Now to use any of these, you just hold down the [ALT] button and while holding it down, type in the number shown next to the symbol of your choice below. So if I want to make a musical note, I'd hold down the [ALT] key and while it is depressed (physically, not mentally), type in the number 14. BUT, and this is important, you can't use the keys above the keyboard. You need the keys in the 'number pad' to the right of your letters. I hope that makes sense!!!
And then... if you ever need to edit a photo or take out the 'red eye' on a photo.... and if you're not at home with your normal photo editor programs? You can access this one ONLINE! It works pretty good, too! Try out PIXENATE when you just gotta get that picture fixed!
Do you ever want to change a font color, but don't like the choices? Well, here's a great color spectrum for you at VISIBONE.com. You can actually just insert the NUMBER instead of selecting from the 'few' color choices you're given. I love it!
I know, I was rather "boring" today, huh? I'm sorry. BUT these are some great tools to add to your collection! I have used these SOOOOO much over the last ten years or so! Just thought you might like to have them too. =0)
Enjoy!
These are great! Will need to try sometime soon!

ReplyDeleteNOT boring at all...these are awesome tips...thanks for sharing, you just might see some coming to a blog near you...very soon.
ReplyDeleteThis is not boring in the least! I enjoy getting all of these helpful computer hints especially since I am fairly clueless about such things. Thanks Erica. I'm back from vacation now, so I'll be reading your blog(s) again. :-)
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you.
I am a bit dizzy, now!
ReplyDeleteLove ya anyway...lol!!
I couldn't get the html chart to enlarge...it might just be this computer, though. I'll try again when I get home.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips!
♫ to my ears since it's very ☼ here in NC today and I'm staying inside reading blogs! These tips made me ☺ and feel like a ♀. I hope that was the sign for woman ♥
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! Those are great tips. Thanks so much Erica! I agree with Mimi about doing some HTML posts now! You are so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info Erica!!
ReplyDeleteooo thanks for the cheat sheet. I have always wondered how people did those! ☺
ReplyDeleteI too am fond of the alt codes! And I don't think it was boring-I love getting new info!
ReplyDeleteJen
Wow, great tips! :D I'm going to have to print out the cheat sheet.
ReplyDeleteI always wondered how people did those cute little smileys and music notes!! Thanks for the chart!
ReplyDeleteOh how fun, thank you! I will have to print that out.
ReplyDeleteI used to be able to underline in my post by doing pressing the "control" and "U" keys but now everytime I do that, I get some strange html script or something. So I can't underline anymore.
So, as you can see I am clueless about this stuff, which you knew already!
♥The imPerfect Housewife♥ thinks this is so fun she can't stand it and I know that because I'm her! I always wanted to know how they make those little hearts and when I ask, I guess they think I'm being cutsie or something but I REALLY did want to learn!!! ♥THANK YOU♥ Boy, are you gonna be sorry you taught me that because know why? I just ♥ it! I'll teach you a trick now (seriously): If the print on a page is too small to read, hold the control button down and scroll using that scroller in the middle of the mouse. It'll make the print bigger or smaller. :) Have a great Monday!
ReplyDeleteWow these are really great tips. I have to work on teh code chart thing to understand it. I'm not the brightest crayon in the box. =)
ReplyDeleteGreat tricks. I have to check out that pixenate.
ReplyDeleteErica!!! LOL ☺ I bet I don't forget which symbol is which anymore with the "tip" you left as a way of remembering. That was classic!

ReplyDeleteThanks Erica, obviously I'm behind the times, didn't work for me though because I've got a lousy laptop with side numbers =(! Thanks for the other tips too, it's good to know there is an editing software online!
