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.

If you select a block of pre-written text and start typing, your typed text replaces the selected text. This is normal behavior in most Windows programs that support text editing.

However, depending on your needs and normal workflow you may wish a different behavior to occur. Some editors support a feature whereby the pre-written text is not replaced, but new typed text is placed before this selected text. To turn this behavior on in Microsoft Word 2010:…

17 Aug

Illustrate how to use a software program or web service by adding a screenshot into your PowerPoint 2010 presentation.

Perhaps you need to give a Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 presentation that instructs participants how to use a particular piece of software or web service. Just describing the features isn’t enough; screenshots may prove quite useful.

In previous versions of PowerPoint you would need an external screen capture software package. However, PowerPoint 2010 lets you capture screenshots with just a couple of clicks:…

Microsoft Word 2010 – Give Your Text a Healthy Glow

Microsoft Publisher 2010 – Stop Accidentally Moving Text!

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”:…

Microsoft Excel 2010 – Show Trends Inside a Cell via Sparklines

10 Aug

Display miniature graphs, sparklines, showing trends in a series of data in an Excel 2010 worksheet.

While it is relatively easy to place multiple graphs inside a Microsoft Excel 2010 worksheet, adding too many may make your document seem unwieldy. However, multiple graphs may prove useful, especially when determining trends. For example, a worksheet containing rows of prices of different stocks across several quarters might benefit from graphs showing the trends of each stock’s price. The same could be said for a group of students’ grades (see the below screenshot), sales figures from your sales team, etc.

With the use of “Sparklines” you can add smaller miniature graphs for each row of data illustrating trends for each row:…

Microsoft Outlook 2010 – Show Total Number of Items in a Folder Instead

10 Aug

Instead of just showing the number of unread items inside a folder in Outlook 2010, show the total item count.

In Microsoft Outlook 2010, the Navigation Pane shows the Inbox underneath “Favorites” and then as another link below in the full folder list. The “Favorites” link shows the total number of items in the Inbox, while the link in the folder list shows only the count of new (unread) items.

By default, Outlook 2010 displays the number of new items next to folders. If you would rather show the total number of items in a particular folder instead, do the following quick tweak:…
