Draw a Perfect Straight Line, Square or Circle with This Cool Tip

Shapes
When using Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook or PowerPoint, you can add shapes, such as boxes, circles, and arrows, to your documents, email messages, slide shows, and spreadsheets. 

But how do you get a perfect circle rather than an oval?  Or a square rather than a rectangle?  Or a straight line rather than a jagged one?

The secret Cool Tip is to press and hold the SHIFT key when dragging the mouse to create the shape.

Press Shift Key to draw perfect line square circle

Here's how to do it:

  • On the Insert tab, click Shapes
  • Click the shape icon you want to draw, click anywhere in the workspace and drag to place the shape.
  • To create a perfect line, square or circle (or constrain the dimensions of other shapes), press and hold Shift key while you drag to create the shape.

Realign the Start Button in Windows 11

Windows 11 is Microsoft's latest operating system and it is full of changes - both big and small.

Long time users of Windows won't have a problem adjusting to the new system.

However, there's one small change that is annoying.

The Start button has moved from the far left of the task bar to the center. 

 It looks odd and out of place.

Here's how to move it back to the left, just like in the earlier versions.

  • Right-click the taskbar
  • Open Taskbar Settings
  • Select the Taskbar behaviors drop-down
  • change Taskbar alignment to Left


Realign Start Button Windows 11

This will move all your taskbar icons to the left and put the Start button back where it belongs.

How to Insert a Screenshot in Microsoft Power Point, Excel, Word or Outlook

We've told you before how the Windows Snipping app is great for adding screenshots to a document.

And the Windows 10 version is even better with a delayed timer.

But Microsoft Office products, Power Point, Excel, Word and Outlook, also have a built-in tool to insert screenshots.

Here's how to do it.

  1. Click the "Insert" menu on the Office Ribbon.  Then select "Screenshot".
  2. To add the entire window, click the thumbnail view of the available windows.
  3. To add part of a window, click "Screen Clipping".  Press and hold the left mouse button to select the screen area to capture.



That's it.  It's easy to add an entire screen or just a part into your presentation, document, spreadsheet or email.

Enjoy!
