How to draw shapes, lines, Arrows in MsWord

No comments


Shapes are good for helping you to illustrate the points you want to make to your readers and Microsoft Word 2010 now has a huge selection of shapes that you can draw in your documents. After you add one or more shapes, you can add text, bullets, numbering, and Quick Styles to them.


To insert a shape, click Insert > Illustrations > Shapes. The panel that opens shows the shapes you can insert.
Click the Small Arrow below the shapes
See shapes
The shapes are organised in the following categories:
• Recently Used Shapes - the last few shapes you inserted into a document.
• Lines - you can insert straight lines, straight lines with corners, curved lines, lines with arrows on and closed polygons.
• Rectangles
• Basic Shapes - triangles, polygons and an assortment of other common "basic" shapes.
• Block Arrows - you can add block arrows that face all the different directions and you can also add some interesting variations on the block arrow.
• Equation Shapes - basic symbols used in equations, such as '+', '-', 'x' etc.
• Flowchart - if you need to create a flowchart, Microsoft Word 2010 has all the flowchart shapes covered.
• Stars and Banners
• Callouts - callouts are lines that end in a box for you to type in. They are useful for explaining a certain element on the page.
After Selecting any of the shapes, microsoft word will move to the typing interface (i.e the page) allowing you to draw. In the above image, the arrow facing left is select, so our image will be like the one below;

Adjusting A Shape
Once you've inserted a shape into your document, you'll find that it is easy to resize it. Click the shape to select it and you should see resize handles appear at each corner and along each edge of the shape's bounding box. Click and drag on any of those handles to resize. Note that you can keep the shape's proportions by dragging a corner handle. If you want to "squash" the shape, drag one of the handles along an edge.
Note:  It is advisable to resize diagonally in order to retain the shape of the object. (See example below)
 Start dragging from the spot where you this image...
Additionally, you can change a shape's orientation by rotating it. With the shape still selected, you should see a green rotation handle at the top and set away from the other handles. If you hover the mouse over that handle, the cursor will change to a rotation symbol. Click and drag to the left or right to rotate the shape anticlockwise or clockwise respectively.
To delete a shape from your document, select it and press the delete key on your keyboard, or the backspace key. Tired of the shape, need new, see how to delete shape

Lock Down Your Laptop (Secure it)

No comments
What’s on your laptop? Your salary evaluation? Your credit card information? Your Company's documents? Maybe your bank account password or social security number. If you think about it, your laptop contains a lot of personal data that you'll seriously think of if you lost it. Laptops are gradually replacing desktops in homes and businesses and likely contain sensitive personal data. Are you taking the right precautions to protect your data by setting password on them? Hopefully, but if not, this article will describe some methods you can use to lock your laptop down and make it difficult for unauthorized users to access your personal data.


Methods of Securing Your Laptop Data
Portable computers need a way to either prevent access to data or encrypt that data so it can never be read. Here are a few methods you can use to lock a laptop down.
Physical Laptop Lock – We know they look stupid, but a Physical Laptop Lock will help prevent your laptop (along with all of its valuable data) from just walking away. It can happen in seconds: you turn your head to talk to someone; you go up to the counter for a second double espresso at Starbucks, or someone just does a snatch and run. A physical lock is a deterrent that will cause a would-be thief to look for an easier target.
BIOS Password – A BIOS password is minimally helpful if your laptop is stolen or recovered by someone who isn’t tech savvy enough to get around it. The BIOS is a chip on the motherboard that contains a small amount of software that identifies your hardware and instructs your computer where to look for the Operating System. A BIOS password can be used to lock the BIOS and prevent your computer from booting. Unfortunately, there are ways to clear the BIOS and default BIOS passwords that can be used for various computer models .
Bit Locker – Bit Locker is available on Ultimate and Enterprise versions of Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Bit locker provides encryption for the entire volume, so if an unauthorized user manages to boot the laptop, there is no way they can decrypt the volume to read what is on the drive without providing a physical key or a password. Many corporations will have this enabled on their portable computers to prevent secure data from being stolen.
Windows Password – You would be surprised to find how many people do not even have the most basic security feature set for their computer. A simple Windows log in password can thwart most people from accessing a computer–especially in Windows Vista, 7 and beyond, where it is more difficult to change a Windows password with third-party hacking tools. Learn how to set a secure password here.

