Burn Baby, Burn!

Back by popular demand! We've had people asking about this one for a month now!

Do you have a CD writer in your computer? Ever wish you had some really great software to burn with? Hmm, how about some software to create CD really cool lables? (I hate those lable-less "mystery disks")

Well, that's what we were thinking when we came up with this offer!

We have created what could be the ultimate CD burning bundle for you. We have NERO Express and The PrintShop CD Label Creator for only $19.97! (FREE US Shipping) Both are current titles and have a combined retail of nearly $95.00!! How's that for a deal?

NERO Express:

First off, let's look at my new favorite CD burning software, NERO Express. This program makes burning CDs incredibly easy - but at the same time it's extremely powerful. It's fast becoming the burning software of choice for thousands across the globe. After using it, I can see why. My only regret is not switching sooner!

To say this is program is full featured is an understatement (take a look at the page on our site). Naturally, it can do all the basics - create CDs (or DVDs if your drive supports it), make copies of CDs, do backups, etc. One of the really great features is the way it allows you to use a CD-RW like a floppy drive. Just drag a file to it and it will write it to CD! Incredibly easy!

It also includes a utility to edit wav files, a fantastic media player, an MPEG video encoder, test utilities, video menu creators, and more! It even lets you drag and drop JPEGs and create a slide show on video CD! Just pop it into a DVD player and you can show friends and family your trip to the bahamas! Is that cool or what??

I could go on and on, but once you get to the page below, you'll see how powerful this software really is!

The PrintShop CD Label Creator:

The second part of this deal is The PrintShop CD Label Creator. This fantastic program makes creating professional looking CD tables a snap. With 100,000 online images, 10,000 images on the CD, plus over 1000 different layouts, creating that perfect CD label is easy! Oh, and yes - you can use your own photos - it even lets you edit them from within the program!

It uses a handy little Wizard interface, so it's a very fast, step my step procedure. Of course, you can edit whatever the wizard creates or just create a new label from scratch. It even includes tutorials to help answer any questions you may have. Finally, since it's from the makers of The PrintShop, you know it's a quality piece of software.

I wish I could go on, but I don't want to write a book on these two programs! They are both incredibly good, and the bundle price is fantastic. Just think, for $19.97, you can have the ultimate burning kit! Oh, if you only want one of the programs described above, you can buy them individually. Click the link below now!

PS - Don't miss out! This is an incredible deal and we may not see this good of a price again! Remember, if you don't think it's as good as I say it is, just return in within 30 days for a refund! Nothing to lose - unless you wait and miss out!

MS Office 101

One Sentence At A Time Please

Ever find yourself trying to highlight just one sentence?

What are you doing?

Trying to drag the cursor to just the "perfect spot" to get it all but not too much?

Or maybe you're using Ctrl + Shift + arrow keys to get one word at a time?

Did you click at the beginning of the sentence, hold down the shift key and then carefully click at the end of the sentence?

These all work - but would you like a faster way?

Yes - I'm sure you do. (Who wouldn't want the fastest way to get the job done right?)

Next time you need just one sentence highlighted try this combination:

Ctrl + click

I tried this in many programs and found that it worked in both MS Word and PowerPoint.

Ctrl + click. You should get just the one sentence you clicked over, including the punctuation, with nothing extra.

No fuss, no muss!

Office Tip of the Day

More Watermarks Please

As a follow up to last week's tip on watermarks in MS Word, let's take a look at watermarks in PowerPoint.

Since we discussed the "Why" questions related to watermarks in the last issue, let's get right down to business.

For a watermark on a single slide:

The first step is to either navigate to a pre-existing slide or create a blank slide.

Now insert the "perfect" picture for your watermark. (Insert menu, Picture sub-menu, choose the appropriate option to get the picture you need.)

The picture toolbar should open… but if it doesn't simply go to the View menu, Toolbars sub-menu, Picture choice.

You're looking for the Image Control button, Watermark choice from the pull-down menu.

From there you can use the other buttons to adjust brightness and contrast.

When you've got the picture as you want it right click over it.

From the pop-up menu you need the Order sub-menu, Send to Back choice.

Poof!

Your slide should now appear with the information in the front and your picture as a watermark in the background.

What's that I hear you asking?

Did you say…

"But, what if I want the watermark on all of my slides? I don't want to repeat this on every slide!"

That's what I thought I heard. (And I must say that I agree. I wouldn't want to repeat this on every slide either!)

Fortunately, the answer is "No Problem".

Instead of going to a particular slide to add the watermark, go to the Slide Master.

Go to the View menu, Master sub-menu, Slide Master choice.

Now that's you're in the Slide Master simply follow the rest of the steps to create the watermark.

When you're done click the Close button on the Master toolbar that opened when you went into the Slide Master.

And… just like magic - every slide of the presentation has the watermark.
