Also, don't forget to read all the great articles in this month's ABC written by my fellow EA instructors.  These people sure do know their stuff!!

And, of course, I've added a few more links to my Fun Stuff To Do on the Web page, so be sure to go there and look for the revolving Ns.  And PLEASE send me any fun links of your own. If I check them out and like them, I will include them for you.

Well, that's about all that is new this month (except I got a new car *wink*).  Please come back to my site often to see what else I've added and drop me a line if you have any suggestions.

Do you get tired of having to change your printer options every time you want to print an envelope or a legal-sized page in Landscape orientation?  Well, there's a way around this.  All you have to do is set up multiple icons for the same printer in your Printers window, each with these unique settings.

Click on the Start button, then point to Settings, then choose Printers. In the Printers window, double click the Add Printer icon. Let the wizard walk you through the steps and choose the same printer you already have installed.  Just give the icon a name that lets you know what it is, such as Business Envelope or Legal Size Landscape.

Once you've installed the same printer a couple times with different names, right click the icons and choose Properties. Select the paper/envelope size, orientation, paper source, and other options, then click OK to save your changes. From now on, you can print that type of document or envelope from within any program, just by choosing that printer name from the dropdown box at the top of your Print dialog box, when you go to File>Print.

This can be a handy time saver if you are like me and print various sizes of documents, envelopes, labels, cards, etc.
