			<description><![CDATA[<strong>JUMBO TEXT ON WEBSITES <br/></strong><br/>If while surfing the Internet, you find that the text you are reading on a website is too small for comfortable reading, then enlarge the text. It is easy. The two most common ways to do it are: <br/><br/>
<ul>
<li>If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel, just hold down the control key and then scroll the wheel up or down to adjust text size. </li>
<li>Go to "View" at the top of your web browser and select "Text size". Adjust it to your preferred size.</li></ul><br/><br/><strong>UNIVERSAL SPELL CHECKER</strong> <br/><br/>Spell check is a necessary feature of whichever program you use for writing text, yet it has never been available everywhere ... until now. Enso Words gives you spell-check power for all of your favorite programs, from Microsoft Word and Mozilla Firefox to Macromedia Fireworks. It is so simple and elegant, that it feels like magic. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.humanized.com/enso/words" target="_blank">www.humanized.com/enso/words</a> ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<strong>ALT KEY IN OFFICE 2007 <br/></strong><br/>In Office 2007, you no longer have to hold down the ALT key to use shortcuts to access menus and their corresponding commands/sub-menus. Now you just have to hold ALT down long enough for the letters to pop up next to the menu headings. This enables a far more accurate and faster method of reaching the commands that you need! <br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>TOP SECRET NOTES</strong> <br/><br/>If you have something super secret to say and want to make sure that it's private, check out privnote! <br/><br/>Just write your note, and you'll get a link. Then you copy and paste that link into an email (or instant message) that you send to the person who you want to read the note. When that person clicks the link for the first time, it will see the note in her browser and the note will automatically self-destruct, which means no one (even that very same person) can read the note again. The link won't work anymore. <br/><br/><a href="https://privnote.com/" target="_blank">https://privnote.com/ <br/></a>]]></description>

<p><b>CHANGE THE IMAGE OF A TOOLBAR IN WORD</b></p>
<p>There are many different ways that you can customize the toolbars in Word to meet your own needs and preferences. You can even go so far as to customize the image of a button on a toolbar.

<ul>
<li>Right click a visible toolbar in Word. 
</li><li>Click Customize. Verify that the Toolbars tab is active. 
</li><li>Right-click on the toolbar button you want to modify. 
</li><li>Click Change Button Image from the context menu. 
</li><li>Click on the graphic image you want to use. The image appears on the toolbar button. 
</li><li>Click on Close. </li></ul>]]></description>
