How to Make a Cover Sheet

Making A Fax Cover Sheet

 

In any job position you have you will always need a cover sheet to fax information. The cover sheet gives all of the information someone would need to know before looking at the fax. It will usually show when it is from, the time it was faxed, the person it is coming from, and what/who it is in regards to. If for some reason you get a fax that does not belong to your office contact the person who sent the fax asap and let them know that they sent it to the wrong person, this should stop any information about a patient getting out to the wrong person. You always need the cover sheet also to protect you against HIPAA laws. The way I made my cover sheet was I went into Publisher 2013 and picked a template and just added my information and saved it. This is the simplest way to make a cover sheet.

Shortcuts In Word

I have found that since I have started working in an office and I am on the computer a lot I like to use a lot of shortcuts also. I have a few that I use everyday and then I have some that I use just on occasion but do help me a lot. When you look below you will see the shortcuts I use the most often and like the best:

 

• CTRL+P- Which will bring up your print screen when you are ready to print a document rather than making 10 different clicks with a mouse.

• CTRL+C- To copy any information that I would need to paste in another area of the document or on another document.

• CTRL+V- To paste the object that I have just copied.

• CTRL+A - To select the whole document that you are on.

• CTRL+Z- To undo your last action that you had done.

International Formatting

International Formatting

 

For my International Formatting lesson I chose Lesson 83 which was France. I chose France because I was still very similar the United States formatting. The main difference I saw was that they use codes called the IDD ( International Direct Dialing) code. When using this you dial the IDD first, then you dial the country code for the country you want to call. After that you dial the area code if there is one, then the telephone number, which if you ask me is a lot of numbers just to call someone. I think another interesting concept about France and how they do their phone numbers is instead of inserting a hyphen between the area code and the phone number they use decimals, this is not that complicated.

 

The dates they use are the same as the United Sates they are just changed around in the sequence for example: today is October 11, 2013 ( in France it is 11 October 2013).

 

France seems to me like it has the most simple and closest way of formatting things to the U.S. than any of the other countries and it would not be hard to adjust to this type of formatting.

 

Below is an example of what the IDD looks like. You can also visit http://www.idd.com.au/telephone-country-codes.php and find all of the IDD codes for each country.

 

 

Centering a Table in Microsoft Word (horizontally and vertically)

*Centering Tables in Word*

 

I have always tried to center tables in Word and could never figure it out until now, it is rather simple. When you are creating a table some people will do it differently than others and that is ok, I go ahead and insert my table and get it filled in correctly with all of my information that I may need in it. Next I go to table layout tab and select table properties. Once this opens on the first tab called table I go down and select center and select OK at the bottom of the open property table, to center horizontally. Next you go over to the file tab and select print, after you do that at the bottom of all of the print options is something that says Page Setup. Once you have selected this there will be another page come up and you will select the layout tab and use the dropdown box that has: top, bottom, center, and justified; picking center because this is what we are doing. After you have done this you can go back to your document and it will be centered horizontally and vertically.
