I arranged files so I could know what they were. The problem was when I opened them later the creation date was no longer there and only the modified date was shown. The file was not changed, only the name, so why isn't the creation date shown? I suppose I am missing a step or something. If not, please tell me how to maintain the creation date when the file name was changed but the file was not modified.

One aspect of Office applications that many users find annoying is

the fact that the Standard and Formatting toolbars share the same row,

thus limiting the number of icons showing. While this minor

conservation of space could be appreciated when large monitors were

a luxury, it's likely that you're no longer constrained by limited

monitor real estate. To configure Office applications so that both

toolbars appear in their own rows, select"View" | "Toolbars" |

"Customize"from the menu bar. Then, click on the "Options" tab,

clear the"Standard and Formatting Toolbars share one row" check

box and click"OK".

 

 

You can control the order in which your pages are printed. Click

"File"| "Page Setup". Click the "Sheet" tab and then one of the

"Page Order"options.

 

Saving All

courtesy of dummiesdaily.com; edits by Donna Southard

 

To save a multitude of documents all at once, you can switch to each

window and use the"File" | "Save" command. Or you can be sneaky

and do the following:

 

 1.Press and hold the [Shift] key--either one.

 

 2.Choose "File" | "Save All".

 

Normally, you choose the"Save" item, but if you press

the [Shift] key before clicking the"File" menu, it

magically becomes the"Save All" menu item.

 

HTML and Web browsers normally use

proportional fonts to display text. A proportional

font is one in which different letters are different

widths, and blank spaces can be adjusted to best fit text on

the line. The downside to proportional fonts is that they

make it impossible to indent text using blank spaces. To get

really tight control over the exact placement of characters

in a chunk of text, you need to use a monospace font, in

which each character, including each blank space, is

exactly the same width. However, choosing a specific font

in HTML is risky, because you can never be sure the

visitor's computer has the exact font you select.

 

For this reason, HTML provides a Formatted style (also

called the Preformatted style) that automatically uses

whatever monospace font is available on the visitor's

computer. After you apply the Formatted style to a section

of your Web page, you automatically switch to a

monospace font and can use blank spaces to control the

level of indentation of each item of text.

 

Note: To allow substitution of fonts, either click

"Tools"| "Options" | "Compatibility" and click

"Substitute fonts based on font size"or use

"Tools"| "Options" | "Compatibility" and check

"Set the width of a space . . .".

 

 

To restore text to its original formatting, press [Ctrl] + [Spacebar].

To quickly make a copy of an image, text object, line, etc., you

can select the object, hold down the [Ctrl] key and drag to create a

duplicate of the selected object. This way, you can create a copy and

position it at the same time.

 

The status bar at the bottom of the window shows the current page

number, the state of an automatic spelling check, and other

information.

 

1.Click the item, such as a file, program, folder, printer, or computer

      that you want to create a shortcut to.

2. On the File menu, click "Create Shortcut".

3. Drag the shortcut icon onto the desktop and place where you want it.

 

Note: You can use the shortcut as a fast way to open the item.

         To change any settings for the shortcut, such as what kind of

window it starts in or what key combination is used to access it, use

your right mouse button to click the shortcut, and then click"Properties".

To delete a shortcut, drag it to the Recycle Bin. The original item

will still exist on the disk where it is stored.

 

 

Setting up a "link" from one Windows application to

another isn't difficult. The following are the general steps to take:

 

 1. Activate the window in the source application that

   contains the information you want to copy.

 

 2. Select the information by using the mouse or keyboard.

   Note: If Excel is the source application, you can

   select a cell, range, or entire chart.

 

 3. Select "Edit", "Copy" (or [Ctr] C) from the source

   application's menu. The source application copies the

   information to the Windows clipboard (you may activate/see

   the Clipboard Toolbar via "View | "Toolbars" | "Clipboard").

 

 4. Activate the destination application. If it isn't open,

   you can start it without affecting the contents of the

   clipboard.

 

 5. Move to the appropriate position in the destination

   application.

