Works in Microsoft PowerPoint versions 2000 and 2003
If you've taken any presentation training, you've probably heard this:
Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em.
Tell 'em.
Tell 'em what you told 'em.
One way to "Tell 'em what you're going to tell 'em" is to have an overview slide at the beginning of your presentation.
PowerPoint offers a quick way to create a slide that contains the headings from all of the slides in your presentation.
* Make sure your outlining toolbar is visible.
Click on the View menu, Select Toolbars, then Outlining.
* Select the slides whose titles you want to use in your outline. In slide sorter bar, which is usually on the left hand side of your screen, select the first slide. Hold down the SHIFT key as you select the last slide. If you need to select non-adjacent slides, use the CTRL key instead.
On the Outlining toolbar, click the Summary Slide icon.
A new slide, with bulleted titles from the selected slides, appears in front of the first slide in your selection.
Excel Tip: Making things Bigger
If you're looking at a spreadsheet, and the text is just too small, here's a quick way to magnify your spreadsheet.
Go to the File menu, and click Page Setup.
Make sure the Page tab is highlighted.

In my case, I changed the adjust to amount to 150%.
Click the Print Preview button to make sure all looks well, and print.

MS Word Tip for Article Marketers.
Works with Microsoft Word 2000 and 2003
Writing articles is an excellent way to boost your search engine position. (For additional information on article writing as a SEO strategy, see my class Using eMarketing to Grow your Business.)
Whether you submit your articles to print or online publishers, a publisher will usually give you a word count limit.
Here are a couple of ways to count the number of words in your document.
The traditional way.
Go to your Tools Menu, and click on WordCount.
This works great, however, wouldn't it be more helpful to have that word count right in your document, so you could easily see it as you're working on the document?
Here's another way to update your word count, frankly, it's the method I prefer.
Click the Insert menu, and choose Field.
When the dialog box pops up, select the NUMWORDS code. This box shows the MS Word 2003 version, Word 2000 is slightly different.
This pops a field into your document that shows the number of words in your document.
Here's the key to making this work -- make sure the code is at the bottom of your document. You'll soon see why this is important.
Whenever you want to update the number of words in your document, put your cursor anywhere in the field and hit F9. Since the NUMWORDS field is the last item in your document, you're always only a couple of keystrokes away.
