Tech Tips for the Basic Computer User
You can double-click a word to highlight it
in any document, e-mail or Web page.
Nobody, but nobody, is going to give you
half of $80 million to help them liberate
the funds of a deceased millionaire…from
Nigeria or anywhere else.
You can enlarge the text on any Web page.
In Windows, press Ctrl and the plus or
minus keys (for bigger or smaller fonts);
on the Mac, it’s the Command key and
plus or minus.
You can also enlarge the entire Web page
or document by pressing the Control key
as you turn the wheel on top of your
mouse. On the Mac, this enlarges the
entire screen image.
On most cellphones, press the Send key to
open up a list of recent calls. Instead of
manually dialing, you can return a call by
highlighting one of these calls and
pressing Send again.
You can tap the Space bar to scroll down
on a Web page one screenful. Add the
Shift key to scroll back up.
Forcing the camera’s flash to go off
prevents silhouetted, too-dark faces when
you’re outdoors.
You can open the Start menu by tapping
the key with the Windows logo on it.
Whatever technology you buy today will
be obsolete soon, but you can avoid
heartache by learning the cycles. New
iPods come out every September. New
digital cameras come out in February and
October.
