A couple of weeks ago, my coworker Sandra was using the Windows 10 calculator like usual. However, she decided to click the menu in the upper left corner, and was amazed at all the options she never knew about. I too was suitably amazed, and thought this would make a great tip… here’s just a sampling of what it can do…
Saved For Later web part for SharePoint Online
If you’re like me, you tend to “bookmark” a lot of things to save for later. Of course, whether you actually get back to reading them is a different matter… The Saved For Later web part is a great way to flag content for later reading, and have it displayed back to you in an easy to read manner. Here’s how it works…
Outlook on the Web now has type-ahead suggestions
If you use a personal email client like Gmail, you’re probably used to seeing suggested wording appear as you’re typing away. Now Outlook on the Web has the same type-ahead suggestion feature! Here’s what it looks like…
Contextual search in Microsoft Teams using CTRL-F
Being able to find certain words in a document using CTRL-F is one of the most useful features in applications like Word. That same ability now makes its appearance in Microsoft Teams. Here’s how it works…

Suggested Replies for Outlook on the Web
If you’re used to using an email application like Gmail, you’ve likely seen (and used) the Suggested Replies feature, where short one-click answers are provided to speed up your email processing. Outlook on the Web now has that same feature, and it’s pretty cool. Here’s how it works…
Adding your own background images for Microsoft Teams meetings
Recently Microsoft Teams offered a standard set of background images for your Microsoft Teams meetings. You *could* add your own images, but it was more of a hack and wasn’t something you’d necessarily want to advertise. Now, there’s an easy way to do this, and here’s how it works…
Audience Targeting in SharePoint Online navigation links
One of the latest changes to show up for SharePoint Online is the ability to have audience targeting apply to specific links in your navigation in Modern sites and pages. This means that you can have certain navigational links show up only to specific groups of people who are part of an Active Directory group. Here’s how it works…
