Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Here’s the Keys to Your Keys!

Computers crash and computers burn. Any Certified Legal Nurse Consultant will agree that sometimes you receive plenty of warning and other times you don’t. The last time I had to “replace” a laptop I had more than enough warning – the old laptop started failing but ran somewhat intermittently. Not wanting to buy a new copy of Microsoft® Office, I planned to reinstall Office onto the replacement computer. The problem was that I needed the software key – a multi, multi digit number that helps the boys in Redmond make sure that only legit copies of software are installed. The other problem was that I didn’t have the original hard case with the key sticker, because I had copied the installation disk to one of our servers to aid with software distribution. There wasn’t a key to be found.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Email, Email from Everywhere – in Microsoft Office Anyway

Long ago I blogged about the Quick Access Toolbar available in every Microsoft® Office® 2007+ program. This is an invaluable tool for Certified Legal Nurse Consultants because it delivers quick access to many of the tools you need for your CLNC® business. I’ve customized mine to include not just the usual functions of cut, paste, undo, redo and print, but I’ve also added an email button!

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Word! I Mean a Word Tip!

Today’s blog is the equivalent of a Certified Legal Nurse Consulting quickie. In between preparing documents and PowerPoint® slides for the NACLNC® Conference Cruise I’m packing and trying to figure out how to stuff all my stuff into one rolling suitcase (or not). So, rather than drone on and on, here is one quick Microsoft® Office® tip I learned this week.

Tom’s Tuesday Tech Tip: Make Sure Your Data Is Opening with the Right Program

The more you use your computer in your legal nurse consulting business, the higher the chance that one of your data types will become associated with a program other than the one you want to use to open it. What I mean by this is that your songs may start opening with Windows Media Player instead of your trusty iTunes. Your legal nurse consulting reports created in Word might start opening in Wordpad or your photos may open with some editor you downloaded from the Web instead of Photoshop Elements or Microsoft Office Picture Manager.
