Selecting Text on the web or with your word processor:
* Double click on a word to select it
* Click and drag in the margin of your word processor to select entire lines of text
If you have text that you need to select that spans multiple pages, then click once where you want to start selecting, then hold the shift key down and click your mouse after the last word you want to select.
If you have a letter or some other document you typed in Microsoft Word 97 or 2000, and you want to print it on a single page then this tip will save you some time and frustration.
Before I discovered this feature, I would adjust the margins, shrink the font and make other formatting changes to make my letters fit on one page. Thankfully, one of the more useful additions to Word 97 and Word 2000 is the ability to shrink a document to one page automatically. Here’s how.

1. Type and edit your document as normal
2. Click on File, then Print Preview
3. Click on the “shrink to fit” icon
Who is ‘Clippy’? He’s the little paper clip guy that pops up in Microsoft Word, Excel or any other Microsoft Office program in their 97 and 2000 versions. In the computer world, he appears to be like the Dallas Cowboys…people either love him or hate him.
If you are on the dislike side of the fence, follow this procedure to disable him once and for all:
1. RIGHT Click on Clippy
2. Click on Options (not Hide)
3. Uncheck the box that says “Use the Office Assistant”
4. Click OK
If you start to miss him, just click on Help from the menus and then click on Show Office Assistant
