Gettin' Religious
We have a *super* deal on Compton's Interactive Bible this week.
WAIT - before you stop reading, I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that a CD ROM bible is probably a big rip-off and isn't something you want anyway. After all, you probably already have the book, so why bother with the CD?
Well, that's what I thought when I first considered offering this one, but after looking at the program, I have changed my mind - big time.
This ain't your grandma's Bible!
This thing is awesome. You can, of course, read and run searches (great search capability, by the way), but there's lots more to it. Here's a few samples:
- Built in dictionary - If you run across a word you aren't familiar with, just double-click it for a definition.
- Expert commentary - both audio & text.
- Historical Atlas - see the word mapped the way it was in biblical times.
- Religious paintings, videos, and photos.
- Personal Study Journal - for your own notes.
And these are only some of its many features. Again, I was very surprised at both the quality of the software and the ease of use. And I was VERY impressed with all the extra commentary, audio, and video.
Finally, this software is CD only - (it is easy to use and has an extensive help file though). It retails for $49.95, but we are offering it for only $12.97! (FREE US SHIPPING!).
Here's the info (check out the screen shot) and order link:

PS - Everytime we run this, we sell hundreds and have hundreds of people miss out! Popular is an understatement! Our supplies on this are *very* limited, so don't be one of those who are going to miss out on this awesome deal.

Save
vs. Save As
Is There A Difference?
Ever find yourself
thinking that exact question when you were trying to save your work? Is
there a difference?
Yes - there is - but
I think you knew that. I mean, why else would they both be listed in the
File menu?
Well, to put it simply,
Save will save the current file under the same name in the same
location. (Meaning it saves the new changes over the original file you
opened.) If a file is newly created then Save will open a window allowing
you to name the file and choose a save location. Otherwise, it's a simple
save of the current information over the old, in the same place with the
same name.
On the other hand,
Save As will always bring up the Save As window allowing you to
change the file name and its save location. Assuming you make a change
to name or location, the original file will still be intact in its original
location after the Save As.
So
now that
you know the difference let's go on to the Tip of the Day and throw another
Save into the mix
Office
Tip of the Day
The
"Save All"
Have you ever had
several MS Word documents open at once and want to quickly save them all?
Maybe you're going
to close the program and would like to avoid the continual pop-up boxes
asking you to save each document.
Or, maybe, you're
going to walk away from your computer for a few minutes and would like
to quickly save everything "just in case" - you know how those
situations arise when you wish you would have saved before the machine
"freaked out" or the power failed.
At any rate, wouldn't
it be nice to be able to save all the documents at once instead of one
at a time?
Well, here's the good
news, you can and it only takes one extra keystroke!
When you save your
files you usually have to either use Ctrl+S, the Save
button, or File menu, Save choice.
Any of those options
are great - but remember - you have to continue repeating the process
for each and every document.
Next time try this.
Hold down the Shift
key then go to the File menu.
Take a good look -
see it?
Where the Save choice
used to be there should now be Save All.
Choose Save
All and Word will go through all open documents and save each
one - without closing the documents. (For new documents, it will bring
up the Save As window to allow you to name your document just like individual
Save As commands would have done.)
That's it - you're
all set - multiple saves with one click.
Now if only we had
something like this for around the house. You know, vacuum one room -
poof - they're all vacuumed. Make one bed - poof - they're all made. You
get the idea
