We've published the 31st edition of the "Secret Guide to Computers & Tricky
Living" for 2012.
This new edition is a single gigantic book (instead of a pair of smaller books). It
totals 703 pages. It lists for just $25 total. Join your friends, to get discounts of 20%,
40%, and 60%.
Every chapter's been updated: we've made over 40,000 improvements. For example,
we've included new info on modern computer dealers, Windows 7, modern Web
browsers (Internet Explorer 8&9, Firefox 4&5, and Chrome 12), best Websites,
modern e-mail systems (Live Mail, Yahoo Mail, and GMail), the iPad, Microsoft
Office 2010, modern programming (in Java 6, QB64, Visual Basic 2010, Visual C++
2010, and Visual C# 2010), axiomatic math, Spanish pronunciation, Bible translations,
and fun stuff. This edition is also more "family friendly," though it still analyzes adultoriented topics such as politics, religion, and sex.

Living"?
The "Secret Guide to Computers & Tricky Living" is the world's only complete

We've improved the book for many years. Now we've finished the 31st edition.
Earlier editions were praised and used by The New York Times, The Wall Street
Journal, PC World, and hundreds of other publications, for being the best computer &
lifestyle books ever written. Over a million copies have been sold.
This 31st edition is even better. Its 703 huge pages include more than 40,000
improvements over the previous edition. It includes these 52 chapters, grouped into 10
sections....

Computer life: our past, your future, resources
We've reduced prices on all earlier editions (which explain classic computers &
lifestyles): now they're just $3 each. Even the 30th edition, recently selling for $20, is
now just $3!
If you get the 31st edition, we recommend you also get the 27th (which includes
many classic topics that aren't in the 28th, 29th, 30th, or 31st). To see how editions
differ, click here.
If you order copies of the 31st edition, we assume you want them all printed on
paper, unless you ask us to switch some of the copies to CD-R disk instead, which we
do at no extra charge. The CD-R disk includes 3 copies of the text: 1 in "plain
Microsoft Word", 1 in "Microsoft Word with embedded fonts", and 1 in "PDF with
embedded font characters." It helps 3 groups of people:
the blind who have a talking computer
overloaded travelers who can't lug our huge books
authors who want to copy our writing into their own books, handouts, and Websites
Those approximate shipping times can vary by 50%, depending on your location
and season. Phone 603-666-6644 if you want to check this week's shipping times &
methods for your location.

Step 2: click Display >> check or uncheck Tab characters in Always show these
formatting marks on the screensection to show or hide the tab characters of
document
There are many characters that Word keeps track of, but that don't normally show
up on the screen or on a printed copy of your document. You use many of these
characters every day, but probably don't think of them as characters (as such). The
list of nonprinting characters that Word uses includes the following:
Column breaks
Hidden text
Newline characters
Optional hyphens
Page breaks
Paragraph marks
Section breaks
Spaces
Tabs
Each of these can be individually displayed in Word by displaying the Word Options
dialog box. (In Word 2007 click the Office button and then click Word Options. In
Word 2010 display the File tab of the ribbon and then click Options.) At the left side
of the dialog box click Display. (See Figure 1.)
There are many times when you are working in Word when it is beneficial to make
sure that nonprinting characters are displayed. For instance, if you cannot seem to
get something aligned properly or formatted just right, nonprinting characters may
be the culprits. Display them and then check your formatting.

The Macros today!
Does anyone know a shortcut to turn "Hidden text" on/off in Windows 2007
(Vista OS) with the press of one or two buttons? Or would it be possible to create
a macro that would allow me to do that?
Right now, I press the "Office" button, then the "Word options", then "Display
and then "Hidden text" and "OK". grrrrrrrr ... too time consuming.
I would love to assign the function to a F? button.
If you know how to create a macro, will you make it step-by-step instructions?
I would REALLY appreciate it.

I use Word2007, and that's the default way it's handled tracking
changes since at least Word2003.
In the Track Changes Options, you can set them to display however
you'd like. (In 2007, they're on the Review tab, Track Changes group.)
But if the "several people's" changes don't all appear in different
colors, then you've already altered at least one of the out-of-the-box
settings.
