I go to many coffee shops, restaurants and other businesses which offer free Wi-Fi for their customers. And yes, sometimes the food is not my favorite and the coffee not the best. However, since I am a geek and like to have the Wi-Fi I visit and use their establishments anyway. Throughout time I have…
I received several emails last week after my final Office 2013 article. They asked if I would use it or not. They wanted to know what I really thought, so this should be the absolutely, positively last Office 2013 column. I am also including a reminder about Microsoft Internet Explorer. Office 2013 has several revamped…
Today is the wrap-up of Office 2013. Thanks for all of the positive emails you sent about this series of articles.

Jennifer reminded me I should…

Before we start on Excel 2013 today, please accept my apology. Last week when describing "collapsing headings" in Word 2013 I stated, "…when you hover over that created section a small triangle appears to the right of the text." That should actually be the "to the left of the text." Thanks to the users who…
Thanks for the emails showing your interest in the new Microsoft Office. We will look into it some more today. Last week we looked at the “Read Mode” and PDF conversion as well as editing options in Word 2013. Today we will look at some other features which are new to Word. Another new feature…
So I made the plunge recently and moved to Microsoft’s latest Office version which is blandly, yet I guess appropriately named "Office 2013." So far my evaluation leans toward… "Yawn." It performs as well as the previous version in most areas I have checked, looks a little different, saves to the cloud a little easier, …
I have always been a big fan, supporter, promoter, etc. of Google. That is until recently and here is why they are starting to work their way off of my radar.
