TIPS AND TRICKS

Reduce MS Word Typos with AutoCorrect

Do you have common typos like “teh” for “the”? Do you write long titles like “Business Development Officer” or “Regional Feedback Survey Report”? Use “AutoCorrect” and make your life easier!

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options.
To turn on the spell checking corrections, choose Replace text as you type, then select Automatically use suggestions from the spelling checker.
To automatically write long titles, from AutoCorrect options, type a shortcut for the long title at the Replace field (e.g. “BDO” for Business Development Officer) and type the full title at the With field. Then click OK.

Word will now make your corrections automatically!

KEEPING YOUR WEBSITE AUDIENCE

Invite Your Visitors and Capture Their Interest!

Do your viewers stay on your site or immediately leave to explore other sites? The longer visitors stay, the more likely they will become believers, regulars and customers! Try these helpful guidelines to make your visitors happy:

Create and rotate good content - Visitors return to sites that contain fresh and useful content. Visitors, like shoppers, have specific needs. Give them what they want and they will join your cause, buy your product and become loyal visitors!
Build for speed – Remove “Splash Pages” as they are slow to load and contain little information. Limit the use of image and multimedia files since they too are slow to download.
Limit shock and awe – Use colors and backgrounds to enhance your message. Reduce busy backgrounds and use dark lettering with light backgrounds. Don’t mix reds and greens as many viewers cannot discern the difference.
Use a simple navigation plan – Visitors and shoppers like clean, crisp ways to move through your site. Use consistent titles and signage that makes it easy for your viewers to find what they are seeking.

If you treat your visitors as shoppers, they will enjoy their visit and will “stick around”!

Access 2007 Lessens Database Fears

Whether you’re a database newbie or an old hand at Access, these new features help makes databases work easier:

Access 2007’s new Layout View allows you to modify your reports while you look at the data.
Access 2007 and Outlook 2007 work together to help gather data by using email.
Instead of storing documents and images by Object Linking and Embedding (OLE), Access 2007 now allows individual records to have attachments: images as well as documents from other Office applications. You can open the non-image document files in their parent program from within Access, allowing you to search and edit them.
You can now save an Access 2007 report as a PDF (Portable Document Format ) or XPS (XML Paper Specification) file for easy distribution while still retaining its formatting characteristics and limiting changes (or disallowing them altogether).

Limit your fears by using these new Access 2007 features!
