08 Aug

While some complicated Microsoft Excel 2010 workbooks may have dozens, if not more worksheets, you may sometimes create workbooks that only require one worksheet tab. In this case, why show the worksheet tabs if you don’t need to use them? By hiding these tabs, and also the horizontal and / or vertical scroll bars, you can slightly increase the room onscreen used to display your workbook.

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 – Stop Asking to Save Ink Annotations!

06 Aug

Prevent PowerPoint 2010 from even asking to save ink annotations after a presentation.

When you give presentations with Microsoft PowerPoint 2010, you might choose to use the Pen or Highlighter tools. These can draw attention to a portion of a slide, draw shapes, write text, etc.

After exiting a presentation, PowerPoint 2010 asks if you want to save these ink annotations. However, if you give the same presentation to multiple audiences, the annotations may only be for the benefit of one group of people and do not need to be kept. So why have PowerPoint ask you this when you can configure an option that automatically discards them?…

Microsoft Excel 2010 – Quick Tip: Add a Manual Line Break

24 Jul

A keyboard shortcut to manually add a line break inside a cell.

If you have a lot of text that needs to be placed inside a cell in a Microsoft Excel 2010 workbook, you could decrease the size of the font to fit more text inside, but do so too much and the text will become ineligible. You could increase the cell width, but this affects every cell in the column. And you could merge neighbor cells together so the text flows automatically to the right, but depending on your layout this may not be feasible.

Or, one other option is to wrap the text in a cell. But pressing ENTER while typing data into a cell moves the cell pointer down, so how can this be done? …

Microsoft Outlook 2010 – Display Formatting Marks When Editing Email

20 May

Display formatting marks for paragraphs, spaces, tabs, and other characters when editing e-mails and other items in Outlook 2010.

You may have Microsoft Word 2010 configured to show formatting marks when editing documents. Examples of these marks include dots to signify spaces (to help ensure you don’t have too many between words), right arrows to signify tabs (to differentiate between tab characters and just a group of spaces), and pilcrows to signify new paragraphs.

If you are accustomed to seeing these marks you can enable them in Microsoft Outlook 2010 when editing e-mails, even when doing so in plain-text mode:…

Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 – Change Default AutoRecover and Presentation File Locations

20 May

Change the default directory where PowerPoint 2010 presentations are saved as well as where AutoRecover files are kept.

By default, as with other Office 2010 applications, Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 defaults to the user Documents directory to save presentations. AutoRecover files, useful if PowerPoint 2010 or your system crashes before a document is saved, are placed in the user’s AppData directory. For example, on standard Windows 7 installations, documents default to the C:\ Users\ YOUR_USER_NAME\ Documents folder, and AutoRecover files are stored at C:\ Users\ YOUR_USER_NAME\ AppData\ Roaming\ Microsoft\ PowerPoint.

If you have multiple hard drives and/or partitions, you may have one designated to keep data files and documents separate from programs and your operating system. Thus, moving these default locations to the other hard drive or partition might prove quite useful. And here’s how to do so:…

20 May

When pasting text into a Word 2010 document, hide the Paste Options button that tends to appear.

Microsoft Publisher 2010 – Hide Recent Publications List or Show More

02 May

For privacy, configure Publisher 2010 not to show the list of your recent publications. Or, show more of them.

By default, Microsoft Publisher 2010 displays a list of your recent publications when selecting “Recent” from the Backstage View. This lets you quickly access publications that you have previously edited, especially useful if you save documents on a wide array of folders and/or network locations.

If you find this feature useful and work on a large number of publications, you may wish Publisher 2010 to show more recent documents. On the other hand, if you are concerned about privacy you may wish Publisher 2010 to not show this information. To make either configuration change:…