Securing A Laptop Concluded

As you can see, there is no reason why you shouldn’t be able to add even the most basic laptop security to your computer. Out of the options above, a physical laptop lock is advisable for students or people who frequently leave their laptops unattended for several minutes in public places. A BIOS password isn’t preferable to a good Windows password or using Bit Locker if your computer has the hardware and software capable of running it.

How to correctly use a computer mouse

No comments
Just as you might use your hands to interact with objects in the physical world, you can use your mouse to interact with items on your computer screen. You can move objects, open them, change them, throw them away, and perform other actions, all by pointing and clicking with your mouse.

Basic parts

A mouse typically has two buttons: a primary button (usually the left button) and a secondary button (usually the right button). You will use the primary button most often. Most mice also include a scroll wheel between the buttons to help you scroll through documents and webpages more easily. On some mice, the scroll wheel can be pressed to act as a third button. Advanced mice might have additional buttons that can perform other functions.

Parts of a mouse

Holding and moving the mouse

Mouse pointers
Place your mouse beside your keyboard on a clean, smooth surface, such as a mouse pad. Hold the mouse gently, with your index finger resting on the primary button and your thumb resting on the side. To move the mouse, slide it slowly in any direction. Don't twist it—keep the front of the mouse aimed away from you. As you move the mouse, a pointer (see picture) on your screen moves in the same direction. If you run out of room to move your mouse on your desk or mouse pad, just pick up the mouse and bring it back closer to you.

Hold the mouse lightly, keeping your wrist straight.

Pointing, clicking, and dragging

Pointing to an item on the screen means moving your mouse so the pointer appears to be touching the item. When you point to something, a small box often appears that describes the item. For example, when you point to the Recycle Bin on the desktop, a box appears with this information: "Contains the files and folders that you have deleted."

Picture of the mouse pointer pointing to the Recycle Bin with the message "Contains the files and folders that you have deleted"
Pointing to an object often reveals a descriptive message about it.
The pointer can change depending on what you're pointing to. For example, when you point to a link in your web browser, the pointer changes from an arrow Picture of the mouse pointer (arrow) to a hand with a pointing finger Picture of a mouse pointer (hand with pointing finger) .
Most mouse actions combine pointing with pressing one of the mouse buttons. There are four basic ways to use your mouse buttons: clicking, double-clicking, right-clicking, and dragging.

Clicking (single-clicking)

To click an item, point to the item on the screen, and then press and release the primary button (usually the left button).
Clicking is most often used to select (mark) an item or open a menu. This is sometimes called single-clicking or left-clicking.

Double-clicking

To double-click an item, point to the item on the screen, and then click twice quickly. If the two clicks are spaced too far apart, they might be interpreted as two individual clicks rather than as one double-click.
Double-clicking is most often used to open items on your desktop. For example, you can start a program or open a folder by double-clicking its icon on the desktop.

Tip

  • If you have trouble double-clicking, you can adjust the double-click speed (the amount of time acceptable between clicks). Follow these steps:
    1. Open Mouse Properties by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type mouse, and then click Mouse.
    2. Click the Buttons tab, and then, under Double-click speed, move the slider to increase or decrease the speed.

Right-clicking

To right-click an item, point to the item on the screen, and then press and release the secondary button (usually the right button).
Right-clicking an item usually displays a list of things you can do with the item. For example, when you right-click the Recycle Bin on your desktop, you'll see a menu with options to open it, empty it, delete it, or see its properties. If you're ever unsure of what to do with something, right-click it.

Picture of the Recycle Bin with right-click menu open
Right-clicking the Recycle Bin opens a menu of related commands.

Dragging

You can move items around your screen by dragging them. To drag an object, point to the object on the screen, press and hold the primary button, move the object to a new location, and then release the primary button.
Dragging (sometimes called dragging and dropping) is most often used to move files and folders to a different location and to move windows and icons around on your screen.

Using the scroll wheel

If your mouse has a scroll wheel, you can use it to scroll through documents and webpages. To scroll down, roll the wheel backward (toward you). To scroll up, roll the wheel forward (away from you).

Customizing your mouse

You can change your mouse settings to suit your personal preferences. For example, you can change how fast your mouse pointer moves around the screen, or change the pointer's appearance. If you're left-handed, you can switch the primary button to be the right button.

