How to Copy or Select Text Vertically in Microsoft Word ?

By default, when you drag your mouse to highlight select the texts in Microsoft Word document, it is usually in horizontal selection. Users are more familiar to horizontally selecting texts in lines, tables, or paragraphs, etc.

But, when it appears to a vertical selection, most of them have no hints about it. They need to select the texts they want to copy lines by lines horizontally as they want the vertical parts only.

If you often need to use Microsoft Word for writing documents, you’ve probably come across the situation where you needed to delete the beginning of each line in a list, especially if you are reformatting a document or dealing with text pasted from another source.

So, Do you know that Microsoft Word allows users to select text vertically as well?

Then, how to solve this problem wisely? The best method is to hold the “Alt” key on your keyboard and then use your mouse to drag over the text downwards to highlight select text in your word file, then press “Ctrl + C” to copy. Lastly, paste the copied text to the document you want. Or, If you want to delete that slected part just delete after selecting the texts.

For example, I want to delete the first word from each item in the above list, so I hold down the Alt key and make a selection around the area:

Now I can cut, copy, or just delete the selection.

You can make a vertical selection anywhere in the document (See Above Picture), not just with lists. It’s probably more useful when dealing with a similar scenario.

The Beauty of Mathematics!

Hey guys! I haven't invented these - I just collected them.

Let's start with general definition.

Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.

The Numbers 1 to 9

The sum of 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9 = 45

Multiply 123456789 by 2 and you get 246913578, the sum of which is 45

The "stations" of the nine times table all add up to nine. 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, 72, 81, 90

Maths Trick
Try this one in your head, using mental maths...

Step 1
Ask a friend to think of a number between 1 and 10.
Example: 8

Step 2
Get them to double it.
Example: 16

Step 3
Ask them to add 10 to the answer.
Example: 26

Step 4
Then get them to divide by 2.
Example: 13

Step 5
Ask them to tell you what number they now have.
Example: 13

Step 6
You subtract 5 from this and tell them what their original number was.
Example: 13 - 5 = 8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amazing 1089

Step 1
Take two pieces of paper and hand one to a friend.
On yours, without letting them see, write the number 1089, then fold the paper to keep it hidden.

Step 2
Ask them to think of a 3-digit number but, before they write it down, ask them to put the numbers in order from greatest to smallest. Don't let them show what they've written.
Example: 543

Step 3
Below their number, ask them to write the same digits, but in reverse order, from smallest to greatest.
Example: 345

Step 4
Now, ask them to subtract the new lower number from the original one they wrote.
Example: 198

Step 5
Next, ask them to reverse the order of that number.
Example: 891

Step 6
Then, get them to add this latest number and the previous number together and show you the result.
Example: 891 + 198 = 1089

Step 7
Finally, you can reveal your own number, which (if they have calculated correctly) will be exactly what they have written... 1089
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maths Trick

STEP 1
Ask a friend to write down a number (any number with more than 3 digits will do, but to save time and effort you might suggest a maximum of 8 digits).
Example: 83 972 105

STEP 2
Ask them to add the digits.
Example: 8+3+9+7+2+1+0+5 = 35

STEP 3
Ask them to subtract this number from the original one.
Example: 83 972 105 – 35 = 83 972 070

STEP 4
Ask them to select any digit from this new number and strike it out, without showing you.
Example: 83 972 070

STEP 5
Ask them to add the remaining digits and write down the answer they get.
Example: 8+3+9+7+0+7+0 = 34

STEP 6
Ask them to tell you the number they get (34) and you will tell them which number they struck out.

SOLUTION
The way you do this is to subtract the number they give you from the next multiple of 9. The answer you get is the number they struck out.
Example: The next multiple of 9 here is 36 (9 x 4 =36)
36 – 34 = 2 and there you have your answer, easy isn’t it!

Note: If the number they give you after step 5 is a multiple of 9, there are two possible answers then you simply tell them that this time they crossed out either a 9 or a zero.

Finger Math: 9X Rule

To multiply by 9,try this:

Spread your two hands with all fingers open out and place them on a desk or table in front of you.

To multiply by 3 (ie. 3 X 9), fold down the 3rd finger of your left hand (from the left hand side). To multiply by 4, it would be the 4th finger and so on.

The answer is 27 (ie. 3 X 9 = 27), ... HOW TO READ IT ???? We have 2 fingers at the left most side of the finger which is folded in left hand and the 7 fingers on the right of it (ie 2 fingers at right of folded finger of left hand and all 5 fingers of right hand).

