Welcome to
the First Issue of the Second Volume of Pamela's Monthly Review. The First Volume
ran for four years and then the publication was put on hold while I was
writing the First Edition of my new book Computer Tips for Seniors. Now
that it has been published I decided
to continue with my tips and information on computer related products and
services through this newsletter.
In the coming
months I
will also be featuring products that I have reviewed and tested for
ease of use and reliability. If the manufacturer has a promo code it
will be available through my website. Only products that I have tried
and tested will be featured in this publication.
Through my
FREE Question and Answer Service you will be able to ask questions about
the products and any features that you would like explained. My answer
will reach you within 24 hours if not at once. This may be faster than
writing to the manufacturer or going online for additional information.
Don't forget
to listen to my Live Radio Talk Show every fourth Tuesday of the month.
If you miss the live shows you can listen to them through Windows Media Player by

TIP OF THE MONTH:
If you suspect that a WORD document is corrupt
and you can still open the document, the steps below may be tried as a first
attempt to recover the document:
1. Open the corrupt document.
2. Create a brand new document.
-
3. Return to the corrupt document.
-
4. Press Ctrl+A. This selects the
entire document.
-
5. Press Ctrl+C. This copies
the selected portion of the document to the invisible Clipboard.
-
6. Return to the new document; the one
you created in step 2.
-
7. Press Ctrl+V. The contents
of the invisible Clipboard are pasted into the blank document.
-
8. Save the new document.
-
9. Close the document you suspect is corrupted.
If you are using Word 2003 or Word 2007
there is something else you can try:
When you
open a document, you'll normally find an Open dialog
box. Use the controls in the dialog box to locate the file you think is
corrupted, then click the down arrow at the right of the Open button. In the
resulting options, choose Open and Repair.
