[MODIFIED] Mozilla Firefox – Misc – Display Text in the Toolbar for New Users

20 Aug

Make Mozilla Firefox even easier to use for newbies or those with lots of add-ons by labeling toolbar icons. This also displays dedicated “Reload” and “Stop” buttons.

Normally, Mozilla Firefox’s toolbar contains icons that do not contain labels. For example, the arrow pointing left goes to the previous page, and the house goes to the home page.

While these icons are recognizable to frequent web browser users, newbies may not know what each button does. Or, if you have a lot of add-ons installed that place buttons in the toolbar, it may prove difficult to remember what functionality is performed by clicking each button.

Microsoft Word 2010 – Stop Replacing Text If I Accidentally Select It First!

18 Aug

Configure Word 2010 to not replace text if you select it and then start typing.

11 Aug

Prevent accidental moving of text in Publisher 2010 via its drag-and-drop feature.

Like other Office 2010 applications, Microsoft Publisher 2010 has a “feature” that allows text to be dragged and dropped. Drag-and-drop text allows text to be moved around an open document, or text can be moved between other open Office applications.

While some appreciate this capability, others might occasionally use it by accident, moving text around and then frantically pressing CTRL + Z to undo the move. If you fall in this category, here’s how to disable this “feature”:…

Windows Internet Explorer 9 – Allow Different Zoom Levels and Text Sizes

08 Aug

Internet Explorer 9 keeps your current zoom level and text size when opening up new tabs or windows. If you prefer to have different settings, make this tweak.

To make it easier to read small text or view intricate pictures inside Windows Internet Explorer 9, especially useful for some older users, you can adjust the zoom level and / or text size. For example, pressing Ctrl+Shift++ zooms in (hold down the Ctrl, Shift, and + keys), pressing Ctrl+Shift+- (hold down the Ctrl, Shift, and – keys) zooms out, or Ctrl+Shift+0 (hold down the Ctrl, Shift, and zero) resets to the default zoom (100%).

When you make such a change, Internet Explorer 9 assumes that you want to keep these settings whenever opening a new tab or window. This way if you have difficulty reading web pages and always need Internet Explorer to zoom in, you will not have to do so manually each time. …