This works for anything up to 9x10!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 11 Rule

To multiply any two digit number by 11:
For this example we will use 54.
Separate the two digits in you mind (5__4).
Notice the hole between them!
Add the 5 and the 4 together (5+4=9)
Put the resulting 9 in the hole 594. That's it! 11 x 54=594

The only thing tricky to remember is that if the result of the addition is greater than 9, you only put the "ones" digit in the hole and carry the "tens" digit from the addition. For example 11 x 57 ... 5__7 ... 5+7=12 ... put the 2 in the hole and add the 1 from the 12 to the 5 in to get 6 for a result of 627 ... 11 x 57 = 627
Practice it on paper first!

Theorem: 1$ = 10 cent

Proof: We know that $1 = 100 cents

Divide both sides by 100

$ 1/100 = 100/100 cents

or, $ 1/100 = 1 cent

Take square root both side

or, squr($1/100) = squr (1 cent)

or, $ 1/10 = 1 cent

Multiply both side by 10

or, $1 = 10 cent

Hahaha Funny!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Salary Theorem
The less you know, the more you make.

Proof:

Postulate 1: Knowledge is Power.
Postulate 2: Time is Money.

As every engineer knows: Power = Work / Time
And since Knowledge = Power and Time = Money

It is therefore true that
Knowledge = Work / Money

Solving for Money, we get:
Money = Work / Knowledge

Thus, as Knowledge approaches zero, Money approaches infinity, regardless of the amount of Workdone.

What's in your computer?

What's in your computer? If you're like most of us, you can probably name the processor (Intel or AMD, Celeron or Pentium), maybe how much RAM it has, and maybe how big the hard drive is.

When you go to a computer store and see all the bright shiny PCs laid out next to each other, most will have tags or stickers indicating the:
Processor brand and model
Hard drive size and speed
Amount of memory (RAM)
Graphics card
Operating system

Two or three years later, when it comes time to upgrade your computer, that tag or sticker may be long gone. Speccy is thus designed as a free electronic "what's inside" sticker for your PC.

Speccy will give you detailed statistics on every piece of hardware in your computer. Including CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Graphics Cards, Hard Disks, Optical Drives, Audio support. Additionally Speccy adds the temperatures of your different components, so you can easily see if there's a problem!

Below is the CPU View : The CPU view has graphs for bus speed, rated bus speed, core average temperature etc. It shows you CPU cores, threads, sockets, technology, specifications, family, supported instruction sets, cache etc.


Below is the RAM View : RAM view shows Memory type, size, channels, frequency, Latency, CAS / RAS etc. It also shows the serial number, part number etc. for the installed memory slots.


Below is the Hard Disk View : It shows Manufacturer info, hard disk info like part number, serial number, volume details, error rates, file system details etc.

Do you know how big is the Internet ?

Cisco Systems, the San Jose, Calif.-based company that makes a living selling plumbing for the Internet (amongst other things), has come out with a prediction: Traffic on the world’s networks will increase (annually) 46 percent from 2007 to 2012, nearly doubling every two years. As a result, there will be an annual bandwidth demand of approximately 522 exabytes2, or more than half a zettabyte.

Some interesting findings from Cisco include:

Global IP traffic will reach 44 exabytes per month in 2012, compared to less than seven per month in 2007. In 2002, global IP traffic was five exabytes, which means that the volume of IP traffic in 2012 will be 100 times as large.

Monthly global IP traffic in December 2012 will be 11 exabytes higher than in December 2011, a single-year increase that will exceed the amount by which traffic has increased in the eight years since 2000.

Mobile data traffic will roughly double each year from 2008 through 2012. U.S. will surpass Japan in mobile traffic in 2009. (I guess thanks to the iPhone.)

In 2012, Internet video traffic alone will be 400 times the traffic carried by the U.S. Internet backbone in 2000. Representative of this trend, Internet video has jumped to 22 percent of the global consumer Internet traffic in 2007 from 12 percent in 2006. Video-on-demand, IPTV, peer-to-peer (P2P) video, and Internet video are forecast to account for nearly 90 percent of all consumer IP traffic in 2012.

China has already passed the U.S. as the world’s largest broadband and mobile market. India is getting there. VeriSign, a Mountain View, Calif.-based company that’s a major player in business domain names, notes that India now has about 41 million Internet users, making it the eight-largest Internet country. Cisco notes that Internet traffic is growing fastest in Latin America, followed by Western Europe and the Asia-Pacific region, and says that’s likely to be the case through 2012. It kind of makes sense — after years and years of U.S. domination, Internet traffic is beginning to act in a more global fashion.
