COMPUTER CLUTTER or What Have I Done?


I may have thousands of files - mostly Word.  And too many Excel files of expenses from last year.  (Just dumped those monthly ones as soon as I wrote that.)

What is helping me cut out the losers in Word?  I just compared two resumes side by side and saved the best one using a great technique from a free library computer class:

In Word, I can view two documents side by side by: pressing the little Microsoft flag key in the bottom row of my keyboard at the same time I press one of the direction arrow keys.  Then do the same for the other document and the other arrow key.

This way I can switch back and forth as many times as necessary, move good stuff, and delete the boring stuff until I have one good document to keep.

Expect another secret I use in the next post soon.
