Useful Computer Tips & Tricks

Over the last few weeks, I've been posting some useful technology tips on my social networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn). If you are not a member of these sites, don't worry! You won't miss out. Most of these tips are actually questions I've received from my clients and I'd like to share them with you! TIP #1: (This first tip is a general one, but very important to remember!) Don't forget to look at the entire screen when trying to find what you want. It's easy to lose focus of the 'bigger picture'. Learn to train your eyes to take hold of ALL options! TIP #2 (Internet): Have you ever been looking for a specific word or group of words on a webpage, but can't find it amidst the paragraphs of text that fill up your browser's screen? Press and hold the CTRL key (or Command if you're on a Mac) and press the letter F. This will bring up a search box where you can type a particular word to find. The word will show up highlighted within the text on the page. This also works within other programs as well! TIP #3 (iPhone/iPad): When typing a website or email address (within Safari or the Mail app), if you want to enter a domain name ending other than ".com", hold your finger down on the ".com" and select the domain name ending you want instead. Inspirational Tip: Don't be frustrated with making mistakes on the computer. It's the best way to learn!
