Set the table in Word 2000!
Word 2000 offers better tools for manipulating and formatting
tables than previous versions. If you haven't yet acquainted
yourself with Word 2000's table options, here are two enhancements
that will make editing tables easier than ever.
Relative insertions
To add new columns or rows to an existing table, just click your
table and go to Table | Insert. The options on the resulting
submenu include Columns To The Left, Columns To The Right, Rows
Above, and Rows Below.
These options insert rows or columns relative to the cursor's
location within the table. For example, if you need to add a new
column to the end of your table, click anywhere in the last column
and go to Table | Insert | Columns To The Right.
Targeted formatting
To center a cell entry vertically or to control row height or
column width, select the table cell or cells you want to format,
go to Table | Table Properties to access the Table Properties
dialog box, and click the Cell tab. In the Vertical Alignment
section, choose Top, Center, or Bottom to control how cell entries
appear within the cell.
If using the mouse to adjust column width or row height frustrates
you, manually set row height and width values through the Column
or Row tabs in the Table Properties dialog box.
The Table tab gives you one-stop access to tools for formatting
the table as whole. Most important, with a click of the mouse, you
can easily define how text in your document wraps around the
table.
Adding A Background To An Excel 2000 Worksheet!
There's nothing that says an Excel worksheet has to have a plain
white background. Suppose you have a photograph file on your hard
disk that you'd like to use as a worksheet background.
Choose Format|Sheet|Background. When the Sheet Background dialog
box opens, double-click the picture file that you'd like to use,
double-click its icon. If you want to use a picture as your
worksheet background, make sure the picture is not too dark or
busy -- you don't want to obscure the worksheet data.
Applying Transitions to PowerPoint 2000 Slides!
When you're creating a slide show with a large number of slides,
you might want to set many of the slide transitions to the same
value. To do this, choose View|Slide Sorter. Click the first slide
that you want to apply a transition to and then hold down Ctrl
while you select other slides that will use the same transition.
With the slides selected, choose Slide Show|Slide Transition. Set
your transition parameters and then click Apply.
If you want to apply the same transition to all the slides in the
show, forget about selecting slides, just set up your transition,
and then click Apply to All.

Your
hard disk will crash. Count on it.
It
happens to everyone eventually. And when it does you will be glad
you have a backup copy of all your data.
You do
have an up-to-date backup, don't you?
You
don't? Never fear. Here are the simple ways you can use one of our
Batch files to backup your data for you.
