Managing the
“Autos” in MS
Office
I can’t count the
number of times I
have begun a list
in a Word document
by typing “1,”
only to look up to
find that my 1 is
now indented by a
quarter inch and
the text by a half
inch, which was
not what I
wanted. I was
experiencing the
frustration
sometimes caused
by a feature of
Microsoft Office
programs called
AutoCorrect.
First, let me say
that I am a big
fan of the
automatic editing
and formatting
concept.

Buying a New
Computer

Things to Think
About Part 2
Last month we
discussed
manufacturers,
laptop vs.
desktop, and
looked at the
CPU. Now it’s
time to think
about a few more
things. Let’s
look at a laptop
first because
there aren’t as

Back to Basics

Is Your Computer
Running Slower?
If your computer
is over two years
old, have you
noticed that it is
taking longer to
turn on (or
“boot-up” as they
say in computerese)?
Do programs take
longer to run
too? Are you
getting lots of
“pop-up” windows
asking about
things that you
don’t know
anything about?
Well, it is
normal for a
computer to slow
up with age and
show some other
symptoms of not
being as quick as
it was when it was
new. The reasons
for this are many.
