What's New at Linda's Computer Stop

Hey everybody!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday season.  I know I sure did.  Unfortunately, becuz I was having such a good time, I didn't add a lot of new stuff to my website.  But I did manage to add one REALLY cool thing --  FREE COMPUTER GREETING CARDS!!  So, now when one of your friends is whining about their hard drive biting the dust or getting the blue screen of death, you can send them a *not so sympathetic* e-card ... LOL

You can customize them with your choice of background colors or designs, choose music for them, and enter your own text.

Why not go there now and send ME a card?  I'd love to hear how you like them.

Linda's Computer Cards

Thanks so much to Tori and Robert, of Omniana, for designing and producing these cards for me.  I think they did a wonderful job, don't you?  I highly recommend that you visit Omniana and see the other goodies they have.  It's a great website. 

"Omniana - Award winning graphic design - Competitive prices and personalized service for all your design needs. We do logos, letterheads, business cards, slogans, website design, book covers, custom screensavers, regular screensavers, buttons, banners, DVD & CD Covers, editing and more. We can even design awards for your site to give away."

They also designed the new logo for ABC and Linda's Computer Stop.  You can see the new "computer on wheels" at the top of every issue of ABC and the full logo at my homepage:

And, if you visit Omniana, tell them Linda sent you!


I also wrote a new article for TechTrax this month.  It's all about Custom Cell Formatting in Excel

Read it at TechTrax:

or at my website:

Of course, I've also added some new links to my favorite links page, so go there and check out the revolving Ns:

Well...that's about it for this month.  Please come back to my site often to see what else I've added and drop me a line if you have any suggestions.

Subscribers' Exclusive Tip
Command Line Switches for the Office Programs

Some people don't know that all of the Office programs have command line switches you can use to perform unique tasks.  Command line switches are run from the Run box (Start button>click on "Run") and can be used to troubleshoot problems, fix problems, or as shortcuts.  You can use a command line switch to see if Word has a corrupt global template and that's why it won't start for you.  You can use a command line switch to restore corrupted toolbars in Outlook. You can even use a command line switch to print a PowerPoint presentation.  Microsoft has pages that tell all about the command line switches and, a long time ago, Vic Ferri was kind enough to compile them for me, so I thought I would share this list with you.  I recommend you read them and see if there's any you don't know about or could use.
