CCI Tech Tip Tuesdays

Ctrl+Z (or Command+Z on the Mac) is the best way to undo the last thing you did on many programs - the last thing you typed in Outlook, Word, and gmail, the last cell you edited in Excel, the photo you accidentally deleted from your document, and more. And if you accidentally press Ctrl+Z and want to redo the thing that just got undone, you can always hit Ctrl+Y (Command+Y on the Mac).

Sometimes in Word you want to put a bunch of text into a table.  It already has spaces, or tabs, or commas, organizing the text the way you want it but you don't want to have to retype everything into rows and columns.  Or you have a table in a Word document and you want to remove the text from the table. In Word you can use the Convert-text-to-table function, or the Convert-table-to-text function to quickly and easily create or get rid of a table. Learn more here.

When you view your files in a folder, sometimes you see a long list when you were hoping to see photo thumbnails so you can easily look for a particular photo. Other times, you see large icons but need a list so you can quickly look for your file.  You can easily change how you view the files in your folder by clicking on the View tab, and selecting a different option (large and medium icons will show you thumbnails of your photos.) If you want, you can change the defaults as well for different types of folders.  Learn how here. You can also do this on a Mac.