 

 6. Select the appropriate command in the destination

   application to paste a link, "Edit" | "Paste Special"

 

 7. A dialog box will appear, letting you

   specify the type of link you want to create (html, picture,

   text, etc.)

1. Using your right mouse button, click a blank area on your

       taskbar (the one with "Start" at the left).

 

2. Click"Cascade Windows", "Tile Windows Horizontally", or

     "Tile Windows Vertically" (the choice of display is yours).

 

Note: Make sure all the windows you want to display are open.

Closed or minimized windows cannot be displayed.

 

To restore your windows to their original state, use your right mouse

button to click a blank area on the taskbar, and then click

"Undo Cascade"or "Undo Tile".

 

Since you have Microsoft Office installed, you may take advantage

of its binder feature. A binder is a container that can hold documents

from different applications: Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.

 

You may find that a binder is useful when working on a project that

involves documents from different applications. For example, you

may be preparing a sales presentation that uses charts and tables from

Excel, reports and memos from Word, and slides prepared with

PowerPoint. You can store all the information in a single file. Another

advantage is that you can print the entire binder, and all pages are

numbered in sequence.

 

To use a binder start the Binder application ("Start"| "Microsoft

Office Tools"| "Microsoft Binder"). You get an empty binder.

You then can add existing documents or create new ones.

 

To start a new binder, click"File" |  "New Binder" in Office Binder,

or just open"Office Binder". When you're working in the "Office Binder"

window, the left pane shows the sections that make up the binder you're

working on, and the right pane shows the active section. The files you

add to the binder can be new blank files or existing files. To add an

existing file, drag the file from"Windows Explorer" to the left pane of

the"Office Binder" window, or click  "Section" | "Add from File"

in"Office Binder".

If you're creating a new toolbar button in a Microsoft Office

application, you can copy toolbar button images from one application

to another. For example, if you've created a custom macro button

in Word, you can apply one of Excel's built-in button images to

it. This way, you're not limited to a single application's button

image collection.

 

To copy button images between Office applications, open the Office

application that contains the button image you'd like to copy.

Choose"Tools" | "Customize" from the menu bar and click

on the"Commands" tab. To select it, click on the button in the

toolbar area you'd like to copy. Then click"Modify Selection" in

the"Customize" dialog box.

 

Note: As an alternative, merely right-click on the button you'd like

to copy. In the shortcut menu that is revealed, choose"Copy

Button Image".

 

Now open the Office application in which you'd like to paste

the copied button image. Choose"Tools" | "Customize" from the menu

bar and then click on the"Commands" tab. This time, right-click on

the button to which you wish to apply the copied image; choose

"Paste Button Image". The button image you copied will be applied

to the button you selected. Click"Close" to dismiss the "Customize"

dialog box, and then use your new button as desired.

 

Note: You can copy and paste button images within the same Office

application, as well, using the above method.

You can spot the work of an amateur because amateurs use a

hyphen or two when they ought to use an"em dash". An "em dash" looks

like a hyphen but is wider-it's as wide as the letter m.

 

To place"em dashes" in your Word  documents (and impress your

readers):

 

1.  Place your cursor at a break in thought (need for "em dash").

Choose"Insert" |  "Symbol"".

 

2.  Click the "Special Characters" tab in the "Symbol" dialog

    box.

 

3.  Choose "Em Dash".

 

4.  Click "Insert" and then click the "Close" button.

 

Note: Another way to create an"em dash" is by typing two hyphens

in a row (no space on either side). Word turns them into a single

"em dash"in some typefaces (Times New Roman, for instance).

You can also press Alt+Ctrl+- (the minus sign key on the Numeric

keypad) to enter an em dash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pat Smoker mentioned that at CES Annual Conference last week,

Steve Engleking, (CED, LaGrange Co), was expressing concern

with the fact that AgIS was encouraging the use of Acrobat. He

felt that PDF documents are too difficult to copy and paste,

stemming from the fact that when selecting text in a multi-

column document, the entire line would be highlighted across all

columns.

 

He was extremely gratified when Pat was able to show him that

by holding down the [Ctrl] key, any block of text can be highlighted.

