See the Print When you go to print something, you probably go to File, Print, choose all of the settings you want and then click on the Print button to get the process going, am I right? Well, what if your print job is going to take a long time? You don't want to have to sit there and wait on it, do you? But then again, when you come back, wouldn't it be nice to be able to check the status of it? If that sounds good to you, there is a way to do it. Here's how! Once you click on the final Print button that gets everything going, an icon will appear in the bottom right hand corner of your taskbar (the same place where the clock icon sits). You can then double click on that icon to see the progress of your print job. The icon looks like this (only much smaller), depending on the kind of printer you happen to have:
Now, when you double click on the icon, you'll see such headings as the name of the document you're printing, its status, the number of pages it is, the size of it and when it was submitted. You can also use the icon to cancel or pause a printing job. To do that, just click on the Document menu and choose Pause, Cancel, Resume, etc. There's also a Help menu, just in case you run into any other problems. Check it out! ~ Erin You can't stop now!

Q: A: An easy fix to this problem is to display them right along with your browser. To do that, open Internet Explorer and go to the View menu, Explorer Bar. You'll see that you have the options of Search, Favorites, History, etc. to choose from. Go ahead and click on Favorites and a left side panel will appear right in your Web browser. You can then go and click on whichever Favorite you want to look at and you'll instantly be taken there! If you ever want to get rid of the panel, you can close it with the X located in the upper right corner. Or, if you'd like to show your History or have a Search bar, you can go back to the View menu and select either of those as well. You can only show one topic in the panel at a time though, so keep that in mind. You can also add and organize your Favorites while they're in the panel.
Now, if you use Firefox, you have Bookmarks saved instead of Favorites, but you can get the panel there as well. To do so, open Firefox and go to the View menu, Side Bar and click on Bookmarks. Your bookmarked sites will all appear in the left panel. You can also show your Web site history in Firefox. Pretty cool, huh? Give it a try today! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter?

An Alternate Picture Caption Method Yesterday, we looked at MS Word's captioning feature. It wasn't too bad and it's fairly easy to use, but I still found it annoying at times. I didn't like that I had to group them with their object in order to keep the two of them together when relocated. I also didn't like how I had to do some of the editing after the caption was created. So, I began to think a little more about the caption box. I mean, what is it besides a text box? Well, with the text box idea in mind, I began to experiment and was happy to come up with an alternative for captioning when using the text box as the basis.
I found I could format text as usual and I could even click on the picture and change its placement with something like a center justify. Formatting the text box itself works as usual too, including resizing, border lines, text wrapping around the box and so on. The key here is that by inserting an item and text into the same text box, they're automatically linked as a single item, with no extra work to make it happen. I'm sure there are other options out there, but since I stumbled across this one, I thought I'd share! ~ April

