Every year we have a chance to reinvent ourselves not just physically and spiritually, but also technologically. The thing about tech-related New Year’s resolutions is that you can’t break them – otherwise you stunt your professional growth.
I’m never done editing a document, and if you’re like me, you probably edit and re-edit your legal nurse consulting work product multiple times before turning it in to your attorney-client. Sometimes I can’t remember what I edited or where I stopped editing when I last closed a document. That probably leads me to undo and redo the same edits multiple times (I’ll never know).
If you’re an iPhone® or iPad® user who has dropped your device, cracked your screen or done much worse you’ve been limited to going to an Apple® store to wait in line to hand your device over for repair and wait some nebulous period for its return. I’ve been there and done that. The service is superior and the waitlists (even with online appointments) are long. Worse, if you don’t live near an Apple store you have to mail your device off for service.
One of the best things about the iOS for iPhones® and iPads® is the autocorrect that corrects the words you’re typing as you type them. One of the worst things about the iOS is the autocorrect that often puts in words you didn’t mean or are nonsensical.
One of the handy tools in Safari on the iPhone® is the ability to open new web pages in new tabs. Often I’ll follow a link in an email to read an article in Safari and then go back my email. This leaves that particular Safari tab open.
Microsoft® Word is probably one of the most used software in the world. Learning how to use it is essential for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants. To that end, here’s an article (from a website I love) that contains some valuable tips and tricks. Some of these are indispensable and I suggest you try them.
The easiest way to create a report for your attorney-clients is using the Tables function in Microsoft® Word. Tables take all of the guess work out of formatting and are easy to use. But they do require some patience and practice to ensure they format correctly, page breaks appear where they need to appear and header rows display as you intend.
On January 14, 2020 mainstream support for Windows® 7 will end. This means that Microsoft® will consider Win 7 as End of Life (EOL) and discontinue all paid support, security updates, patches and other fixes. In other words any new vulnerabilities discovered after January 14, 2020 will not be fixed. If you’re lucky enough to be running Win 7 Professional (or an Enterprise edition) you will be able to purchase extended support – but everyone else will be out of luck.
If you’re a busy Certified Legal Nurse Consultant you’ve probably worked late into the night on more than one occasion. In fact, you probably do it as a matter of course. It’s well known that the blue light from electronic devices such as laptops, monitors and phones can suppress melatonin production, affect your sleep and even contribute to health issues. This Tech Tip gives you an excuse to stay up late and improve your health. But it’s best to wait until after dark before implementing the steps below. Plus you’ll be able to see the differences as you work through it.
What do Word 2010, Office 365, Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer and Edge all have in common? Simple, they make it easy to look up a word or phrase on the web. And they make it so simple you don’t have to copy and paste into a web browser’s search bar to do it.
