It is a beautiful spring day where I live as I write this. The day started out with some rain but now the sun is shining and the birds are singing. Tonight there will be another peeper symphony outside my window. All of the trees have leaf buds on them and the flowering trees are starting to bloom. I love looking out and seeng the daffodils and lilies of the valley in bloom.
I love this time of year! I live in the country and it's always a surprise when Spring arrives because you never know what will be blooming - the birds drop seeds everywhere! A shower just started but the sun is still shining!
Let's get to the tips now!

Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Click on Tools.
- Select AutoCorrect Options.
- Select the AutoFormat tab.
- Uncheck whatever you do not want MS Word to do for your automatically.
Piece of cake huh?
Hide a Table Grid in MS Word
This is so simple you will wish that you had thought of it first! For whatever reason, sometime you may want to hide the table grid in your document from prying eyes.
Follow the steps below to learn how:
- Select your table.
- Right-click and select Borders and Shading.
- Select None.
You can also change the borders on the Design tab in Table Tools if you are using MS Word 2007.
Move to the End of A Long Column in MS Excel Quickly
This is one of those little tips that most folks aren't aware of but are ever so grateful for the knowledge once they have learned it. Why??? Because it saves time and keystrokes of course!
To jump to the bottom of a very long column, simply select a cell in the column and double-click the top or bottom edge of the cell.
In a nanosecond you will be at the bottom of the data in that column, regardless of whether its 12,000 rows long!
To return to the top of your data, click the edge of the cell. Clicking the left or right edge of the cell works in the same manner for going across rows.
