Microsoft Publisher
 
 
Ever looked under Microsoft Office and wondered what exactly you would ever use "Publisher" for? I have!
 
 
I learned a very neat feature of just how Publisher can be beneficial this week; I learned how to make a profession logo and save it as a pnf file.
 

The logo above was actually quite simple to make (approximately 5 minutes).
 
You simply:
 
1) Open a blank page in microsoft publisher.
 
 
2) Insert a clip art ( I searched a clip art relating
to "dental").
 
3) Then, you just add a Word Art using what ever
name of phrase you prefer.
 
4) Highlight the both images, right click "group",
and then save your work.
 
You will now have a logo save as a pnf file (picture file).
 
 
Pretty easy, right? Have fun creating your own logo for your
own business, or just for the fun of it!

Microsoft Word: Sort Feature

How to Use the Sort Feature
 
 
When it comes to using Microsoft Office 2007, the features and advantages of the program are endless. A feature I find extremely useful is the "Sort Feature". By following these few simple steps one will easily be able to sort any type of list in ascending or descending order:
 
 
     1.) Select the paragraphs or lines that you wish to put in order.





     2.) On the HOME tab, hoover in the Paragraph and click the Sort button.





     3.) Under the Sort by box click Paragraphs; in the Type box, click Text; and then click Ascending or Descending (depending on which you prefer). Click OK.



Your list is now perfectly placed in ascending or descending order.

The Great Pilgramige of Millions

       VS

TV is “crack.” This is what some people say; and there’s proof. “The average American spends 20 percent of their time each day” watching TV, according to a research group. Of this number, 5 percent are broadband internet users. A growing number are internet TV users.

A growing number of cable TV viewers are cancelling their "membership" for various reasons. Among these reasons are that cable prices tend to soar higher than internet TV prices, cable TV has less options to choose from what a person may want to watch, and a person can utilize their internet service for a number of reasons other than just watching TV. This has resulted in a growing number of people changing the way they view TV by switching from the "boob-tube" (traditional cable TV) to YouTube or other internet TV outlets.

For example, YouTube’s original channels have reached new heights in viewership since Google has been funding and promoting YouTube’s channels to advertisers since 2011. Netflix viewership had seen 1 billion hours of watched TV in June of 2012. The biggest viewership ever in the company’s history. The growing demographic of cable TV users switching to internet only TV viewing grow at a yearly rate. There’s a good reason, too. PC World declares that you can save big bucks by “cutting” the cable cord and simply watch internet TV at a much lower cost- like free.
