Sorting in Excel

I use Excel on a regular basis and I think that it can be a useful tool in many situations. Very often you might want to out a list of names in your Excel document in an alphabetical order. You can always copy the list from other Microsoft documents like Word that do not have a sorting feature. Here it is how you can sort in Excel:

1. Select the cells that you would like to sort. Do not forget about the cells that are attached to cells that you wish to sort.
2. From the top menu bar select Data and then Sort from the list that has just appeared.
3. Here choose by what categories you want to sort (name, last name, city, zip code etc.).
4. Choose whether your list has a header row or does not have it.
5. Select OK to save the changes.

Keeping your Excel document organized is very important and sorting is one way to achieve that. All of my Excel documents are sorted in one way or another.

Internet on Mobile Devices

If you are reading this website, then it means that you are connected to the Internet and you probably realize how useful the Internet can be. Recently there have been many mobile devices being released that allow access to the Internet. While mobile devices do not have as large screen as a typical computer monitor, it is still possible on many devices to browse websites. Being able to connect to the Internet on the go can be very useful and there are many people out there that take advantage of it and use it to check their email, read news, or even visit social networking sites. More and more websites have a version that can be accessed via mobile devices and it is safe to safe that this trend will continue.

Kids are Attracted to the Internet

Some kids are attracted to the Internet mostly because their parents oppose their online presence. I know at least a few kids who would do anything to make their parents angry and who would visit the Internet despite the fact that they are not supposed to do so. Of course, I do not approve of such behavior, but kids are just kids and I guess not that much can be done about it. Their parents need to learn how to cope with the problem and they need to realize what steps they need to take in order to have bigger control over everything their children do when spending time online.

Surfing the Web

Ten or twenty years ago surfing the Web was not as nearly as popular as it is right now. Each year there is a growing number of people who have access to the Internet. Recently it is quite popular for people to access Internet from their mobile devices. Mobile phones, iPads, and similar devices offer convenient access to the Internet on the go. This means that people can have Internet access whenever they go. That is good news for all bloggers as this means that there are more and more people out there who might visit your blog. It seems like a great time to start a blog.

How Long Does It Take To Pay One’s Debt

The reason I choose to write about debts so often is that I believe that many folks out there could use some info related to the topic. If you are in debt, and you are likely to be, you can probably relate.

I remember how I once discovered after talking to one of my female friends at work that she had no idea how long it was going to pay her all her debts. I have to admit that I wouldn’t be able to live without knowing how long exactly it would take me to become debt free. I believe that I know how to be aware of how long it will take to pay a debt. A debt calculator is something that I usually do in case I want to figure out how long will it still take me to pay off my debt. It always works in my case.

Which ATM To Use

There is this one ATM that is located where I shop for groceries regularly. You might be thinking that I use it to withdraw my money, but this is not the case. I used to do it in the past until I discovered that it does not benefit me in any way.

The reason not all ATMs are good places to withdraw your money from your bank account is because you can encounter ATM charges. You only should withdraw money from such ATMs that will not charge you anything for it. Next time you want to check if your ATM will charge you, try to figure it out by looking at the information you can find around you. You might even want to ask your bank about it and see what they will tell you on the subject.

Flash and Presentations

Adobe Flash is a multimedia platform used to add animation and videos to webpages, but you can also add Flash to your PowerPoint presentations. In order to make your PowerPoint presentations even more attractive and enjoyable, you can insert flash movies into it. Here it is how you can do it:

1. Open your PowerPoint presentation and go to View in the upper menu bar.
2. Now, click on Toolbars and choose the option Control Toolbox.
3. After clicking on Control Toolbox click on an icon that looks like a hammer to see more options.
4. Choose Shockwave Flash Object.
5. With your mouse draw a small box where you would like to out your Flash movie. Right click no it and choose Properties.
6. Go to Alphabetic and then go to Movie.
7. In the same column you will see an option Playing. Set It to true. Do the same to EmbedMovie.

After exiting Properties and saving your presentation you will be able to enjoy your embedded flash movie. Flash movies can definitely enhance the quality of your presentation so it may be a good idea to take advantage of that.

How To Clean a CD-ROM

If you are like me, you still use CD-ROMs on a regular basis. You may know that if a CD-ROM is not clean, then it might cause a lot of problems accessing data. If you have inserted your CD in the CD drive and you keep getting messages that tell you that there is no disc or your CD takes a long time to read, it all means that your CD-ROM needs some good cleaning. There are special tools used to effectively clean the CD drive. They are called laser lens cleaner discs and need to be used if something goes wrong with your Cd drive.

If you want to use a laser lens cleaner, make sure that there is no CD in your CD-ROM. Use laser lens cleaner to clean the drive lens. Insert the laser lens cleaner disc and play it for a few minutes. If after this your CD drive still causes problems, use a small piece of cloth or a cotton swab to clean the lens. Be careful while doing it so that you do not damage any hardware.

Pictures and Presentations

A picture is worth a thousand words. If you are creating a presentation, such as a PowerPoint presentation, then you should not forget about that. Naturally PowerPoint offers many ways to enrich our presentations with pictures. There are two places from which you can take your picture in order to insert it: Clip Art or any file stored on your disk. If you wish to insert an image from Clip Art, follow these steps:

-First, make sure that you are in a slide where you want to insert a picture. Go to the Insert menu and select there Picture. Next select Clip Art and watch how a dialog box pops up. Choose a clip and insert it.

-Alternatively you can insert a picture from Clip Art By going to drawing tool bar and clicking on Insert Clip Art button. Next, select the category of your picture and then your picture that you wish to insert. Right click on it and from the scrolling menu select Insert command.

A picture is worth a thousand words, so it is important to know how to use pictures effectively to convey your message, especially when it comes to PowerPoint presentations. Never estimate the value of pictures.

Silver

Silver holdings and investing has been quite controversial in America. Most people might know the story of how America went off the gold standard and they might associate this story with gold and silver. Many believe going off the gold standard caused over flow of cash, which made holding cash not a wise investment. Many people lost their fortunes very fast and they might not have been even completely aware of what is going on. A person who owns silver bullion and silver ingots is in a completely different situation, and I would like to discuss this matter further in my next post.
