Sort ToDo List in Microsoft Outlook

For some reason it took me awhile to figure out how to properly alpha-sort the list under the To-Do Bar in Microsoft Outlook. This is what you  have to do:



Right click on "Arranged By:" at top of list.

Select: Custom > Sort > Subject (ascending) be sure to select NO when asked: "The field "Subject" that you want to sort by is not shown in the view. Do you want to show it?"

Easy Instructions for setting Gymboss Timer

This is how I set up the Gymboss to simply beep every 30 seconds. (You can modify of course.)



All buttons are labeled on the device: NEXT and CHANGE across the top, START on the side.



Here's the Setup (note if there are no inputs for 20 seconds timer will exit setup):

1. Push CHANGE 


2. You'll see the word SETUP in the screen


3. Push NEXT


4. Push CHANGE until you see only 1 set of Times in the window.


5. Push NEXT


6. Push CHANGE to change the first digit of the time (00:00)


7. Push NEXT and CHANGE again to move through all 4 digits (I like 00:30)


8. Push NEXT


9. Push CHANGE to set to 00 (timer goes off every X seconds until you stop it or 99 times max)


10. Push CHANGE to set the timer to BH for High Beep sound (or BL low beep, V vibrate)


11. Push NEXT


12. Push CHANGE for 1 (1 second alarm duration

To STOP the timer, hold the START button for 3 seconds

To PAUSE the timer, push START 3 times within 2 seconds.

Dropbox - Quick Start Guide & Tips

Welcome to Dropbox!

Unlike other
programs, Dropbox doesn't have a complicated interface to learn. It's built
right into your desktop!  Here's how to
get started:

Step 1:  Drag and drop any file or folder into your
Dropbox folder.

Step 2:  Once your file/folder is inside your Dropbox
folder, the program immediately starts syncing it to our secure servers.  Once this has finished, the file's icon is
marked with a green check.  Your file is
now safely backed up online and also accessible from the Dropbox website.
(http://www.getdropbox.com)

Step 3:  Install Dropbox
(http://www.getdropbox.com/install) on other computers you use, and they'll
also receive a copy of the files you've put in your Dropbox.

That's it!    Now that Dropbox is watching your file, any
changes you make will sync up instantly and automatically.  This gives you the freedom to work on any
computer you choose. For more help adding files to Dropbox, see here:

Happy Dropboxing!

Digital-QA Note: You
can also access your files online from anywhere!

Save a PDF File

Once you find a .pdf file to save, you may notice there is no "right-click" or save option available in the Toolbar. If you have Adobe reader installed (which you likely do if you are looking at a .pdf), you'll find that if you hover your cursor over the lower center part of the screen, you'll see several options, and one of them is Save!



It looks like this (but you'll only see it if you hover):





















You can also click that icon on the far right and it will bring up the standard Adobe toolbar framing the .pdf file with even more options.



(CTRL + SHIFT + S works too)



Sweet! I always seem to forget this...