Steve felt all Ag staff would benefit from this knowledge, so he and

Pat Smoker are the guys to thank if you've been having difficulty

copying and pasting from PDF documents.

 

Note; It is impossible to copy from some PDF documents if they are

created with that goal. The intent is to not freely share information

via the web. University of Wisconsin Extension documents are an

example since they prefer you purchase the hard copy.

 

From Russ Merzdorf, graphic designer, ACS, comes this additional information since AgIS is supporting Acrobat 5.0:

 

"It might be important to pass along to those who are concerned about content integrity/security that PDFs can be password protected from both copying and editing content information.

 

The copying restriction also comes in handy for exclusive photos which the author does not want redistributed or repurposed without his/her knowledge.

 

In order to accomplish these security measures, the PDF creator must have the Adobe Acrobat Authoring Package (not the free Reader). It does have a cost, but it is not expensive."

 

 

 

 

If your mouse is equipped with a wheel (Intellimouse), you probably use it to

scroll up and down long documents or worksheets. You may not

be aware that you can also use it to change the zoom percentage for

your view. To do so, hold down the [Ctrl] key and move the

scroll wheel. Rolling the wheel down decreases the zoom percentage

and rolling up increases the percentage.

 

Unfortunately, the maximum you can zoom out to is 100 percent,

so if you need to go beyond that limit you must use one of the

traditional zoom methods (click the arrow next to the percentage box

on your Standard toolbar or"View" | "Zoom").

 

If you have the option and you'd rather have your mouse wheel

zoom by default, choose"Tools" | "Options" from the menu bar,

switch to the"General" tab, and select the "Zoom on Roll with

IntelliMouse"check box. After you click "OK", rolling the wheel

zooms and rolling the wheel while holding down the [Ctrl] key

Question: I'm left-handed. Is there a way in Windows to configure a

mouse for left-handed people?

 

Answer: Sure. Start by clicking on"Start" | "Settings", then "Control

Panel". Double-click the"Mouse" and press the "Buttons" tab. Here's

where you may indicate whether you want to set your mouse up for a

left- or right-handed person. As you see, the left and right buttons may

be set for click or double-click and drag-and-drop for one while the other

may call up a context-sensitive menu dependent on the software

program you're using.

 

Generally, most users click and double-click more often than they call up

context-sensitive menus. Thus, left-handed computer users would likely

use the right button (closest to the index finger) for click and double-click;

right-handers would likely use the left for the same purpose. Other options

are available on the menu. Your mouse is at your command.

You can create custom desktop wallpaper in Word simply by

scanning/creating, inserting as a file, and saving as a bitmap file

to the C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper folder.

 

Note: Saving as a"bitmap" file may not be an option when you

scan in your photo or choose your wallpaper. Simply save as a

.tif, .gif., or jpeg, bring it up in Photo Editor ("Start"| "Programs" |

"Microsoft Office Tools" | "Microsoft Photo Editor") and "Save As"

a"Windows bitmap" file in C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper.

 

To apply the custom wallpaper, right-click on an open area of the

Windows desktop; select"Properties" from the resulting shortcut

menu. Click on the"Background" tab and then select the filename

from the"Wallpaper" area and click "OK". When you do, Windows

applies the bitmap file as your desktop wallpaper.

 

Note: You may choose to center the image (which will extend it

full screen) or you may tile it; it's your choice.

 

 

 

 

Do you need to see how much disk space is free? Use your right

mouse button to click the icon for the drive in"My Computer",

and then click"Properties". "Used" and "Free" space is color-coded

on a pie chart.

 

Related to this:

 

You can solve disk space problems on your computer by using the

"Disk Space Troubleshooter"in "Help" ("My Computer" | Help",

type in"Disk Space Troubleshooter" ).

To free disk space, try emptying the "Recycle Bin" (right click

           on it and choose "Empty Recycle Bin"). Deleted files and folders

           are saved in the "Recycle Bin" until you empty it.

Have you ever wished you could send/attach a Word, Excel, or

PowerPoint document directly from the application rather than

having to open Netscape Messenger, pressing"Attach", and

searching for the file you want to send?

