Stay Focused and Productive with this Microsoft Word Cool Tip

Microsoft Word Focus
Do you get distracted when trying to use Microsoft Word?

Wouldn't it be nice if you could star focused?

Here's a Cool Tip:

Use the Focus feature in Microsoft Word.

The Focus feature in Microsoft Word is a tool that allows you to focus on the content you are working on by hiding everything else. 

When you use the Focus feature, everything except the content you are working on will be grayed out, making it easier for you to concentrate on what you are doing. 

This is particularly useful when you are working on a long document or trying to edit a complex section.

How to use the Focus feature in Microsoft Word
  • Open the Microsoft Word document you want to work on.
  • Click on the View tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  • Click on the Focus button.

  • To exit the Focus feature, click on the Close Focus button in the top right corner of the screen.

Stay focused!

How to Enable Caps Lock on Your Phone

Are you tired of typing out everything in lowercase letters on your phone? 

Do you find it difficult to hold down the shift key while typing? 

Don't worry, enabling caps lock is a simple process that can save you time and effort.

The default setting is to require users to hold down the shift key to type in uppercase letters. 

However, this can be inconvenient for those who frequently type in all caps. 

By enabling caps lock, you can type in all uppercase letters without having to hold down the shift key the entire time.

Here's how to enable caps lock on your iPhone using the shift key:
  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • Scroll down and tap on General.
  • Scroll down and tap on Keyboard.
  • Toggle on the Enable Caps Lock option.
  • Now when you're typing, simply double-tap the shift key to enable caps lock. 
    • A line displays below the up arrow on the Shift key when Caps Lock is enabled.

iPhone Shift Key
  • To disable caps lock, simply tap the shift key once again.

For Android phones:
  • Double-tap the shift key to enable caps lock. 
  • To disable caps lock, simply tab the shift key once again.
Enabling caps lock on your phone using the shift key is a quick and easy process that can save you time and make typing more efficient. 

Give it a try and see how much easier it makes typing.

Stay Up-to-Date with the World: How to Access Google News URLs for Other Countries

Google News
Have you ever wondered how others outside your country think about your country's news?

There's an easy way to find out.

Here's the Cool Tip:  Check out Google News for other countries.

The easiest way is to do this:
  • Go to news.google.com and 
  • Select the Gear icon in the top-right corner.
  • Select Language and Region
  • Select your choice of news.
    • For example, English (United Kingdom)
  • Then select Update.
  • You will be viewing the UK version of Google News.

Google News UK
  • To return to your native country, just reverse the process.

You can also use the links below to visit Google News for each country.  This option will not change your settings.


If you do not read the language, Google will usually have an option near the top of the page to translate the page into your native language.

For other countries, you can modify the URL parameters accordingly. The "hl" parameter indicates the language, and the "gl" and "ceid" parameters represent the country code. For example, if you want to access Google News in Italian for Italy, you can change the parameters to "hl=it" and "gl=IT&ceid=IT:it".

How to Show or Hide the Ribbon in Office

Microsoft 365
Where's the ribbon?

That's often the question when using Microsoft Office.

The ribbon is a set of toolbars at the top of the window in Office programs, for example, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, designed to help you quickly find the commands that you need to complete a task. 

But a common problem that users encounter is that the ribbon can appear and seemingly disappear on a whim.

Office Ribbon Menu Bar
Microsoft Office Ribbon

Here is a Cool Tip on how to master the Office ribbon.

Expand or collapse the ribbon

You can toggle between having the ribbon expanded or collapsed in multiple ways.

If the ribbon is collapsed, expand it by doing one of the following:

  • Double-click any of the ribbon tabs.

  • Right-click any of the ribbon tabs, and then select Collapse the ribbon.

Collapse the Ribbon
  • Press CTRL+F1.

If the ribbon is expanded, collapse it by doing one of the following:

  • Double-click any of the ribbon tabs.
  • Right-click any of the ribbon tabs, and then select Collapse the ribbon
Collapse the Ribbon
Collapse the Ribbon

  • Right-click Ribbon display options in the lower right of the ribbon, and then select Collapse the ribbon.
  • Press CTRL+F1.

Show Ribbon options

  • When the ribbon is visible, in the lower-right corner of the ribbon, click the Ribbon Display Options icon or the down caret icon.
Ribbon Display Options
Ribbon Display Options
  • Choose a state for the ribbon:

    • Full-screen mode hides the ribbon for the best view of your document, and only shows the ribbon when you select More , or press the ALT key.
    • Show tabs only shows only the ribbon tabs, so you see more of your document, and you can still quickly switch among the tabs.
    • Always show Ribbon keeps all the tabs and commands on the ribbon visible all the time.

If the ribbon isn't visible at all

If the ribbon isn’t visible at all (no tabs are showing), the state is set to Full-screen mode

Select More  or the three dot icon at the top right of the screen. This will temporarily restore the ribbon.

When you return to the document, the ribbon will be hidden again. To keep the ribbon displayed, select a different state from the Ribbon Display Options menu.

That's it!
