Some Questions Answered (I Hope!)

Working with Fonts:

1.) When you download a font, more often than not, it will come in a zipped file. Double-click the zipped file and extract the font (which usually ends with a TTF or OTF extension) to your desktop.
2.) Open your fonts folder (which on on most computers is found here: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts.
3.) Open up Microsoft Word and then use the font (particularly a dingbat font) as you so choose.

Working with Google Reader:

As a suggestion to a query I had, here is a quick way to review your Google Reader items (IMHO):

(Note: If necessary, click the image below to see it in "true-size".)

1. To review all your items, click All Items in the left hand panel.
2. You may then decide to sort the items by clicking the View Settings drop-down menu (either by newest, oldest or auto).
3. When all the items display, you can do one of the following to scroll quickly through the posts (which will also save some carpal tunnel issues too!):

a. Use your Spacebar to scroll the page or,
b. Click the buttons Previous Item or Next Item.


P.S. You can see that I haven't touched my Reader in forevah! Argh...no time!

Any other questions, please let me know!
