I'm learning new tricks Excel
Comments (14)Congrats on learning Excel. It's almost a never ending process though once you've got the basics down it becomes much more understandable. I took quite a number of Excel course levels prior to my retiring and I always enjoyed them. I had one spreadsheet that was so detailed and interconnected to hundreds of pages of data and hidden macros I was always afraid to let anyone touch it in case they ruined something LOL Therefore the biggest TIP... always always always hit the SAVE button every once in awhile as you work just in case. AND when you're done ALWAYS make a duplicate copy of the whole spreadsheet and keep it in a file under your name separate from the main file, just in case. Nothing worse than finding your work lost or wrecked. But being smart you have "your backup" LOL Regarding keeping genealogy/historical data I'm thinking that Excel isn't exactly the best program for that. Microsoft Access is more geared to sorting, sifting and printing documentary data whereas Excel is more for numerical data. The better part of Access is that data entry is much simpler, you create a "form" with fill in the blanks and just type away the name, date, birthplace, year, etc and it magically compiles it all for retrieval however you want it. With Excel you have to go filling in all those little boxes on the spreadsheet. I highly recommend taking the MS Access course as well....See MoreLearn a new trick
Comments (23)Several number combinations will give the degree symbol as Phyllis pointed out. Another way is to use HTML: For degree, enter "& deg ;" without the space or the quotes and you should get ð For the copyright symbol, enter "& copy;" without the space or the quotes and you should get é For trademark symbol, enter "& trade;" without the space or the quotes and you should get ⢠Also, if you're using a notebook without the keypad, you have the numbers on the keyboard, usually in the corner of the key on the center keys, either red or blue. That way you can still utilize the keypad features. I bought a USB keypad to add on since I use the keypad for so many things, and often use it for entering any number rather than the top row of keys. Just a little more trivia for ya!...See MoreI learned a new (to me) trick

Comments (15)For me, the rug works with the table and chairs as well as the cabin feel. The colors work with the oriental rug, and oriental rugs seem to be used as formal or neutral elements. I think the trick would be making sure you have some simple lines and rustic elements in the LR (your leather chairs are in that group) and maybe a couple of traditional or softer elements in the DR. Your chair fabric could be a bridge, but also a china or crystal bowl on the table instead of a wood one or a basket. If you don't go with the tribal rug, I like 2 and 3 in your blue group and 2 in the gold and red group. The wood has enough warmth than I wouldn't be looking to add more red....See Moremaifleur01
