For my iMac, I simply pull the courser over what I want and darken it, on top toolbar choose EDIT and then choose "Copy" and then go to the side of the screen where TextEdit lives and open it, then go back to EDIT and choose "Paste".
Then you can either print it from there or edit it any way you want. Or click on the top red dot and it will ask you if you want to save it, and what name. It will go to whatever place you want to save it. |
If you need to applique letters, try out different fonts/sizes in Word. You can adjust the size beyond the maximum by highlighting the size and typing in a larger number. For example, many go up to 72. I've done 120. There are sites where you can download free fonts if you want something more decorative than what is on your computer.

Yep, this is a great time saver. To add to it - if you want to select and copy an entire page or document, use 'Ctrl A'. |

Here is a tip...if you get calls on your cell phone and do not know who it is...you can go to this site http://www22.verizon.com/utilities/reverselookup - type in the number it will give you the address of the owner than go to google map and type in the address and it will show you the location and a picture of the building or house of that address,

instead of typing
www.quiltingboard.com into the address bar, just type the middle part (quiltingboard), hit CTRL and ENTer, it fills in the www. and the .com. Only works on com, not org or net |
Also, to get rid of what is in the address bar, hit Alt and D, it deletes it.

nice tips, keep them coming we are always learning new things
