The download was quick and the install uneventful. I was surprised it left Office 2010 installed and active. Before you get too excited about this new version, know that it only works with Windows 7 or Windows 8. If you have XP or Vista, be happy with versions up to Office 2010. Features in Word 2013 that really stand out. As I use it more...

Dick Evans Tips: August 2013

Wednesday, August 14, 2013. Google search to the rescue once again. There is an add-on for Chrome that will reveal a password when you click in the * * * field. It is called Show Password on Focus. I added the app and restarted Chrome. Then I went back to the sign in screen and clicked the * * field. The asterisks changed to the visible password and I used it on the new machine. Cool. Here is the link to add it to your Chrome browser. Click Show to display the actaul password instead of the asterisks.

Sunday, July 21, 2013. Thoughts on Backing Up. I recently had a question about backing up. We can use CD's, DVD's, flash drives, external drives, and even the cloud. The CD/DVD route is slow but effective. Flash drives are useful but limited in speed and capacity. External drives and the cloud seem to me to be the best methods. Here is what I do for my own backups. A better approach, in my opinion is to use the Cloud daily and a backup application at least once a month. Use the referral code. A Christian...

Saturday, March 16, 2013. Outlook the New Hotmail. Were you surprised to get that email from Hotmail saying they were importing your account over to Outlook.com? I know I was and the new UI (user interface) does not look like the old Hotmail UI. After poking around for a while I figured out how to do those tasks I was familiar with in Hotmail. I wrote the following white paper to help those who are still struggling with the same questions. Outlook the New Hotmail. By Dick Evans,. Dick was on the full tim...

Dick Evans Tips: May 2012

Thursday, May 31, 2012. We spend time backing up our data so if our hard drive crashes we can get most of it back to a new drive or new computer. We password protect important things like our accounting information and even set up our user name so it requires a password to log on to Windows. But what if we lose our laptop or netbook or even our new tablet? Sure, they may need a password to log on as us, but what if they take out the hard drive and hook it up to another computer?

Thursday, May 16, 2013. By Dick Evans, www.rwevans.com. When someone has a problem on their computer like some weird message appearing on the screen, I will ask them to describe it. Hardly ever works! Sending me a printout of the screen with the error message on it is much easier to understand. But how does one do that? The key is still there, but it does not send the contents directly to the printer. And it now sends all of the screen contents, words, images, and colors. Where does it go you ask? Sendin...

Thursday, July 19, 2012. I remember way back when I first ventured into purchasing items online. I was apprehensive about giving out my credit card information over the net. Security back in the 90’s was pretty loose. I began by opening a single credit card specifically for online orders. I purposely kept the credit limit low; around $500 I think. I figured if I had a problem with the account number being hijacked at least they could not get me for more than that! In addition to Discover, I understand ot...
