Basic Computer Tips 19-20

19.  You can switch from one open program to the next by pressing Alt+Tab (Windows) or Command-Tab (Mac).


20. You generally can't send someone more than a couple of full-size digital photos as an e-mail attachment; those files are too big, and they'll bounce back to you. (Instead, use iPhone or Picasa--photo-organizing programs that can automatically scale down photos in the process of e-mailing them. Some email problems will ask you if you want to make the files smaller.)

Basic Computer Tips 17-18

17.  Google is also a units-of-measurement and currency converter. Type "teaspoons in 1.3 gallons," for example, or "euros in 17 dollars." Click Search to see the answer.


18.  You can open the Start menu by tapping the key with the Windows logo on it.

Basic Computer Tips 15-16 

15.  You can use Google to do math for you. Just type the equation, like 23*7+15/3=, and hit Enter.
Oh, yeah: on the computer, * means "times" and / means "divided by."


16. If you can't find some obvious command, like Delete in a photo program, try clicking using the right-side mouse button. (On the Mac, you can Control-click instead.)
 

 Basic Computer Tips 13-14

13. Forcing the camera's flash to go off prevents silhouetted, too-dark faces when you're outdoors.


14. When you're searching for something on the Web using, say, Google, put quotes around phrases that must be searched together. For example, if you put quotes around "electric curtains," Google won't waste your time finding one set of Web pages containing the word "electric" and another set containing the word "curtains."
 

 Basic Computer Tips 11-12

11. When you're filling in the boxes on a Web page (like City, State, Zip), you can press the Tab key to jump from box to box, rather than clicking. Add the Shift key to jump through the boxes backwards.


12.  You can adjust the size and position of any window on your computer. Drag the top strip to move it; drag the lower-right corner (Mac) or any edge (Windows) to resize it.
