"Believe In Me"
I am so excited to share with you a beautiful song that was written for a Young Women's girl's camp. The theme for camp was "Believe In Me". You can listen to it by going to the following page, as well as download the sheet music for it -- FREE OF COURSE!
I want to thank Kerry Haack for helping me, by being an editor for this site. At this time she is just trying to go back through all the pages I have and see if they need some help (which I am sure they will). She is only editing the text on the website not the files!
The following are tips and suggestions that I use or have found helpful, so I thought I would share them with others. Maybe nothing will help or maybe something will help! But I have had a lot of people ask different things, so I thought I would share some of the "little" bit that I do know! Trust me -- it is a little bit!
Of course open the page/file you want to print to a poster size. In the PDF window, click the print button. In the next window click Properties. Then click the tab that says Page Setup. Then in that window, look for where it says Printing type. Use the drop down window and change it to Poster Printing, then click ok --- ok again. Make sure you have the paper you want already loaded (colored paper, card stock, etc.). That should do it!
ONE THING: This does not work on all printers; you have to have a printer that will print posters, banners, etc.
My thoughts on printer ink and printing in color:
I wanted to give you a little food for thought. As you will be able to see, I love COLOR. When I make flyers, newsletters, or invitations I print everything in color. I would rather have things done, than have to run down to the copy center or wait until Sunday morning and make copies. However, I know a lot of people say, "color cartridges are too expensive." Well I say, "It does not have to be."
You can buy ink cartridges for so much cheaper online than if you buy them at Costco or anywhere else. For example, I was buying mine at Sam's Club. I paid about $40.00 for one Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow cartridge, so that was basically 10.00 a cartridge. Now I pay anywhere from $3.10 - 4.25 a cartridge depending on how many I buy. A lot of times shipping is free, or it is small enough that you are still paying less. I buy my ink from: MARLBOROUGH SUPPLIES FOR PRINTERS, COPIERS AND FAX MACHINES.
Another thing: The next time you are buying a printer, buy one that has 4 separate tanks, meaning don't buy one that has just black and color cartridges. If you print something in color and it has mainly yellow in it, you will run out of the yellow ink a lot faster. Your color cartridge will need to be replaced, because you will be out of yellow, but you might still have a ton of the other colors. If you buy a printer with separate tanks then you only replace the color you need.
Also, just because your printer says you are "out of ink", it may really not be. I can easily get another 100 pages out of a cartridge that says it is out of ink; just click the refresh button on your printer and keep on printing!
Overtyping In many programs, pressing the insert key turns on an "overtype mode". In this mode, what you type replaces the text in the document instead of pushing it over.
The insert key is a toggle key, which means that pressing it once turns it on. Pressing it again turns it off.
Excel Viewer
A lot of people do not have Excel, but they get things sent to them, and can not open them, or they try to open some things on the Internet that are in Excel, and can't. BUT, you can download an Excel Viewer, which will allow you to open any Excel file. You can view it and print from it, but can not edit it! To get this download Click Here.
Larger Fonts on Web Pages

Close That Window
Have you ever found yourself on the Internet when suddenly a full screen advertisement pops up and you can't find the X to close it? I hate it when a website tries to trap me with a full screen page with no visible way to close the page. With this tip, you won't be stuck again. Simply click once on the offending page, then hold down the "Alt" key on your keyboard and press the "F4" key. This will close the window that you just clicked on. To help you remember, just write Alt+F4 on a sticky note and stick it on your monitor.
Send a Quick Picture
When you see a graphic on the Website that you must send to a friend right away press CTRL+ M, then drag and drop the graphic. This immediately opens a New Message Composition window. Now grab the image and drop it into the message body. That’s it -- address and send the message as you would normally.
Back to Desktop
Want to quickly get back to the desktop when you have multiple windows open?
Just press the Windows key on your keyboard and the letter D.
The Windows key is on the bottom row of your keyboard between the Ctrl and Alt keys. It has the Windows symbol on it.
To bring the windows back up to the way they were before, just press the same key combination again.
Favorites in Alphabetical Order for XP
You can put your Internet Explorer favorites in alphabetical order in Windows XP the same way you can in Windows 98 and ME.
Open Internet Explorer.
Click on Favorites in the menu bar. (This will not work if you use Favorites in the toolbar.)
When your list of favorites drops down from the menu bar, right click on any one of the shortcuts and then click Sort by Name.
Bookmark Quickly
A fast way to add a web page to your favorites, or bookmarks (depending on what browser you use) is to hold down the CTRL key and press the D key once. Go ahead and give it a try. This page should now be in your Favorites!
Free Thesaurus and Dictionary
One of the free software programs that I use quite often is WordWeb. It is a nice little dictionary program. I used it to figure out the correct spelling of several words in this weeks issue. WordWeb has definitions, synonyms, related words and if you want, it will install an icon of itself in MS Word.
I just keep a shortcut for WordWeb in my Quick Launch Toolbar where it is always handy when I need it.
