have been reading my recent articles (you should check them out), I have been talking about two streaming services: Netflix and Hulu.

One of my subscribers recently asked me if when he finishes keying in a footnote or end-note in Word, is there a way to jump back into the text of his document using his keyboard instead of his mouse. There are actually a couple of ways you can do this… The Not Keyboard Shortcut As […]
App Permissions Recent builds of Windows 10 have made it much easier to manage App Permissions. The term “App” is a weird one. Its meaning has changed over the years and now refers mainly to Microsoft store-bought software, or Universal Windows Platform (UWP) progams. I personally dislike this convention because I think it’s a source […]
I bought a microphone at a yard sale– nothing fancy just one of the cheap ones that would only cost you a couple bucks anyway if bought new. I decided to plug it in to my Windows 10 desktop to see if it would work. I recently bought my nephew’s desktop with Windows 10 already […]
OXPS And XPS Many of you might already know that when exporting a document in Windows you can often choose to save the file as a PDF or XPS file. Also, when saving online documents, they might automatically save in one of those two formats. Personally, I seldom save documents in anything other than in […]
Center A Paragraph Shortcut Most folks I know use the Center tool in the Paragraph group on the Home tab of their Ribbon to center their paragraph. While this is quick and easy enough, I am one of those people who do not like to move my hands from the keyboard to the mouse to accomplish […]
