Welcome To Marcy's Page Computer Tips

I am far from an expert but here are a few little shortcuts I've learned.

Did you know you can right click on the start button, and then a little menu pops up and you choose EXPLORE to go to a particular drive or folder...
(example: the Windows Tutorial on mine is in c:/windows discover windows 98)

To copy and paste:
Just hightlight the text that you want to copy, click the right mouse button and pick COPY. Now go to the area where you want to put it and right click again and choose PASTE.

To go quickly to the beginning or end of a line:
For instance if you typed this...'hte closet door is oppen' Then you would use the "Home" key to go to the beginning and change hte to the and use the "End" key to go to the end of the sentence and change oppen to open. I am not a good typist at all and I use this quite a bit :-)

This is a help when you're online:
To go quickly to the top of a page hit the "home" key or
To go quickly to the bottom of the page hit the "end" key.

Looking at a page and want to click on a link but afraid you won't be able to get back to the original page again? Just open the link in a new window - hold the mouse over the link (the "clickable" text or graphic) and click the right mouse button,choose Open In A New Window.That way when you are finished looking at it you can just close it and you will still have your original page.
All my pages SHOULD open in a new window by themselves

Want to send email to several people without them seeing each others email address? Just put your own address in the TO: field and all the rest in the BCC: (blind carbon copy) field with commas between them.

These two tips are for Windows XP but other versions should be similar.

Would you like to forward an email without all those addresses showing?
What I do is highlight just the stuff you want & copy that and paste it to MS Word. Go to edit on the bar along the top and click that and then click replace. Then on the Find box I put a > and the below where it says Replace with I just hit the space bar. Then hit Replace all. Voila. Then just copy & paste to a blank email.

To avoid pop-ups:
When you have your browser open go to Tools (along the top) then scroll down to Options and click that then Web Features and there will be a little box to check that says Block Pop-Up Windows.
