I am a college student who is pursing computer science and who also working at a medical device company. You would think that I'm a good speller and at least know how to cross my "t" and dot my "i"s. Well, I apologize but that is not my strong suit. I am a terrible speller. I think some of my old post may show that. How do I handle this? I rely a lot on spell check but I have found out that in Gmail, my browser, and even Microsoft Office, all give me different results for each misspelled word. Many times I have not been able to correct my misspelled word. I rely on another tool. This tool has access to any of the data on the information superhighway or Internet. Google! To find the correct spelling I copy and paste my misspelled word into Google and out pops out the correct word. In addition, this shows you how powerful Google is.
Have you been on Sparknotes and tried to copy over to Microsoft Word just text and it did not copy over just right? Over with it came some ads, some indention's, and tables. You really didn't want that. You just want the text without the format. I have been in that position so many times. Here is the solution, Instead of copying (CTRL + C) directly from the web to Word try copying from the web to Notepad. then paste (CTRL + V) to Word. You will be format free and just have the text and you may do the formatting.
Microsoft has launched Office online! Instead of Microsoft Office on your desktop it will also be online at Office.live.com. You only need to have a Hotmail or Live account. You can access Word, Powerpoint, Excel and Onenote. It very easy, instead of carrying a flashdrive it will be online. Also, in serves as a backup! Good Idea!
