Copy and Paste MS Excel Row Height

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

I have had many inquiries regarding this tip and it is such an easy thing to do!

To learn how to copy and paste row height in MS Excel, follow the steps below:

  1. Select the row you would like to copy.
  2. Click on the Format Painter icon on your Standard toolbar (or on the Home tab is you are using version 2007).
  3. You will now see a small paint brush.
  4. Simply drag it where you would like to copy the row height.

That’s all there is to it! You have now copied the format to your new row.

Creating Quick Notes with WordPad

Wednesday, February 4th, 2009

Some folks use note pads or Post Its to jot down quick notes to themselves and save them on their desk or stick them to their monitor.

Other folks, like the technologically savvy (geeks) use another alternative that doesn’t take them away from their computer. You may want to give this a try; it’s quite easy. The benefit is that creating scraps is just a click and drag session and you do not have to take the time to name and save a file!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

  1. Launch WordPad.
  2. Key in the text to create your note.
  3. Select (highlight) the text.
  4. Drag the selection and drop it on your desktop.
  5. Close WordPad and Click No when prompted to save changes.

Once you have dropped the selection onto your desktop, Windows XP recognizes the selection as an OLE (Object Linking and Embeding) object from WordPad and creates a scrap, complete with a special icon with a default title name of Scrap. You can always rename the scrap so that it is more intuitive for you.

When you want to view your note, just double-click it and WordPad will open it for you!
