Double Click

Not just for running programs!

Few people use this windows feature fully. 

In Word, it high-lights the complete word you are on (triple-click for sentence).  In the left margin, it highlights the paragraph (triple click for entire document).

In Excel, double-clicking the dot on the bottom right of a highlighted cell copies it down to the bottom of the block of data.

Handy!

Trade Names

One client of mine registered a company to protect a name and then found that someone else registered the same name as a trademark and is trying to stop him using it!  This is complicated legislation but remember that company names, trade marks and e-mail addresses are all entirely separate and have very different rights. http://www.patent.gov.uk/tm/benefits/index.htm has some useful information.

 Humour

All my best jokes came from Colin who sadly passed away a short while ago, so no jokes this month.

It's a tribute to him that, while dying of leukaemia at the age of 44, he never lost his sense of humour.

We'll all miss him.

On a happier note however my wife produced a baby boy over the week-end. Life goes on - literally!
