Welcome to Mrs. Singer's Tips & Tricks with Computer Applications Section! Tips & Tricks.... Macintosh & Microsoft Word 98


I've circled in GREEN the options that will be used in this lesson.  When you
click on yours a black checkmark will appear such as the one next to Standard on my menu.


Toolbar options


I've circled in Green some of the many added buttons that become visible after
you've selected the options that I've suggested. You may have the horizontal bars
at the top of the work area or at the bottom (scroll down to see some at the bottom)...
 Just click and drag the button bars to move them where you find it best!

Note: For those who want to know more about how I gathered the pictures of the 
examples, here is what I did.  I took Screen Shots... On a Macintosh,
hold down the following keys: Command+Shift+4 This will provide a "crosshair"
looks like this... +  you place this crosshair at the top corner of what you want to 
take a picture of, as you drag it you'll notice a box... as soon as you let go of the mouse button the computer takes a "Screen Shot" and stores it on the Hard Drive for you to open later when you double click on it! I used this method to collect all of my examples!

 File Format Woes! Yup, I had to think a bit when it came to opening up the image file
format since it is saved in .pct format.  First, I emailed the images to myself from my PowerBook,
then, I opened them up on my DELL desktop.  The images were all in .pct format and my
favorite editing program couldn't open up that format, so... I first opened them up in
Adobe PhotoShop, saved them as .tif files then opened them up in my old Image Composer
program and re-saved them as .gif.  I know, a silly way to do it, but I really love Microsoft's
old Image Composer... I can use it without thinking and just enjoy the process of being
artistic.  ' just because it isn't the newest and most powerful doesn't mean that you can't
still enjoy using it!
