What's New at Linda's Computer StopWell....I was on vacation this past month so I didn't get a chance to add too much to my site. Also, I'm working on some new ebooks (FrontPage, Windows XP, etc.), which I hope you will like, and that's been keeping me plenty busy. I did add some new links to my tutorials pages which should be helpful and I'm working on an article on Word formatting for Jack Teems' Neat Net Tricks premium edition which I'm hoping will help people with the frustrations they have with Word and how it wants to make too many decisions for you. So, I haven't forgotten you all and I promise to get this stuff done soon!In the meantime, why don't you drop me a line and let me know what it is you would like to see added to my site? Now, I'm not asking you to send me letters telling me your problems. I know we all have them - that's why I list a bunch of email groups on my support page where you can get these problems solved for free. What I'm asking you for is suggestions for tutorials or tips that you would like to see added to my page. If you have any ideas for me, please send them along and I will certainly consider them. Hope you have all had a wonderful summer! (or whatever season it is in your part of the world) Please stop by my site and browse around and tell me what I'm missing. And, if any of you would like to write an article for ABC, don't be shy. Send me them ideas! Linda Adding Items to My Places You know how the Office 2000 and XP programs all have those icons on the left of the Save As and Open boxes where you can click on My Documents or Desktop to go to that folder? This is called the Places Bar and Microsoft has a free add-in that you can download here if you want to be able to customize the contents of that bar in Office 2000. However, if you have Office XP, you can do it without an add-in. Simply click on the folder you want to add, then click on the Tools button at the top of the Window and choose "Add to 'My Places' "
It now appears in the list on the left and you can right click on any icon in the bar and choose to move it up or down to arrange them in the order you like. Also, with a simple right click, you can rename or remove any of the ones you add. I find this helpful and hope you do too.
