| 60940 | 2002-07-10 08:53:00 | Thanks Iris - i too was going to ask susan about which one she used - that looks like just what i need - up till now i have just been saving as the page (on F1) or copy and pasting bits into a word doc of late, which was a bit better. Can't wait to get in and download it - i will end up using it for f1 tips mainly probably, but it looks like it will have a lot of other good uses too!! Thanks for the tip Susan - you have got many satisfied followers on this one by the looks of this posting!!! :-) | J ZEP (336) | ||
| 60941 | 2002-07-10 10:29:00 | Thanks Susan B and Iris,have installed the program,looks like what I've needed to save all the tips I get off F1,instead of saving the whole web page.Still learning!!One question.I've pasted some hints on my first page,can I carry on doing that on the same page or is it better to start another?And if on the same,does it only allow to fill what's on screen or start to have that moving bar on the side?Sorry--terminology!! Also if I delete some printing above other on the page,does it-the print below-move up to fill the gap,but that I can try!!And I could save all my emails in this too,by copying and pasting,eh!Wow,an organised method at last! | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 60942 | 2002-07-10 10:55:00 | Sorry,please ignore my previous post.Have tried those queries and found out for myself. A matter of the brain thinking ahead of actions,which is good most of the time!! Looks like a great program worth registering.Must have another play,and set up the F1 joke card! | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 60943 | 2002-07-10 11:25:00 | Gee, look what I've started! :D I've got one Cardfile for Press F1 which has individual cards for certain topics . For example I've got a card for modems, another for networking, others for Windows 98 tips, Win XP tips, building a new PC tips, etc etc just to give you an idea . I copy and paste from threads/posts I'm interested in and delete the junk that inevitably comes across . One tip for you all: when you copy then paste, go to Edit>Paste Special>Unformatted Text . I wish they had a shortcut icon for doing it but there isn't . That keeps it as tidy as it can be and you can select all the text in one card (Ctrl+a) and click on the "A10" icon to increase the font size . I find the default a little too small to read comfortably on screen . |

| 60944 | 2002-07-10 12:19:00 | Susan, if you go to Tools/Options and click on the view tab you will be able to change the default font and size to whatever you want. | Bryan D (895) | ||
| 60945 | 2002-07-11 00:31:00 | I too, have also put on Cardfile. It is good but what files I have made are getting stored into My Documents. Is there a better place to have them to go to? thanks. Pauline |

| 60946 | 2002-07-11 02:59:00 | Sorry Susan B,two questions now I've figured out the basics.What is Paste special,and how do I do a backup save to My Documents?Please!! Thanks,Neil. | Neil McC (178) | ||
| 60947 | 2002-07-11 06:30:00 | Just goes to show . And I thought I was being cheeky asking you which cardfile to use . Certainly got a good discussion going, and as usual Susan you`ve added some more "pearls of wisdom" over and above what you were originally asked for . Must be time you won a years subscription to PC World at least . Thanks once again for being so helpful . I know I certainly appreciate it B-) B-) B-) Iris (and wouldn`t you know it, it`s raining once again in the Heart of Kiwifruit Land) |

| 60948 | 2002-07-11 06:40:00 | Pauline: if all of your documents (eg Word docs, etc) normally get stored in My Documents then that's fine . If everything is stored in one place it makes it a lot easier to backup things instead of having to hunt around your hard drive for everything . If you normally store your documents elsewhere you'll have to move your Cardfiles there and when you save one next, navigate to that folder and Cardfile will remember it . Neil: Paste Special is used for when you want to control how the pasted text/object, etc is formatted . If you just do a plain paste Cardfile will try and keep the original formatting . Doing a Paste Special allows you to keep the Cardfile formatting, which I like . Just have a play around and see what you prefer . It doesn't hurt to have a fiddle - that's how I learn how things work . ;-) Bryan:Thanks for that tip . I tried it once and found that the whole Cardfile contents got changed to my chosen default and I lost all the formatting that I had previously applied . I think it's best to set up the default one wants when beginning a new Cardfile, before new cards are created . |

Sorry Neil, but I didn't have time to completely answer your questions . Had a big kitchen session this afternoon to fill up cake tins and hollow tummies . I'm not quite sure what you mean about doing a backup save to My Documents but when you save your Cardfiles you have the option to save them wherever it suits you and it usually remembers that location next time . In the Tools>Options menu you are able to specify that it also saves backup copies in case something happens to the original . I've got mine saved in the Cardfile program folder rather than My Documents for extra security in case My Documents goes poof! Just put a tick in the "Always create backup copies in . . . " and click on the icon to the right of the path box to navigate to the folder you want . |
