Selecting a Large Area of Data in Excel

Posted by: Mannie on: March 15 2013 • Categorized in: Excel,Office 2007,Office 2010,Office 2013

Selecting a large range in Excel by dragging the mouse can be difficult.

Try using the SHIFT key when you select a range that extends beyond what is displayed on your screen.  You can do this two ways:

  1. Click into the cell in the upper left corner of the range.
  2. Click into the Name Box and type the cell in the lower right corner of the range.
    Excel Name Box
  3. Press SHIFT + Enter.
  4. Excel will select the entire range.

As an alternative, you can start by clicking into the upper left corner of the range, then hold down the SHIFT key, while clicking into the cell in the low

er right corner of the range.

Supressing Blank Lines in a Word 2007 Mail Merge

Posted by: Administrator on: January 11 2008 • Categorized in: Office 2007,Word
  • In earlier versions of Word, you were easily able to suppress the blank lines in a mail merge. In Word 2007, it does not seem to automatically do this.Say for example, you have a data file with Address 1, Address 2, and Address 3. When you add the fields to your merge document, they look something like this:

    «Address 1»
    «Address 2»
    «Address 3»
    «City», «State» «Zip»

    Create and Publish Blog Postings from Word 2007

    Posted by: Mannie on: May 15 2007 • Categorized in: Office 2007,Word

    Microsoft Word 2007 lets you create blog postings and publish them directly from Word. (Actually, I’m doing it right now!) Using Word is generally easier than most blogging software, which requires users to edit HTML code.

    To create a blog posting from Word:

    1. Click the Office button.
    2. Select New, select New blog post, and then click the Create button (lower right corner).
    3. Click the Register Now button in the dialog, and then select your Blog provider from the drop-down list.
    4. Enter the appropriate information into the New Blogger Account dialog box.
    5. Click the Picture Options button if you want to select a picture provider from the drop-down list.
      (If you don’t use a picture provider, select None-Don’t Upload Pictures.)
    6. Type your blog posting, and click the Publish button on the Ribbon to publish it to the blog. (When you publish, Word will prompt you for your Username and Password.)

    File Formats: New vs. Old

    Posted by: Administrator on: May 15 2007 • Categorized in: Office 2007

    By default, Office 2007 saves files in new XML-based formats. Word uses the .docx and .docm extensions. Docx files do not support macros, while docm files are macro-enabled. Presumably, this is to cut down on the number of viruses aimed at Word documents.

    Similarly, Excel uses the .xlsx and .xlsm extensions, and PowerPoint uses the .pptx and .pptm extensions. Access has also changed its file format to an XML-based format, using the .accdb extension.

    However, the new formats are not backward-compatible. Therefore, people using any older versions of Office will not be able to open files saved in the new formats. Since it will be some time before a majority of users have Office 2007, we recommend saving files in the old formats if you intend to distribute them to other users.

    To save an Office 2007 file in an older format:

    1. Click the Office button.
    2. Select Save As.
    3. At the bottom of the dialog box, under Save as type:, select Word 97-2003 Document (*.doc).

    Office 2007 now lets you save any document, presentation or spreadsheet as a PDF (without having to purchase Adobe Acrobat). However, you have to download a plug-in to add this functionality.
