Guess what I learned to do?
I learned how to make Macros in Word.
(Well duh there Cupcake, where have YOU been?)
Oh you know, paying the bills, cooking, cleaning, shopping, gardening, writing novels…..all things in the non-geeky world, that sort of thing.
But really, I only learned about them from a co-worker last summer who used them on her computer. She had a pop up screen that she could choose phrases from. I don't have that, but I wrote some HTML tags in the Macro thingy and now I can change fonts easily in my diary.
Although I can’t use my really whacky ones unless I want to take a “picture” of them my youngest son tells me. But hey I might even try that!
The standard Windows fonts are not that exciting, but at least it’s a change.
I have been consulting with my paper shredder this morning. I had a BUNCH of checks to shred since we opened a new checking account and then I started in on the pile of junk mail that I had been saving up for just such a day as this and shredded all those lovely credit card applications … “You are Pre-Approved!” …. Along with the lovely blank checks that they send for your debt convenience. As soon as these people hear that some other credit card company is making money off you, they want a piece of the action. “Send us money too! We want your money too! Please, please, please???”
I find those blank checks particularly insidious. I am sure that every day, some confused or elderly or maybe not so bright person runs to the bank and cashes one or two of those things and a month later is stunned, indignant, and confused when they get a bill. Those things should be illegal.
Anyhoo, that’s about it around here for the day.
Now it’s time to hit Crtl-W for the little orange bar.
Voila !