Tips for using your mouse safely

Holding and moving your mouse properly can help you avoid soreness or injury to your wrists, hands, and arms, particularly if you use your computer for long periods of time. Here are some tips to help you avoid problems:
  • Place your mouse at elbow level. Your upper arms should fall relaxed at your sides.
  • Don't squeeze or grip your mouse tightly. Hold it lightly.
  • Move the mouse by pivoting your arm at your elbow. Avoid bending your wrist up, down, or to the sides.
  • Use a light touch when clicking a mouse button.
  • Keep your fingers relaxed. Don't allow them to hover above the buttons.
  • When you don't need to use the mouse, don't hold it.
  • Take short breaks from computer use every 15 to 20 minutes.

Alignment and how to align in Msword

No comments
The default alignment for text in a Word document is for it to be left justified. However, you can change that. The alignment buttons on the Home tab (in the Paragraph group) allow us to justify, or align, not only text but other objects as well.
home tab and paragraph ribbon

Aligning Text In Word
alignment
The images on each button give you a good idea of what each alignment option does. When aligning text in Word, all you have to do is place the cursor in a particular paragraph and click one of the buttons. The alighnment affects only that paragraph and no other. Of course, you can select multiple paragraphs and then click one of the alignment buttons and all selected text will be aligned.
Additionally, you can select objects as well as text and align those too using the same buttons. If you want to align an image in your document, you'll find that the Position command (Picture Tools > Format > Arrange) is more versatile, though.
Image Alignment In Word
The Position command is available for all objects you can insert into your document. It gives you the ability to position an object to the left, middle or right horizontally and top, middle or bottom vertically.

Now that we know how to align our text and images, how will we know where anyone's document is aligned to?

As soon as a document is opened, what you're seeing is what will determine where the document is aligned to... See images below
Align Left.
 From the alignment ribbon, you'll notice that the first symbol is coloured orange. This signifies the document is aligned left.

Easy way to convert Word, PDF, Image, Web and Excel Documents

No comments
We all know how annoying it is when we are sent a Word document and we open it in Adobe, or if we are sent a PDF document and we try to open it in Word, and all you get is a jumbled mash of pictures, a messed up layout and sometimes a completely different language. It is simply a pain to try and convert every single document into another format simply so that we can read its contents in the manner in which it is meant to be read. There are so many online tools that offer this services but believe me,  all they are after is to have access to your email address, take you as a customer and not to help you.
So many might request for money before they will render this service but docs.zone will offer it even if they will request for money, you'll still be able to convert for free by following the below steps.
Visit docs.zone
docs.zone screen capture
See the area marked red in the above screenshot. Locate that  part when your browser opens and select your desired conversion link.

How to continue converting after exceeding your free trial...

What docs.com does immediate you visit the website is to track you. So in order to continue using their service freely, you have to permit the website to track you first, disconnect it (not closing your browser) and continue. This below image will pop - up after you might have exceeded the  limit of free conversion.
After seeing the above image, close it. On your keyboard, press ctrl + shift + delete (on mozilla, google chrome or internet explorer) and clear all browsing history including all cookies.
keyboard short-cut
Now open a new tab on your browser (ctrl + T) and visit docs.zone to convert freely. Repeat the clearing steps as long as you still want to convert freely.

Google to Stop Chrome support on Windows XP at year's end

No comments
windows-xp

Google on Thursday announced it will shut down support for Chrome on Windows XP at the end of the year.

"We will continue to provide regular updates and security patches to Chrome on XP through the end of 2015," said Mark Larson, Chrome's director of engineering, in a short blog post Thursday.

A year and a half ago, Larson pledged to support Chrome on the even-then-aged operating system until "at least April 2015."

"We know that not everyone can easily switch to a newer operating system," Larson said of Google's decision to continue supporting Chrome on XP after the latter's retirement. "Millions of people are still working on XP computers every day [and] we want those people to have the option to use a browser that's up-to-date and as safe as possible on an unsupported operating system."

But enough was apparently enough.

Microsoft called it quits on Windows XP a year ago Tuesday, when it issued the final scheduled security updates for the 2001 OS. (The company made a one-time exception shortly thereafter when it shipped an emergency patch for its Internet Explorer (IE) browser.)

Because Microsoft halted security fixes for IE on Windows XP on April 14, 2014, security professionals urged the OS's users to switch to another browser. Dropping IE for Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox or Opera Software's Opera was one way to minimize -- but not eliminate -- risk, they said.

Neither Mozilla or Opera have publicized end-of-support dates for their browsers on Windows XP.

According to Web metrics vendor Net Applications, approximately 18.5% of all Windows PCs ran XP in March, slightly more than half the 34.5% the OS accounted for in October 2013, when Larson set Chrome's earliest support demise at this month.
