Using Hyphens and Format Letters with Multiple Addresses

Using Hyphens and Format Letters with Multiple Addresses.

You use a hyphen when two or more words have the force of a single modifier before a noun. These are called compound adjectives. Another reason you would use a hyphen is when numbers are compounded with words and they have the force of a single modifier. Examples are :

• He is a 45-year-old male in critical condition.
• We work a 40-hour week.
• self-inflicted knife wound
• new-car salesman

When typing letters with multiple addresses you always type the first address return 2x and then you type the second address. This makes the letter look professional and clean. you can find ways to format this online.

How to Create a Macro. . .
September 7, 2013

Things you have to do to create a macro to make your work a lot easier and faster. Check out the steps below.

1. You will need to display your DEVELOPER tab if it is not currently displayed.  To do this, click FILE-under HELP click OPTIONS-click CUSTOMIZE RIBBON-under MAIN TABS click the box beside DEVELOPER and click OK. 
2. Click the DEVELOPER tab and click RECORD MACRO.  
3. In the Macro name box, type InsertLegalText.
4. In the Store macro in box, click All Documents (Normal.dot).
5. Click OK.  Recording now begins.
6. Type the following: Copyright XYZ Corporation. You may not modify, copy, or distribute any information contained in this document without our prior permission.
7. On the Recording toolbar, click STOP RECORDING.
8. Open another new Word document and, under the DEVELOPER tab click on MACROS. This displays the Macros dialog box.
9. In the Macros in list, click Normal.dot (global template).
10. In the Macro name list, click InsertLegalText, and then click Run. The text you typed in step 5 appears in the new document

Using a macro is a great way to input a signature to something so you do not have to re-type it every time you want to insert it into a document or even a date. I used my name and address so when I am sending out invitations to something all I have to do is go to the view tab again and click on view macros, pick the one you need to use and hit run, it will insert it for you. Using a macro save a lot of time when you are in a hurry to get a memo out to someone.

Smart Watches- Pebble Watch
http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/513376/smart-watches/

September 7, 2013

Eric Migicovsky came up with the idea for the Pebble smart watch about 5 years ago as an industrial-design student at Delft University if Technology in the Netherlands. He was looking for a way to use his smartphone without crashing his bike every time he pulled it out of his pocket. Eric created this watch to make things simpler when driving, running, or riding a bike.

Migicivsky is now shipping out about 85,000 Pebble watches to customers. This watch has Bluetooth capability so you can connect to any IPhone or Android to receive messages, alerts, and other data of the users choosing. When launching his campaign he had asked for $100,000 to help bring the watch to market and within five weeks he had more than $10 million. Making it the best Kickstarter campaign yet. Since the release of this watch Sony has came out with a smart watch, Samsung is bringing theirs out this year, and I am sure Apple will jump on also.

I posted this because I believe that this could be a better solution to having to get out phones all of the time. You can talk on the phone a lot easier also with this.
