Changing Tab Alignment The tab stops we’ve discussed so far have all been aligned to left. You can change them from left tabs to either center, right, or decimal tabs (good for aligning numbers with a decimal in them). To do so, simply click on box directly to left of ruler bar that has an “L” in it; each time you click, symbol changes to a different tab alignment. However, this technique is hardest to learn and to manage. There’s a better to creating lists with different alignments.

The Best Technique – A Table Using a table is by far best way to create any type of list you want. You simply create a table with number of columns and rows that you need, adjust column widths by clicking and dragging column lines, and just type your text in each cell. You can change alignment by simply using alignment buttons you normally would for a paragraph. The added advantage of tables is being able to format them with borders and shading. Typically top row would contain your headings, which you could format with bold text and a gray background. If you don’t need any special formatting, simply highlight table and remove all borders and shading.

Either way, using a table will be easier to maintain than any other technique. But any technique is better than trying to use spacebar. If you haven’t already, for your own good … please break this habit!

Since then, I have switched to a 250mb Zip Drive. And what a difference. When I was using 1.44mb floppies, it took quite a few just to back up necessary files. Now, with 250mb zip floppy, I can back up WHOLE PROGRAMS, and not just important files.

The 250mb floppy holds equivelant of just over 173 of 1.44 floppies. Talk about saving space.

The cost? The 250mb Zip Drive itself can sell for around $150-$200. But real savings is in floppy disks, time saved, and convenience.

A 1.44 floppy disk sells for around 50 cent each, depending on quantity you buy, and where you buy them. So, 173 would cost you about $86.50. The last zip floppies I bought were $55 for 4, which makes them $13.75 each. Compare $13.75 to $86.50 for same amount of disk space. A huge saving. And you only have to mess with 1 disk, instead of 173. I love it.

But REAL important thing here is to BACKUP, no matter how you do it, JUST BACKUP.
