The
Calculator
Ever have trouble
finding your hand held calculator when you need it right away? Sometimes
those things seem to hide in secret places and it can be frustrating when
you can't find it.
Well, how about you
use the calculator on your computer instead? I guarantee you won't ever
lose this one. Just go to Start, All Programs,
Accessories and choose Calculator. A
little calc will pop up and you just use your mouse to punch in the numbers
that you need.
The plus (+), minus
(-), multiply (x), division (/) and percent (%) signs are off to the right
and it even has a fraction (1/x) and squareroot (sqrt) button in case
you need those. There's also a Backspace button for when you accidentally
type in the wrong thing.
You can also go to
the View menu and switch it over to a scientific calculator
if you need a more advanced calc. That one comes with a bunch of other
features as well, all located under the View menu. If you need any Help
working the calculator, just go to the Help menu and
check out the Help Topics. It's just a really easy way to use a calculator
when you're doing your online banking, etc.
You can also access
the calculator by going to Start, Run
and typing in "calc" (without the quotations).
Happy Calculating!