 

You can. Just open the document you'd like to send or are composing,

and choose"File" | "Send To" | "Mail Recipient" from the menu bar.

When you do, your default email client is launched."Netscape

Messenger"creates a new message, and attaches a copy of the

current document to the new message.

 

All you need to do is specify the message's recipients, add any

appropriate message text if desired, and send the message on its

way.

 

You can move the taskbar to any edge of your screen by dragging it

Close All Windows in Word

 

We know we can minimize all open windows on our screens

with the [Windows] + [m]. But you may keep multiple Word,

documents open on your screen and you need to close them all at

the same time, for instance, to speed up the shutdown process.

 

One way is to create a"Close All" button on your toolbar:

 

Click"Tools" | "Customize" | "Commands" tab; select "Close All".

Drag the icon to a spot on your Standard toolbar (hold down left

mouse button) and drop it.

 

If you prefer not to add a button to the toolbar, you may use

[Shift] |"File" | "Close All".

 

Close all Workbooks Without Exiting Excel

 

If you have several workbooks open and you want to close them all,

doing so can be a pain. The fastest way that comes to

mind is exiting from Excel. However, if you aren't done working

in Excel, this technique is equally tedious since you then have to

re-launch the program. Fortunately, you can quickly close multiple

files in Excel without quitting the application. To do so, hold

down the [Shift] key and open the File menu. You'll find that the

usual Close command has been replaced with Close All.

 

Do you frequently want or need to switch among open applications

and dislike searching your minimized icons for the correct one?

 

Simply press [Alt] + [Tab] (wherever you are on screen) and hold

(or click space bar) until the application you want is highlighted.

Release and your request appears on the screen.

 

Have you ever lost the speaker icon from your task bar and not

known how to recover same?

 

Go to"Start" | "Settings" | "Control Panel" | "Multimedia".

Click on the"Audio" tab.

Check the"Show volume control on the taskbar" box (under

"Playback") and click"OK".

 

You may have to restart for the icon to show on your taskbar.

 

Question:

Is there a way you can tell when a file was created or

modified in Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint?

 

Answer:

Yes; first, open the file on which you'd like to know the

creation/modification dates. In the"File" menu, click on "Properties"

and press the tab marked"General". You'll see the date and time the

file was created and/or modified.

 

Get help on nearly any item in a dialog box.by just clicking the

question mark on the title bar (same as the"What's This"

in the"Help" menu). Then click on the item.

 

When you have a question about a Microsoft application (Word, Excel,

PowerPoint), the first resource you're likely to use is Help. Microsoft's

Help menu offers a number of uses: You can ask the Office Assistant

a question or search through the Microsoft Help contents and index.

You may even link to information on the Internet.

 

However, when Microsoft Help doesn't provide an adequate

answer to your question, don't give up. Check out the Microsoft Knowledge

Base, a searchable database of technical support articles covering

Microsoft products, at

 

 

For additional support, visit Microsoft Product Support Services at

 

 

Here you'll find a collection of personalized support

options available for home, education, and business customers;

partners and resellers; developers; and IT professionals. The answers

are out there; you just have to know where to look for them!

 

 

 

In your Microsoft applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher):

 

To quickly replace text, select it and type. You don't need to delete

before you start typing.

 

Don't forget about the Undo and Redo icons on your Standard toolbar;

 

To restore text to its original formatting, press Ctrl + Spacebar.

 

In Word and PowerPoint, to quickly switch views, click the view

buttons on the horizontal scroll bar.

 

When using the Spellchecker, go to the next misspelled word by

pressing Alt + F7 or double-click the spelling icon on the status bar.

 

To remove a button from a toolbar, simply hold down the Alt key,

click on the button, and drag the button off the toolbar. Customizing

toolbars is covered in the General Tips at:

 

 

 

 

 

 

       Confirm that someone is who they say they are before giving out information,

      particularly if a call from the supposed support person is unplanned and unexpected.

 

      Never send your password via e-mail to a support person. The text of e-mail messages can

      easily be snooped out. It is also very easy to fake the return address of an e-mail so that it

      looks like it actually originated from a legitimate support person.

