all computers in existence.

========================================
Please
remember Windows 8.1 is 88% Windows 7.
These
items will be the same in Windows 7 and Windows
8.
1. Printing Options: Portrait, Landscape, Two-sided, print black
or color only, Print Last Page First.
2. Folder Options: Single or Double Click, Show all folders,
Display or Hide different files or folders. Make new folders. Show File
extensions like .doc or .jpg.
3. Default Programs, which programs open which File extensions
.doc
.jpg etc…
4. OneDrive, Save some Files and Folders there, save space on your hard
drive. Create a link and whoever you send the link, can open the File or
Folder. Great idea if you can use it. I love it.
In Windows
7 it is Windows Explorer In Windows 8.1 it is named File Explorer
And contains
all your files and folders and drives. From
here you can Copy, cut, create, delete, find, move, save, shortcut, zip and
unzip Files.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Suggestions for your new Windows 8.1 laptop:
----------------------------------
Q. How do I know if I have a 32 bit or 64 bit Windows?
A. Start, Control Panel, System.
(It also tells you Processor chip speed and amount of RAM.)
32 bit is like a 4 lane highway carrying
data, 64 bit is like an 8 lane highway carrying
twice as much data.
----------------------------------
Q. How do I add to the Send To
menu.
A. Click the Start button and type shell:sendto in the search box, hit Enter. Click on File, New, Shortcut. Browse until you
find the program and click on it.
----------------------------------
SNIPPING TOOL
(greatest thing since sliced bread)
No matter where you are, Internet, word document, email you can draw
a rectangle around what you want and save it as a .jpg file.
----------------------------------------
Are you getting what
you pay for? Check your Internet Speed.

From
Bill Rauth: SLIDES FOUND AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS...
The
pictures are so clear and the color is so vibrant, it looks as though they were
taken just yesterday.
--------------------------------
From
WorldStart:
Windows 8.1 is really
confusing me. Can you explain what: an App is and do I really need it? Can I
compute casually with APP?
An app is simply a program.
Microsoft likes to mess with our minds.
--------------------------------
Q. Hi, I haven't been able to open the newsletter. I've never
had trouble before, What do I need to do. I love getting these,
they are very helpful
Thanks,
A. I have done nothing differently, maybe your file association is
off.
Can you open other .doc files? I assume you have Microsoft
Office.
Any way you can:
1. Go to: http://www.ckcs.org/joetips.pdf
and click on any date. All my emails are
here.
2. If you need a free Word Processor.
LibreOffice is similar to Office 2003 and install, run, and save files on
the local hard drive. CNET gives LibreOffice 5 stars.
Thank you Joe,
I was able to get it on the site you sent me.
Thank you so much for all you do for so many people
(Thank you so much for the kind words. It means so much to me.)
--------------------------------
Q. We recently purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1
operating system. We could use some training and or
guidance Windows 8.1 along with guidance and training in
Photo Gallery. Thank you for your helpful assistance.
A. Go to Control Panel and do Windows Update.
For Windows 8.1 TIPS go to:
