If you have been following along with this review of Office 2013 you know that today is Excel Part 2. So we will jump in now. The next most impressive feature to me is the new Excel start screen. When you start up Excel, on the left side you will find your most recently opened…
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."

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…

I receive questions about those goofy, hard to read letters which are found on many websites from time-to-time. They are known as “Captchas.” Yes, a nonsensical word, unless you are a geek. It actually stands for the word, “capture.” Now that you just repeated them both in your mind, you are nodding – you get…

I have used it extensively for about two years. I bought it to replace a worn out Microsoft Wireless 3000, with the big USB receiver shown below…
Last time we discussed Portable Applications for your windows computers. There are several great things about portable programs. One being they are independent which means they stand alone. For instance, when installing them you select only one folder. Once installed, you will find that program and all of its related files in that folder. This…
This column was brought about by a group of us geeks discussing the current Windows operating systems.
