Use the Yahoo Chat Facility Inside of Yahoo E-Mail

admin — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 12:08:06 +0000

Most people when they think of Yahoo’s chat program, think of the full blown Yahoo Messenger application that you have to download and install in order to chat with other people on Yahoo (or Windows Live Messenger for that matter). But the fact is, if you have a Yahoo e-mail account, you already have access to Yahoo chat. To use Yahoo chat, log into your Yahoo e-mail program as you always do, then add someone you know to your Contacts list if you don’t have any already, by clicking on the little add menu choice: To talk to them on chat, the only piece of information you need about them is their login name; everything else is useful only for personal reasons

Use the New Screenshot Feature in Word 2010

Master — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 12:31:33 +0000

By now a lot of people know that Microsoft added the screen capture feature, “Snipping Tool” to Windows Vista and then improved upon that with Windows 7; what many people may not know however, is that Microsoft also added a screen capturing feature to Word 2010, called, appropriately enough, Screenshot . But recognizing that there was little point in simply reproducing what the Snipping Tool does, Microsoft made the Screenshot feature in Word behave differently.

Save Documents Directly to Windows Live SkyDrive using MS Word 2010

admin — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 12:23:21 +0000

Microsoft has made a lot of noise of late about the benefits of moving to the “cloud,” but hasn’t really done much in the way of showing users just exactly how to do so. One of the ways is by using Windows Live SkyDrive, which in reality is nothing more than an online storage facility that Microsoft has made available for free to anyone who signs up for a Windows Live account; which is also free – see another post Windows Live SkyDrive – 500 MB of secure online storage from Microsoft . To save a document you’ve created in Word 2010 to the SkyDrive, use Word’s Backstage Area via File : Click on it to reveal the backstage area: Look down past the usual menu choices to where it says Save & Send ; when you click on that, you’ll get: Next, click on Save to Web.

How To Build A PC: Setting Jumpers and First Boot

Master — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 11:00:50 +0000

Now that we’ve gotten all of the major parts and components installed for our custom PC build, there are a couple of final steps that need to be done before we can boot up the computer and start installing an operating system. Setting Jumpers The number of jumpers that you will need to set will depend on a couple of different factors, but usually, what type of case you decided to use for your build will play a major role. Most commonly, jumpers will need to be wired so that the power button on the front of the computer works, any case and activity lights work, and for front side USB ports, etc… Jumpers are a bit different than any other wiring we have done thus far, because jumpers are not clearly marked on the board and are more difficult to work with.

For web designers, graphic artists, CAD operators, layout animators, photographers and anyone who depends on the look of their screen, a PC’s gamma and RGB colors (red, green, and blue) can make or break an important project in their line of work. The RGB colors are the most important color-combination applied by various video-based technologies. You can sort out a picture’s RGB colors using a photo-editing program such as Adobe Photoshop, Snagit Editor, and Paint.net.