 

      Choose passwords wisely:

 

           Do not pick easily guessed passwords such as names of family members or pets.

 

           Do not use real words. Password-cracking tools can easily figure out these

           passwords. Password can be pronounceable but should not be found in the

           dictionary. A good password will include a combination of upper and lower case,

           numeric and special characters and be at least six characters long.

 

      Don't write passwords on Post-it Notes affixed to computers or other easy-to-find

      locations.

 

      Change passwords frequently.

 

      Use different passwords for different systems.

 

      Use a shredder to destroy documents, that contain security info, so that they cannot be reassembled.

 

      Physically destroy CDs and diskettes when disposing of them. Deleted or erased data on storage media can be recovered.

 

If someone calls and requests a password, if the user doesn't recognize the voice or has any doubts, simply indicate you're busy at the moment and will respond with the information in a few minutes. Then wait a few minutes and call Support. This will ensure that you are indeed in contact with AgIS or someone who legitimately should have this or any other sensitive info.

 

 

 

To move selected text between windows, drag it to another window.

To copy it, press CTRL while you drag.

 

If you have a keyboard that includes a Windows key (Windows icon, bottom left row of your keyboard), here are some keystrokes to save time and effort:

 

Do you have several windows (or even just a few) open and need to see your desktop? Instead of minimizing each individually, minimize them all at once: Press the Windows key and the letter m  simultaneously to minimize all windows to your task bar.

 

           OR

 

To close all open documents at once, hold down the [Shift ]key while you  click the "File" menu. The "Close All" command appears on the menu in place of the ordinary "Close" command. The "Close All" command is also available in the "Customize "dialog box, from which you can add it to a toolbar or menu. .

 

Press the Windows key plus the Shift and letter m , simultaneously and all  previously open windows will reappear

 

Press the Windows key and the letter e simultaneously to launch the Exploring My Computer window.

 

Press Windows key and the letter F to launch the Find dialog window to search for: missing files or folders; to find shortcuts; or to find a computer on your network.

 

Press Windows key and the letter R simultaneously to launch the Run dialog box. You can start Excel  by typing excel  and pressing Enter.

 

Print a Reference lList of Word's Keyboard Shortcuts

 

To help you work more efficiently, Word offers an extensive collection of keyboard shortcuts that you can use to perform common operations. You can easily print a list of these keyboard shortcuts as a quick

reference guide. To do so, choose"File"| "Print "from the menu bar. In the"Print "dialog box, choose "Key Assignments" from the "Print What" dropdown list, and then click"OK". Word proceeds to print a

multi-page table that lists the keyboard shortcuts (if any) assigned to each command, as well as the menu where you'll find the command if you prefer to use the mouse.

To repeat most commands and actions, press F4 or [CTRL]+Y

To select a single word, double-click on it.

 

To select an entire line, hold down CTRL and click

anywhere in the line or triple-click to the left of the line.

 

To select an entire document, when cursor changes to

a right-pointing arrow on the left of the document, triple-click;

or use your keyboard and pres [CTRL-A].

Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Office Tools -> Microsoft Office

Shortcut Bar

 

You may customize this bar by adding/removing shortcut icons--see Tip at

by Customizing Buttons, moving them were you want them on the bar,

or simply deleting those you seldom or never use. Don't forget to

delete (or move) your present desktop items to the bar to clean up

your desktop.

 

By right-clicking on the Shortcut bar, you may also choose to

Auto Hide, i.e., the bar disappears from your desktop

until you run the cursor over it when it reappears. Or you

may want to Customize color, Ttoolbars, etc. or

make several other choices.

 

The bar is movable as are most of Microsoft's toolbars. Simply

grab the end near the Office title and move to top, bottom, or

either side of your screen as preferred.

Rather than highlighting a file or folder name and carefully scrolling

over it with the mouse to switch it to Rename mode, why not use

the keyboard? To rename a selected file or folder, click on it, press F2,

type in the new name, and press Enter.

 

You may also just right-click on the file or folder and choose Rename.

Type in the new name and click outside the box.

