Shortcuts
in Word
Use these
character formatting shortcuts to save retyping in Word. Take
the shortcut! Whether you need to change the case or switch formats,
it's easy with these Word shortcuts.
When preparing a Word
document for publication, you want to spend as little time retyping
as possible. Here are some shortcuts for reducing time spent editing
text.
As you edit your
document, you notice that all your headers are lowercase, when they
should be initial caps. To make that change, follow these
steps:
- Hold down [Ctrl] while selecting the
headers to be changed.
- Press [Shift][F3].
Pressing [Shift][F3]
twice converts the headers to all uppercase; pressing [F3] again
brings it back to lowercase. Alternatively, you can press
[Ctrl][Shift]A to convert a block of text to all caps, or press
[Ctrl][Shift]K to convert it to small caps.
Then, you spot that the
author has used the Underline button to underline selected text.
While the Underline button is convenient to use, it underlines an
entire selection, including the spaces between the words. If you
don't want the spaces underlined, follow these steps:
- Select the underlined text to be
changed.
- Press [Ctrl][Shift]W.
Anytime you want to
return characters to the default formats for the document template,
you don't need to go back and reformat the font. For example,
suppose you notice that reviewers have changed the font size and you
want to return it back to the style format. Follow these
steps:
- Select the text to be changed.
- Press [Ctrl][spacebar).

Time to Retire
Your IT Assets?
 Things to
consider when you are disposing of old equipment
Time to get rid of
outdated computers, monitors, printers and other IT equipment?
It's more complex than simply calling the local used computer
dealer or recycler and having them cart away your old
equipment. Databranch can help you safely dispose of old
equipment while eliminating the liabilities your company may
face if sensitive data falls into the wrong hands. In some
cases, we can turn the value of your old assets into money
that can be used toward the purchase of new equipment.
Most companies need
to be concerned about legislative compliance; risk management
and liability; environmentally-responsible recycling; and
consistent reporting across your organization. You also need
to ensure that your name is not linked with a security breach
or an incident of improper recycling.
Please consider the
following information when choosing how to dispose of your
aging assets.
Are you
protected against liability?
Depending on the nature of
the information stored on your company's hard drives, there
may be federally-mandated security requirements related to
Gramm-Leach-Bliley, HIPAA, or Sarbanes-Oxley that must be met
when you retire them. And naturally most data can be sensitive
in the wrong hands.
Unless information on hard drives is
safely managed and the drives are sanitized and/or destroyed
effectively, you could be exposed. For this reason it's
essential that we ensure hard drives are properly sanitized
and indemnify you against the risk associated with information
security and environmental recycling.
Will you receive
adequate handle tracking and reporting?
It's important
that you receive an audit trail for how an asset was
processed, which technicians handled it, and its final
disposition. Why? Because complete tracking information is
essential in the unlikely event that an asset is not handled
properly, and also provides clear documentation to prove
legislative compliance.
Databranch can
assist you in disposing of your old IT equipment, and in some
cases, trade old assets for money that can be used towards the
purchase of new equipment. If you have questions about this
process or if your company as old IT assets that need to be
properly disposed of, please contact sales@databranch.com or
716-373-4467. |
