Shortcuts For Everyone!

Quite often people ask for a list of the most commonly used keyboard shortcuts to use on their computer.  Well, you asked and we deliver.  Below you will find all the new and fun things you can quickly accomplish by using the "Ctrl" key on your keyboard.  There are many more shortcuts but we figured this is a good way to get started.

Ctrl + A = selecting ALL the text in the area your cursor is placed.  This is a nice tool for changing fonts in documents without missing random words or sentences.

Ctrl + C = copy text you have already highlighted.

Ctrl + X = cut text that you have already highlighted.

Ctrl + V = paste the text you've already cut or copied in the area your cursor is currently placed.

Ctrl + B = bolding the text you have already highlighted.  Come on, draw a little attention to it.

Ctrl + I = italicizing the text you have already highlighted.
 
Ctrl + U =underline the text you have already highlighted.
 
Ctrl + Z = undo what you just did.

Last, but not least, is one of my favorites.  This one is a great little helper for those who don't want to read an entire webpage or document to find what they're looking for.

Ctrl + F= opens a find/search box in the window your working in.  All you do is type in a word or two of what your looking for and bingo, there it is, located and highlighted for you.  How's that for speed reading? 

Computer Virus Finds A Door.
Are You Letting It In?

FYI to those surfing the Web.  There is a new computer virus traveling the internet that has found a doorway into your computer with the stroke of one key.  Beware if you're prompted to strike the F1 key while visiting any website.  The F1 key is normally used to start the Windows Help function, but this new attacker has found a way to sneak in and infect your computer when this key is pressed.  So remember, if asked to press F1 while online, DON'T DO IT, your opening the doorway to having a sick computer on your hands.  The one piece of good news is that this particular virus does not effect computers running Windows Vista.  But still, be cautious as to what you're letting in.
