Creating a simple list

Going through the 4th chapter of TestOut Labs, I realized that I had a habit of using the tab and backspace keys to format my bullet.  4.4.3 Bulleted and Numbered list, taught me the safest way to adjust my list indents is to use Increase Indents and Decrease Indents button.  Back then, I used to just tab then I would backspace because the bullets did not line up and I even used my space bar then tab just back and forth I did just that.  Microsoft Word has so many easy to use tools to create a simple list.

Today, I am more informed and as I go through more chapters of IS101-3003, I am confident that I can make a more decent document that will stand out with bulleted list from now on and in less time.  😎

Learning how to remove boring background from an image

Did you know you can insert a GIF into PowerPoint?  Well I didn't!  

For now though, let's talk about the button that lets you remove a dull or boring background from the image you want but don't be feeling the background kind of thing.  You just select the background image and then click on delete.  That's all it takes!  I can even add artistic effects to give my image a pop or a wow effect.  I also liked that I can add a text box to my image.  I find it useful but of course that's just my preference. 

I also found out that I can remove background from a photo which is worth it to include in your PowerPoint presentation.  But of course, that requires more knowledge and skills that one day I can accomplish, like adding 3D models.  😃

Clicking and dragging

I have been learning so much in IS101 that even the simplest as pinning favorite programs to the taskbar for quicker-easy access gives me a satisfying grin.  I used to just keep clicking on applications on the side of my screen if I would need a program to run or look for it.  Now I am just dragging applications to the start menu and taskbar like I have been a pro at it. This is super handy in case I have regular application/program that I want to open without having to search for it or scroll through the All Apps list. I like my new shortcut because its within easy reach. Right-click on a running program in the taskbar and selecting Pin to taskbar, or drag the application to the taskbar and viola! this pins the program to the taskbar.  

Yes! I am grinning right now at just thinking about how excited I was when I first pinned an application to the taskbar. I do wonder though, will it slow my computer down if I have too many icons in my taskbar?  Another question for another day.

Like a kid at a candy store

Who knew?  Certainly not I, about narrowing your searches using symbol operators to fine tune which keywords to have in my search like the - symbol to omit specific terms or + include specific keywords and doing this multiple times within a single search.  I feel like I have been doing my searches wrong this whole time!

I also just now been using the quotation (" ") marks to search whole phrases. I must have been living under a cave somewhere and now just 'like a kid at a candy store' I have lots of other tips and tricks to help me search better.  More candy please!