In Microsoft applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) you may

customize your toolbars with icons you use regularly:

 

Click on View on Menu Bar | Toolbars (or right-click on the menu bar to right of Help)

Customize | Commands tab

Drag new items to specific toolbar (Standard, Formatting, Drawing, etc.) or

create your own custom toolbar.

 

To remove icons (you seldom or never use), hold down the Alt key

while clicking and dragging (left mouse button) off the application window

to the desktop.

 

Note: For those interested in custom toolbars, ask your Office Assistant

for help by typing"create custom toolbar" in the query dialog box

and click on Search.

By default, the Microsoft Office Assistant displays a

Tip of the Day when an Office application, such as PowerPoint, Word,

or Excel loads. Read the tip if you want to, and then click O

to close the window.

 

The tips are useful when you're starting to use a new application,

but can be disabled when you wish. When you disable the tips in one

Microsoft Office application, it

disables them in all of the applications in the Office suite. If you

don't see the Tip of the Day, it has already been disabled.

 

To disable or re-enable the tips:

 

1. Right-click on the Office Assistant

2. Select Options and click

3. Click on Show the Tip of the Day at startup to remove or add the selection

checkmark

The P drive is backed up on your county system. Should an unusual situation

occur, and information has been saved to the C or F drives on your

desktop tower, that material will be lost because the tower is not backed up.

 

Be sure your administrator has set the default location for applications

you use to the P drive. You may check to be sure of the default setting

by choosing Save As from the File menu. At the top of that dialog

window it will say Save in: The choice there should be P.

 

If not, the default setting for Microsoft Word may be changed under

Tools on the menu bar. Choose Options, then File Locations.

If the Default setting in the window is not set to P:\, press the

Modify button in the lower right of the dialog box. A Modify Location

dialog box will appear and you can change the Look in: to the P drive

and your default setting for Word will be correct.

 

You will have to check each application separately, i.e., in PowerPoint

you will find the default under ToolsàOptionsàSave where you make

the modification to the Default file location:

 

In Excel, you may change the default under ToolsàOptionsàGeneralàDefault file location:

Files of type is very important to note when opening documents.

Users need to be in All Files (or they won't see their Word Perfect

or other documents). We still get frequent calls from users unable to find

files from the SUN systems or in other applications, i.e., Excel, PowerPoint, etc.

Scott Gabbard, Shelby County, adds a new dimension.

 

Have you noticed that how a document will appear depends on

how Word2000 opens that document? For instance, if you

have been opening a lot of old WP files and you use the

Recover text from any file (*.*) vs. All Word Documents (*.doc . . .)

you will get a bunch of gibberish along with the documents.

This has not been a big issue unless you forget what

the problem is (or you are not familiar with this nuance).

           Start -> Find -> Files or Folders

          On Drive C look for particular application wanted (Word, CODB, etc.).

           Find icon with “arrow” and drag to workspace holding left

         mouse button down.

 

You may find missing files and/or folders using this same method if you know

at least a portion of the file/folder name and on which drive it was stored.

As an example, when formatting copy in Microsoft applications:

 

Question: How do I double-space existing text in MSWord?

 

 

  A.Select/highlight the text; choose Format (from menu bar), -> Paragraphà

 

     Indents and Spacing

     Below Line Spacing, choose Double (spacing) -> OK

 

 

    Most the above operations are also available by using the Alt key on your keyboard and the

    underlined letter of the word, i.e., Alt o (Format) -> Alt P (Paragraph) -> Alt I (Indents and Spacing )

 

     Under Line Spacing, choose Double (spacing) -> OK

 

 

     Select/highlight the text; click Double Space from the formatting toolbar.

 

 

Note:

   1.      You must select the copy before performing any operation on it.

   2.      You may use the menu bar and/or keyboard and the options provided

      under it or you may prefer to use less operations by using/customizing

Question: What if you want to clear this list and start over to track

a series of files?

 

Answer: Right click on the gray (empty) area of your Taskbar

(bottom of window) and choose"Properties".

Choose the"Start Menu Programs" tab.

The bottom half of that dialog box has the option to Click the Clear

button to remove the contents of the Documents Menu;

Click Clear and then OK.
