Auto Running Programs

i have found a way which will be useful for users who want their computer to automatically run certain programs as soon as they either startup or login in there computer which to do this you can do it two ways which you can go to "Start" then "All Programs" then you go on "Startup" then you click on "Startup Subs Menu" and copy a shortcut of any program you want to auto run when you login in or start up the computer and it will run.
here is the website that i have found to do this.
http://ask-leo.com/auto_start_how_do_i_run_a_program_automatically_when_windows_starts.html

the other way is to to "right click" on "Start" then click on "Explore" then click on the "Programs" folder then open the "Startup" folder and copy any shortcuts of the programs you want into this folder.

Excel 2003 Printing Tutuorial



If you are having problems with how to print using Excel 2003 then here is a tutorial that i recommend you use its only about 30-40 mintues of your time but its worth listening to, it is a very helpful tutorial if you don't know what you are doing, or how to do something involving printing. here are some of the things it talks to you about: how to use print preview to see what you're about to print, fit more column's onto the page when you are trying to print, add repeating column or row titles to each printed page and also to add page numbers, the date or text in headers and footers.

Here is the website you will be able to get this tutorial on:

the other ways that bob could present his presentation to the meeting without having to print anything out from the printer are:
  • Power point presentation
  • using a smartboard to deliver the presentation
  • Email
  • Getting the people in the meeting to gather around one computer

The other communication routes you could use are you could record a podcast for the meeting so people can give full concentration on what you are saying on it and they can write their notes while listening and they could also go back to a pasrt in the podcast if they needed to or pause it when they are making notes so they don't miss any of the podcast but the disadvantage to this is that you can't ask any questions unless you email them but in most cases you won't get an immediate response, another way he could communicate is through video confrencing so you can see the person and his expressions and also unlike the podcast's you will be able to ask questions which your be able to get an immediate response from the person.

here is another knowledge database i would recommend you use for Microsoft Excel 2003 printing tutorials it goes through all the basic's of printing in Excel