Thanks to everyone who ordered this software yesterday! Our sales were through the roof! If you missed your chance, you really gotta check this one out! I was braggin' about it in the office yesterday to everyone - it's just fantastic! Here's my take: WOW!! You Will Be Blown Away!!! The Bar Has Been Raised In Anti-Virus, Firewalls, And Anti-Spyware! Amazing Software Doesn't Slow You Down Super Smart AV Only Does Scans When YOU'RE Not Working! Outstanding New Firewall Locks Your Computer Down When You're Away! Hourly Updates! Unlimited Tech Support! Install On Up To 3 PCs! WOW! I can't wait to share this one with ya! We just scored an amazing deal on my new favorite software - Iolo System Shield! Let me tell ya, this is NOT your run-of-the-mill Internet Security Suite! This does an amazing job of keeping your computer safe from hackers, spyware, and viruses - but read on, because the way this is implemented is far superior to ANY software like this I've used in the past! This really isn't your typical security suite - and you're gonna love it! I am personally running this software on my computer and it's by far the best I've used! I can't tell you how impressed I am with this - if you value your safety - and system performance, you've got to check this out!
OK, first off, I know you're probably already running anti-virus, anti-spyware, and a firewall - so why do you want this? Well, the thing that impresses me the most with this software suite is the absolute speed it brings to the table! Not just in scanning and such, but the very real lack of system hogging it does. Most suites like this are horrible - they really slow your system to a crawl - not this one! I uninstalled all my previous security software and tired this instead - WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! Frankly, there's a good chance that if you're currently using Norton, Mcafee, ect, when you replace them with this you're going to think you got a new computer! The difference is THAT dramatic! This speed-up alone is enough reason to switch if you ask me! Next, I absolutely LOVE how this just runs in the background and stays out of the way. So many security programs love to tell you that they are updating your system, getting new virus definitions, scanning, whatever. It's an all day long affair of acknowledging boxes and virtually patting your software on the back, "Good boy - I'm glad you downloaded some updates!" Well, those annoyances are GONE with this - it just works in the background and updates itself when necessary without dozens of boxes telling you all about it - that alone was enough to make me switch! Of course, if it finds something serious, it'll let you know (all customizable too).
Oh, and let me tell you about the anti-virus - you're gonna love this! First, yes it keeps you safe from e-mail viruses, downloads, and monitors in the background - just like everyone's AV does. However, it's the little things that make you fall in love with this! First, don't you just HATE it when you're working on your computer and the stupid AV software comes up and starts a scan? Slows everything down - what a pain! This software will actually make sure the PC has been idle for a specified amount of time before it scans! It waits till you're away before it starts - is that cool or what??? Oh, and it pauses the scan if the PC starts getting used again! Again, this reason alone is enough to change! In fact, my wife read that and said, "Hey - I want this on my computer! My AV always starts scanning when I'm working!" So, one of my 3 installs is going there! In addition, the anti-virus can be set to scan all files or just dangerous ones (saving time), can be set to scan all kinds of files, has HOURLY updates, can be set to scan when YOU want, and can even be set to exclude certain types of files if you want! Even scan incoming AND outgoing messages if you want - all fully customizable! Oh, and did I mention that it has a year of UNLIMITED tech support too in case you have trouble? WOW!! Think that's great? Wait till you see the firewall! Blows Windows firewall away (along with every other firewall as far as I'm concerned)! First off, yes, it keeps hackers out - all firewalls do. But this also protects you in other ways. It can monitor when a program is trying to access the internet and send all your personal info to the mothership. That, to me, is HUGE! You never know if that program you just installed is completely trustworthy - so this keeps you safe!
Another fantastic idea that I'm really excited about is the "Idle Lock" - Get this - you can set it so that if you're not using the computer for a specified amount of time (set by you) that the network locks down - nothing can come in or out! I've always said the most secure internet connection is the one that's unplugged when not in use - and this does that!! Oh, and you can also lock your computer down with the press of a mouse if you like - right from the main page! This can also show you how many attacks it has blocked, block the attacker's IP address for a specified (by you) amount of time, and has a lot of fully customizable options. Truth is though, that the default settings work fine for me! Oh, and again, this seems like it doesn't slow anything down at all - in fact, if you're using a different firewall, this will probably speed things up! I know one thing for sure, I'm installing this on my laptop for travel - it's just too dangerous to surf using wireless networks without it! Finally, this also includes a fantastic anti-spyware program! Just like the rest of it, it's really fast, stays out of the way, and just does the job! It automatically updates and scanning is a breeze - and fast too! I don't think I've ever seen a spyware can that was soooo fast - and it did a great job! Found a few minor things that it easily fixed! OK, that's the main stuff, but I also wanted to mention how much easier to use this is than most other security software. First off, I think 90% of the users out there can just install it and forget it - the default settings are really a nice balance and should work well for just about every computer out there. If you want to change stuff, it's really easy to do and the program has an excellent help file that, quite frankly, most users will never ever need! The price? You're not going to believe this one - we're talking just $12.97 and US shipping is FREE! This is the current version and retails for $49.95 (check Iolo's site - it's not cheap), so $12.97 is an amazing deal. 1 Year worth of support and updates too! Oh, works on XP, Vista, & Win 2000! Oh, and get this - it's a 3 user license!! So you can install this on up to 3 different computers! That's way less than $5.00 per computer! Grab a friend or two and have them chip in! For less than $5.00 per computer, you just can't go wrong! It's amazing and it's what I am going to be running from now on! http://store.worldstart.com/product.php?productid=4583 PS - Seriously, this is simply the best Anti-virus, Anti-Spyware, and Firewall software I've ever used and it's going to be on my machine from now on. My computer is soooo much faster now after getting rid of the other bloated software package I had been using - and this just has soooo many great options! Don't miss out!
Taskbar vs. Toolbar So, tell me, how many of you get your taskbars and toolbars mixed up? We all use them everyday on our computers, but who has time to keep them straight? Am I right?

If you're not sure what makes a taskbar different from a toolbar, head on over to our homepage and read today's tip. It holds all the answers you seek. I promise!

Gmote I have a really cool free program for you today! It's called Gmote and it allows you to open and control your programs with simple mouse gestures. Here's an example of what Gmote can do. I set my Gmote program to open Internet Explorer. If I hold the right mouse button down and draw an "e" on my screen, Gmote will automatically open Internet Explorer and take me to my homepage. And that's just one thing you can use Gmote for! You can also use it to control your Windows Explorer options and your browser functions, such as back, forward, stop and refresh. I think Gmote is pretty awesome and it's so easy to use. After you've set up the controls you want, just tell it to run at startup and it will always be ready to go!
Extra tip: Make sure you click on the Options button to tell Gmote when to look for a command. You can set it to "listen" when you hold down the right mouse button, the middle button or a key on your keyboard. You can download Gmote for yourself right here. Enjoy! ~ Gary For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter.
