I created these notes for a customer who just moved to Windows 7 from Windows XP. He had many documents and spreadsheets saved from an old Microsoft Works (4.0) that we needed to convert to Microsoft Office since buying newer versions of Microsoft Works is not easy. Click here to view, save, or print the notes I generated for this… Read More »Converting Microsoft Works to Microsoft Office – Notes
These notes were generated for a customer using an older HP All-in-one printer. He needed to learn how to scan documents, save them, then attach them to his Yahoo email. For folks learning how to scan or attach items to Yahoo email, these notes will help.
These notes were created while sitting with a customer who uses a MacBook and was learning how to use his Gmail account. You can find all of these tips in my other Gmail tips, but here’s what I left for him. Here is a PDF Version of Gmail Notes pictured.

This my last installment in my Zoho.com tour, but far from the full capabilities of Zoho. So far I’ve introduced you to Zoho Writer (word processing application) and Zoho Sheet (spreadsheet application). For Part III in my series, I’m giving you a quick tour and demonstration/instruction on how to create a database with Zoho. Zoho has two database applications; one called Creator and the other called Database and Reports. I focused on the Creator application in my video tour.
Database programs offer the most flexibility and ease of use for collecting data on any subject from a book collection, to a club member address list, to tracking expenses for your home or business. Once you learn a few techniques with database design and creation, I’m willing to bet you will leave the lowly spreadsheet behind for gathering this type of data.
Zoho’s database application provides, in my opinion, unparalleled ease of use AND power for both the beginner database user and the advanced user. I strongly encourage anyone ever remotely interested in database collection or anyone who hasn’t been able to find the perfect data collection program to give Zoho Creator a try after watching my short video below.
Some of Zoho’s database features include:
Watch the short video below to see how far online applications from Zoho.com can take you.

With Gmail, it is possible to setup a separate signature for different email addresses (which not many people do with Gmail), but not… Read More »How to use multiple signatures in Gmail without add-ons or tweaks – Video Tip
