# 1 - Still Sellin' Like Crazy!

Well, I guess our subscribers know a good deal when they see it!

Our QuickVerse offer went over HUGE yesterday. I have more coming in today, so there are still a few available (not a ton though). Here's the scoop:

The retail on this is $199.95, we have it for $39.95, but we're also running a 15% off coupon for our newsletter subscribers. So, your final cost is only $33.97!

Note that in order to get this price, you'll need to enter your coupon code in the Customer Code area of our shopping cart (you'll see it when you add the program to your cart). Here's your code:

27256

This coupon is only good between now and Sunday (March 17th 2002), so get to the site ASAP.

Again, this 3 CD set is built for Bible study. It includes 11 different bibles and 54 Bible reference titles! In addition, it includes over 1000 full color pictures, maps, and illustrations.

It also lets you compare different translations, create your own Bible study schedule / lessons, do powerful cross referenced searches, look words up in a dictionary, enjoy a daily devotional, and view related expert commentary.

We've already sold tons (and tons) of these and may run out sometime today. To see a complete list of features - and to get in on this one - head to:

http://www.worldstart.com/store/quickverse.htm

And remember to use your coupon code!

PS - Remember, Shipping is FREE if you live in the US plus we have our 30 day satisfaction guarantee - if you don't think it's great, you can send it back for a refund! You have nothing to lose! OK, quick now - get to the site before we sell out!

# 2- Your Questions & Tips

As you probably know, we receive hundreds of computer questions a week. We also get the occasional tip submitted to us.

To make these easier to consider for the newsletter, we've put together a couple of new pages.

First, if you want to submit a question to the newsletter, head to:

http://www.worldstart.com/submitquestion.htm

If you have a tip you would like to share, head to:

These links are going to be at the end of every tip in the newsletter from now on, so finding them when you need 'em will be easy.

Thanks!

Computers 101

Q:
I have a shortcut on my desktop I'd like to rename. How do I do it?

A:
Just right-click the shortcut and select Rename from the resulting menu. The shortcut's name will now be highlighted. Just type in the new name and you're all set.

If you want to get fancier and show off, you can select the icon and hit the F2 button. This will get the name highlighted and allow you to type in the new name.

Either way, you should be all re-named.

Tip of the Day

Printing Web Pages

Web link - http://www.worldstart.com/tips/printingwebpages.htm

Do you print out web pages? If so, do you become annoyed at all the header and footer info that gets printed on each and every page? You know, the web address, title, etc? Well, with Internet Explorer, you can get that adjusted right out of there, or customize it. Here's how:

1. Click the File menu, Page Setup

2. Find the "Headers & Footers" area and remove all the gibberish in the respective fields. Hit OK and you have it.

Before:

After:

Now, that will keep the computer from printing all of your header and footer info, but what if you want some of it? Well, you can do that too, using the parameters below in the header and footer fields:

&w Window title

&u Page address (URL)

&d Date in short format (as specified by Regional Settings in Control
Panel)

&D Date in long format (as specified by Regional Settings in Control
Panel)

&t Time in the format specified by Regional Settings in Control Panel

&T Time in 24-hour format

&p Current page number

&P Total number of pages

&& A single ampersand (&)

&b The text immediately following these characters as centered.

&b&b The text immediately following the first "&b" as centered, and the text following the second "&b" as right-justified.

For example, if you want the header to have the window (page) title and the URL, you would type:

&w &u

If you wanted to make it so it also specified you were the one who printed it, you could put something like:

&w &u Printed by Steve on &d

The only thing you need to keep an eye on is the spacing. To get a single space between items (like &w&u) you need to hit the space bar twice. Experiment and you'll get it. Enjoy!
