TIPS AND TRICKS

Keep it Together in Word

We know it’s always better to keep headings with the text that follows it, or to keep bulleted or numbered lists together. But when you need to put in page breaks in Word, follow these simple steps to make sure you can still keep pertinent text together:

• Select the paragraph(s) you want to keep together. If it's only one paragraph, put your cursor anywhere in it instead of highlighting the whole paragraph.
• Go to the Format Menu and click Paragraph.
• Click on the Line and Page Breaks tab, and select Keep Lines Together.

Togetherness is a great thing, especially if it results in beautifully formatted documents!

FOCUS ON SOFTWARE

Photoshop It!

Photoshop is like the Swiss Army knife of graphics applications as it has many uses.  From removing “red-eye” from your grandchild’s lovely picture to high-end graphic images, Photoshop is often used - it’s even used as a verb these days -  to mean “fixing” a picture or image!  In fact, it has significant value for websites and newsletters.

Photoshop is used mostly to create graphics and text. Cropping and resizing existing graphics, merging graphics together, and using the selection tools help supply images for your newsletter, website, fliers, or even a magazine or catalog sent to subscribers.  Since you can impose one picture on another, there is no end to what you can do if your imagination runs wild. 

Some organizations rely on Photoshop’s more advanced features to “make art”, join existing images seamlessly and touch up older photos.  Whatever is your purpose, explore the features of Photoshop to see how this application can help meet your needs!
