Wahoo's Computer & Internet Tips Newsletter - February 2007In The News This Month... Anyways, spring is coming next month, or so I hope. I'm done with the whole winter thing; long nights, short days, snow, cold, wind, boots, layers of clothing, gloves, toques, etc. I want to see the sun again! Who's with me? Well that's enough small talk. Let's get down to it. This month I have included 2 articles for your reading enjoyment. First one is called MS Word Tip: Convert Text to a Table and the second one is called Windows XP Tip: Get Your Thumbnails In a Row. Hope you enjoy them! That's that. Thanks for reading! Did You Know...?Antarctica is the only land on our planet that is not owned by any country. Ninety percent of the world's ice covers Antarctica. This ice also represents seventy percent of all the fresh water in the world. As strange as it sounds, however, Antarctica is essentially a desert. The average yearly total precipitation is about two inches. Although covered with ice (all but 0.4% of it), Antarctica is the driest place on the planet, with an absolute humidity lower than the Gobi desert. MS Word Tip: Convert Text To A TableWord includes a function that lets you convert text into table format. For example, if you have a list of words you think would be better displayed in a table format, you can tell Word to put the text into a table for you. You need to decide how to separate the text into columns. In other words, you need to tell Word where to separate the text. This can be done using paragraphs, commas, tabs, or other characters. For example, if you select commas, Word will place text in a new column or row after each comma. To convert text into table format: Word will automatically put the text into table format using the criteria you specified. Windows XP Tip: Get Your Thumbnails In A RowFor folders that contain only a small number of graphics files, Windows XP offers Filmstrip view, which, despite its name, has nothing to do with video. Choose View, Filmstrip to display a preview of the selected file at the top of the right Explorer pane, along with thumbnails of the other files in the folder in a strip running along the bottom of the right pane. Below the previewed image are slideshow forward and backward buttons, and two buttons that rotate the image left and right. Be forewarned: the rotation buttons actually open and save the file permanently in its rotated state. This is less important if you're using an uncompressed format such as .bmp (bitmap) or a loss-less compression format such as .gif. But rotating .jpg or other files with "lossy" compression will reduce the quality of the file with each rotation. If you don't see the Filmstrip option in the View menu, choose View, Customize This Folder, click the Customize tab, select Photo Album in the drop-down list at the top, and click OK.
