Dear Bentsen Grove Friends. Wanted you all to know how very much I’ve enjoyed the past seven years here at the park and especially having made the acquaintances of all of my good friends in the Computer Club. Jan and I leave with heavy hearts, but in the interest of health, it is a necessary move. We both thank you sincerely for the kind going away gift you presented to us. We’ll keep you in our thoughts as we hope you’ll do also. Wishing you all the very best in the coming years. Again, Thank You! George and Jan Kelly |

A View From The Stool By Val Barron Untimely Departure George Kelly, one of the founding
fathers of our club has found it necessary to “retire” to his home in Old Business-Ctrl K In
the Ctrl
K is a shortcut that is useful for imbedding links in newsletters and e-mail
that you create in Microsoft Word. The usual way to include a
link is the way I often do in our bulletin like this. “For interesting news
site go to http://www.cnn.com/.” And
this works perfectly well for a short URL. But sometimes URLs can be very
long, like the following link to a Harvard Business site. http://harvardbusinessonline.hbsp.harvard.edu/b01/en/home/index.jhtml ;jsessionid=RDQTXPQGXXOQACTEQENR5VQKMSARUIPS?_requestid=13287. URLs
of this length and even longer are very awkward to include in e-mails or in
on-line publications and don’t always work well. Using Ctrl K I could
put it in an e-mail like this. “I find Harvard
Business Online to be a useful site.” This imbeds the long URL into the
words Harvard Business Online and your reader will know that is a
clickable link because it is blue and underlined. How
is this done? First you must compose your message in Microsoft Word. Then
with your browser, go to the web page to be linked and copy the URL from the
address bar. Now return to MSWord and select (highlight) the word or words
that you would like to be the clickable link as I did Harvard Business Online
above. Next click Ctrl K and a dialog box will
pop up. Paste the URL from the clipboard into the Web Page Name window
and click OK. The words will now turn blue indicating that the
URL has been imbedded. When complete, you put this in your e-mail as you
normally would; either File-Send To, or copy and paste. Try this, it is easy
and interesting. More Old Business-Boot I
received a call from Joe Strüb about the Boot Vis tip in the early October 2002 Bulletin.
Joe asked how to use this feature. I could not find my original information
but did have a couple of sites with the information. For these sites, go to: http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/tune-19.html
or http://xptips.tripod.com/bootvis.html. Happy computing, Val valbarron@att.net
