Learning new Microsoft Office tricks in "just a minute"
With the amount of work we do on a daily basis, it’s often hard to remember just exactly where you updated or changed information. You know you did it in the last couple of days, but you can’t specifically remember where it was done.

Haven’t you wished at times that your computer could just read a Word document to you so you could… “multi-task” while getting the document content? Or, in a more realistic scenario, you have vision issues and having the document read to you would be more accessible? Actually, there *is* a way to make that happen. Here’s how…
In today’s attention-deficit world, you sometimes need to take an extra step to make things pop in a presentation. In today’s tip, I share how to fill text in a PowerPoint slide with pictures for that extra bit of pizazz…
