Tips On Choosing A CRM Solution

To jump to any slide during a presentation with a keyboard shortcut: Type the number of the slide you want to display and then press [Enter].

To switch from another active tool to the Select Objects tool: Click on the Select Objects tool button on the Drawing toolbar.

To spruce up your lines and connectors with pattern or dash styles: Select your line or connector and choose Format | AutoShape from the menu bar. Click on the Colors And Lines tab in the Format AutoShape dialog box, and then change your color and thickness using the Color and Weight dropdown lists in the Line panel. Next, to apply a pattern style to your line or connector, choose Patterned Lines from the Color dropdown list, and click on the pattern you wish to use in the Patterned Lines dialog box. Then, choose a secondary color using the Background dropdown list, and click OK to return to the Format AutoShape dialog box. Note that you can’t use both a pattern and a dash style. To see the results of your choices, click the Preview button. Click OK to keep your changes and exit the Format AutoShape dialog box.

To draw onscreen during a presentation with PowerPoint’s pen: You can access an online pen by pressing [Ctrl]P ([command]P on the Mac). If you want to return the mouse pointer to an arrow, press [Ctrl]A ([command]A on the Mac). Be aware, however, that trying to write text with the online pen is a skill that only a select few have mastered!

To change your chart data without using the datasheet: Click on the data marker that you want to modify, pause briefly, and then click on it again. (This is different than a double-click, which results in the Format Data Series dialog box launching.) When you do, a Series Point handle appears at the top of the data marker. Drag the handle up or down to change the value that the marker represents. If you later open the datasheet, you’ll notice that
PowerPoint resets the value in the corresponding cell to reflect the size of the new data marker in the chart.

To receive audience feedback with an email hyperlink on a kiosk slide): Create a text box or a button that reads “Click here to email me your comments.” Then, with your text box or button selected on your slide, press [Ctrl]K ([command]K on the Mac) to launch the Insert Hyperlink dialog box. Next, if you’re using PowerPoint 2000/20001/2002,click on E-mail Address in the Link To panel (click on the Email Address tab on the Mac). Enter your own email address in the E-mail Address text box (the To text box on the Mac),type a message subject into the Subject text box (not necessary), and then click OK. If you’re using PowerPoint 97, type mailto: in the Link To File Or URL text box, and then enter your email address immediately following it (no spaces). Next, type ?subject=, and then enter the subject message you want to use (again without any spaces between any of the items).Click OK to exit the dialog box.

To reorder your slides within Slide Sorter view or the Outline pane: Click the Slide Sorter view button. Now, simply select a thumbnail image of a slide you want to move and drag it to a new location in the slide show. You can also move slides in the Outline window in Slide or Normal view (except in PowerPoint 97). Simply click the Slide View or Normal View button to display the Outline window. Then, click on the slide you want to move in the Outline window and drag it to a new location. With either method, all of your slide numbers, hyperlinks, slide associations, and transitions should automatically be adjusted and updated behind the scenes to accommodate the move.

To move and edit text on your slide with ease (PowerPoint 97/2000/2001/2002): To make sure this option is turned on, choose Tools | Option (Edit | Preferences on the Mac) and then click on the Edit tab. Select the Drag And Drop Text Editing option if it isn’t already selected, and then click OK. Now, you can drag and drop text anywhere on your slide. To dothis, simply highlight the text you want to move. Then, click on the highlighted text, hold down your left mouse button, drag the text where you want it to appear, and let go of the mouse button.

To resize slide objects with more precision (PowerPoint 97/2000/2001/2002): To resize an object with a center anchor point (so that all sides shrink or expand from the object’s center), hold down [Ctrl] ([option] on the Mac) as you drag an editing handle. To resize an object while maintaining its original proportions, hold down [Shift] as you drag one of the object’s corner editing handles. (You can also hold down both these keys as you drag a corner editing handle to resize an object from its center while maintaining its proportions.)

To add or remove buttons to customize your toolbars: To remove a toolbar button, hold down the [Alt] key ([command] key on the Mac), click on the button, drag it off the toolbar, and then Continue Reading »

Let?s get a quick Canon Fodder definition out of the way.

sport ? A game or competition between two or more willing opponents where each side has the ability and opportunity to react and impact the other?s actions. The final result should leave no room for judgment or interpretation.

You won?t find this definition in Webster?s. It?s completely my own creation. Most fans probably won?t agree with my terminology, but I feel it makes more sense than the terms we as fans often toss about without consideration.

I?m a fan of sports. Baseball. Football. Hockey. Basketball. Tennis. Curling. Chess. Sports one and all.

Golf? Bowling? Figure skating? Gymnastics? Entertaining and difficult to master, but non-sports across the board.

So now you?re sitting there digesting my seemingly preposterous few lines of blather and thinking, this guy is nuts. Tiger Woods is clearly an athlete but doesn?t play a sport? What about all those Olympians we trot out every four years? Surely they are all athletes.

Well, yes. There are plenty of folks considered athletes that don?t actually play a sport. (Check out Canon Fodder for a definition of an athlete.)

I think the best way to approach this is to look at games we don?t consider sports and work forward. Let?s start with something involving a certain measure of skill and can be performed competitively, but lacks the qualities of a sport. Take juggling. It?s definitely a skill. With practice, one could become an extraordinary juggler. A person could ?challenge? Continue Reading »

Watch Live Football from Your PC

Just heard on the radio that the Houston Rockets have contacted the Los Angeles Lakers and are very interested in a trade for Kobe Bryant. I don’t have a lot of details but the trade would probably include Kobe and Vlad for Tracy McGrady (T-Mac), Bonzi Wells and Battier or something similar.

The radio station I heard this was 790 The Sports Animal, and it was around 12:00 on Thursday, October 25, 2007.
