 | Mouse Battery Power Here's a quickie for you! In the past, I have talked about waking up sleeping mice. I told you that if you leave your wireless mouse alone for more than eight minutes, it will be sleeping when you come back. The reason they go into the sleep mode is to save some battery life, which, of course, is very helpful. Well, there are a couple other things you can do to save the battery life of your wireless mouse as well. Let's check them out! There is one practice that may not be too practical for everyone, but if you're able, you can always try it. I'm talking about using your mouse as little as possible. If you know several keyboard shortcuts, you should use them! (Or, at least use as many as you can). The less you click your mouse, the more battery life you will save. Of course, that isn't completely necessary, because a mouse is obviously intended to be used, but if you're able to give your mouse a break every once in awhile, it won't hurt a thing. I know keyboard shortcuts are hard to learn and it's even harder to remember all of them, so another thing you can do is keep your mouse on a white piece of paper or a highly reflective surface while it's resting. That will help conserve some of the battery power too. Now, go on and give your mouse a break when you can. I promise, it will thank you in the end! ~ Erin Don't stop now!

So order now before our supply is gone :-( Q: A: Well, you might as well get comfy, because it looks like you're going to be there for a long time. Unfortunately, Hotmail does not provide you with the means to change your e-mail address on a whim. The one you have is the one you're stuck with until you either create a whole new account or change e-mail providers. Now, I know when you first created your Hotmail account, you probably did it so fast, you weren't even thinking about what you really wanted your address to be. Either that or the name you did want was already taken. And while it seems a little unfair to have the same address forever, Hotmail has to do what they have to do. Since everyone has to have a different e-mail address, Hotmail can only allow one name per person. Otherwise, everyone would be changing their e-mail address on a regular basis and they would run out of options for new users. I know there are several combinations you can use to create an e-mail address, but if every single Hotmail user in the world changed their address even once, new users wouldn't have much to choose from. And that's why Hotmail has to lay down some guidelines for you to follow. Now, like I said before, there is one way around this. If you want to take the time to create a whole new Hotmail account, you can change your e-mail address. But, before you go and do that, allow me to take you through the process. First of all, you have to click on the Sign Up button on Hotmail's homepage, which will lead you through the beginnings of creating a new account. You can then select your new address. And to that, I say good luck! You may not be able to use your first choice and it might be a little difficult to find an alternative you like that hasn't already been used. Once you finally find a new name, you then have to create a new password, a new secret question and you have to provide an alternate e-mail address where your password can be sent if you ever happen to forget it. After all that, your new account will be created and you can then start to use it. But remember, your old e-mail address still exists as well. Because of that, you'll have to go in and transfer all your contacts, all your saved e-mails, you'll have to tell all your friends and family that your address has changed and you'll have to update all the services you use online with your new address. Plus, you have to go through the hassle of deleting your old account, which can take some time as well. Wow, that sounds like a lot of work to me! As you can see, changing your Hotmail account may not be worth it. And just for your information, the same goes for any free e-mail account, such as Yahoo!, Gmail, etc. It applies to several paid services as well. So, if you desperately want to change your e-mail address, you can go ahead and do so, but you better make sure it's one you'll want to keep for a very long time. Otherwise, you might as well just stick with the one you have! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below: Two For One The other day, a reader sent in a question about printing a MS Word document at half the size. It seems he had a document containing a picture that was frequently printed. Since it didn't have to be full size, he was hoping to easily have Word print two of the same thing on a single page, rotating the duplicate pages to sit side by side in a landscape on the paper so that it still retained its proportions. The thought was that printing two on one page would save on ink and paper. Is it possible to accomplish that without so much frustration, it drives you crazy? I'm happy to report the answer is yes, so give this a try!
Word will automatically take both pages of the document and print them side by side and in the landscape format on the paper. (In case you're wondering, I tried using two copies with the "2 pages per sheet" setting, but it simply printed the page really small on two pieces of paper. So, yes, to the best of my knowledge, you do need to duplicate the page in the first step). Problem solved! ~ April Cook Like You Mean It- All With The Help Of Betty Crocker!
