Brian Vogel's Step-by-Step Instructions "Greatest Hits"
|
Since, for valid reasons, the same questions come up repeatedly I have taken over time to creating sets of step-by-step instructions in MS-Word (2007 and later, they're .docx files) format. I am also repeatedly doing copy and paste on the content of these instructions, which I'll admit is getting old, because most groups do not allow attachments. Since I've got the material already typed, and Google Drive, and the ability to create links to each file that will directly download them for whoever wants to use or share any one or more of them, that's what I'm doing here. I'll add on to this topic over time, probably repeating the previous "Greatest Hits" list with new material integrated into it. So, in no particular order, here goes:

Thanks so much Brian, I find myself doing the same things when answering the same questions. I will download all of these links. This is a really great idea. Wow, Thanks. If I use any of this information to help others, I will definitely give you credit. David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

If there is no limit for Google Drive files, you
might want to send the list to Top Tech Tidbits. I can probably easily
find information about submissions as a convenience if you
want. From: Brian Vogel

Gene, If you think these would prove helpful with wider distribution I'm more than happy to spread 'em about. If you could get the submission information (if Top Tech Tidbits is not a Groups.io group) I'll be happy to send them along. There is an actual limit for Google Drive free storage, but at 15GB it would take me forever to fill it with word documents.

I meant a limit on the amount of bandwidth for
downloads such as a certain limit per day. It's not that these small items
will be a problem in themselves, but just in case you were using a lot of
bandwidth in other ways, I inquired.
Top Tech Tidbits is a brief technology newsletter
e-mailed to blind subscribers. The submission information
follows:
Any information for future issues of Top Tech
Tidbits may be directed to our editor, Dean Martineau, at: topdot@....

Hi Brian and others,
I propose that we create a wiki page that links to Brian’s files for easy reference (this reminds me to update the wiki and possibly add a page that compares feature differences between builds). Cheers, Joseph

Also, since this is still fresh, I located six more bits that need to be added to the hits list:

Georgi, Even if I wished I could, I can't because I haven't had access to a machine with Office 2007 on it for years. But Office 2007 was when the introduction of the Ribbon system occurred and a great deal of what started then has been carried forward into later versions of Office, some of it all the way through to the current one. Don't write off reference material for later versions of Office if you can't find what you want for Office 2007 itself. There is still a lot of support information available for Office 2007 on support.office.com. Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. ~ Samuel Butler, 1835-1902

Robert, I already did send the links and you just bottom quoted all of them from the first message in your reply to the group. I'm going to put the full set of links in a bulleted list directly after this paragraph so that all of them are contained in a single message rather than split across two. All one has to do is to activate the links with topics of interest and the MS-Word file of step-by-step instructions for that topic will immediately download to your computer for your viewing pleasure.

Brian, I wish these resources could be made available on a Web page. Would you object if I placed these as public links in my Dropbox and made them available via my Web site? I would, of course, ensure you were given credit for them but I will also not do this
if that might be your preference. David Goldfield,

David, I do not object if you wish to place them on a webpage, but they are already public links in my Google Drive and I have no intention of taking them down in the foreseeable future. You can just use the links as is on any webpage (or create new click-through text for the titles if you so choose) and activating them will download the document "clicked on." There's no point in "reinventing the wheel" as far as public storage goes. -- Life is the art of drawing sufficient conclusions from insufficient premises. ~ Samuel Butler, 1835-1902

Hi Brian, Definitely. The fact they are links, means that everyone has access to them, so there is no need to share them anywhere else. I am happy for you that they will be put on the wiki. Take care, David Moore Sent from Mail for Windows 10

Brian,
These are superb. I have been looking to delete e-mail in bulk from Gmail for the longest time. Pranav |
